My 18yr old daughter as a speech class that she must present statistics to make a point.  She figured - Why not do it in an area that she’s passionate about! 

She’d like to gather data to see why people choose an ATV or Dirt Bike as their recreational preference.  We ride just about every weekend and have been for years.  She loves both the dirt bikes and her ATV.

I think she’d like to see what makes us all tick.  Why we favor one thing over another and how we came to that decision.  If you’re interested – please take the time to answer as many, or as few, questions as you have the stamina for and we’ll repost our (extremely) un-scientific results!
