Anyone ride quads?

[Dinky93]

Just wondering since I saw you guys have a bike thread. I ride a Yamaha YFZ450, mostly ride the dunes. Heres a pic of me doing a little jump at Florence,OR:


So anyone else ride?

Ozzy? Rik Mayall?

ooo ooo!! I do I do!! I only have a Ozark 250 though. Kind of small for me. But a fun little quad for wheelies and trail riding. Hopefully upgrading to a Honda TRX 400/450 soon.

LOL that looks like a "before" picture- The center of gravity seems as though it would be shifted so far back that you'd tip- I guess the engine being as low as it is keeps the weight forward, but it really did look like you were about to pitch backwards.

Pretty cool!

Aha rear brake my friend. And you're right the front end of the quad is very light compared to the back so it's easier to keep up, especially with such a short wheel base.

I'm disappointed. I thought you were going to share a story about how you mounted a quadriplegic once in your dungeon.

My hick neighbor! He likes to start it up while I'm sleeping on Saturdays - I crabby when woken! "What's wrong, not coordinated enough for a proper bike?" So he pisses me off. I flirt with his hot wife, so we're square. Ah, life's rich pageant!

I used to. They are very dangerous everyone I know has been fucked up by one.

My friend broke his colar bone riding one up hill and his leg hit the kill switch at the top and he rolled backwards and the quad fell on him.

Yeah, all the asshole kids in my residential neighborhood ride them. There is no place to legally ride one of these things within 100 miles of where I live. What kind of asshole parent buys one of these things for their kid in this type of situation? Why is it even legal to sell them here? I could understand if I lived upstate or in some rural area. Ive almost hit one of these dumb fucks flying through the neighborhood doing 45 on many occasions. And when it snows, forget it, theyre everywhere flying down all the main roads in packs. So when one of them hits me and gets injured, who's gonna get sued. I'll have to bash his brains in with a bat so he doesnt survive to sue me. Fuck Quads!

We should just make a law banning those things!!! Its for the children.

[Dinky93]

Woah guys, over here we actually have lots of places to ride them. I'm sorry that over where you guys live the kids that have them are irresponsible. Now over here in Oregon for under 16 in 2009 you need to take a test and get a license for riding on public land. Then every year it goes up in age so eventually everyone who rides will need one. Oh that picture actually isn't of me. Me and my dad both ride YFZ450 and that picture looks like me riding, but it's actually my dad. Later I will post one that is actually of me. Coo to see other guys ride on here. I don't think anyone over at GW forums do.

[AK47]

I was being sarcastic when I said we should ban them

We had lots of fun tearing around residential areas as kids on quads when we were too young to drive but it is harder to get away with it now.

[Dinky93]

Yeah, I gottcha. I just get pissed when people don't understand them fully when someone does something stupid they think everyone does. I also hate it when people say quads are for pussies or rednecks. They don't realize they are also racing bikes, they just say why don't you go get a dirt bike. Ahh, sorry for that little rant. Anyways, I found a picture that is actually me this time.

Honda 300EX owner. I dont ride as much as I used to because all the vacant land )woods, fields etc) around me is just about gone now and built up with new neighborhoods. The cops around here dont let you ride in residential areas and bust you as soon as they see you.
