A toolbox or emergency repair kit can't possibly be considered complete without an assortment of zip-ties. These handy fasteners are available in a multitude of sizes and can be had in any color imaginable. I'm guessing that any racer or enthusiast who spends a great amount of time on an ATV can recall multiple instances of a simple zip-tie saving the day. Boyd Simonton of Clarksville, Virginia, wrote ATVR to share the brilliant use of a zip-tie to secure the front brake while ATVs are in transit. This tip had been shared in a previous issue, but it's certainly a tip worth repeating. It also brings about an opportunity to share more clever uses of the zip-tie around the ATVR garage.
