[AT] OT Four wheeers

[Cecil R Bearden]

When my Dad was alive and riding his Polaris, he was 88 at the time, he 
would ride sidesaddle as it always hurt to sling his leg over the seat.  
If I was going to buy another ATV I would find a step through model like 
the Deere Buck or CAN AM.

Personally, if I had it to do over again I would get a Honda, mine is hard to work on, and has had some expensive parts fail.  I just changed the oil on it yesterday, what a  royal PIA, I had to have my 16 year old daughter crawl under it to get the drain plug back in, a mans hand just will not fit. What the others have said about the side by sides is spot on, I have a friend who has bad knees and wrists, and he's looking to go that route because riding the traditional 4 wheeler is uncomfortable.
