Heres my story,got the buggy fever 4 or 5 yrs ago when I saw a yerfdog with 150cc Engine at Sams club.I was with my 10 yr old daughter and she thought it was cool too.Well I saved some money and got that yerfdog as a xmas present for the both of us.That was the most excited I've ever seen her on Xmas.Well after modding out yerfdog as much as i could i still wanted more power.This was the last incarnation of the yerf

Sold the yerf and for a couple hundred more as able to upgrade to a chinese 250 cc buggy.With help from members of buggynews.com I modded out the 250cc as much as i could,but of course still wanted more power.Heres some video of the 250cc

kept reading post on buggynews about how great the odysseys were but didnt think I'd ever be able to get one.I finally decided to get serious about it,saved some money,sold my other buggy and then became obssesed with trying to find a odyssey to buy,and it had to be the 350.Checked craigslist 2 or 3 times a day,not just my city,but just about every city in Tx,plus other states.Checked ebay to of course.Found one that wasn't my first choice,but the price was only 1000 bucks so I went and looked at it.It was a 350,no fenders,with a polaris watercooled 425 Engine.I was the first one there,test drove it at night in his yard and it ran pretty good,told him i wanted it but it didnt feel right.when i came to pick it up on my day off test drove it again and it ran like crap and i told him never mind.
Then i found this one i have now,original everything.drove it for all of 30 minutes before dying on me,but with Hoser's help and the other members of this forum I'm going to get it going again and i know i'm going to enjoy the hell out of it.In the short time i rode it,it was a blast and just blew the doors off my other buggys.I don't think I'll be hooking a stereo up to this one though,lol

I forgot you had the yerfdog. I had two of them, one was a two seater and the other a one seater. Both had the 6hp Tecumseh. I bought the one seater from Academy and the two seater from i cant remember where. 10 years later I bought the Fl350's
