I haven't owned a quad since I was old enough to own and operate a car or motorcycle.

They're fun as shtein though.

Especially when you do this to them....





That's a quad with a Suzuki GSX-R 600 streetbike motor in it......oh, and it's turbocharged. Fun. And very likely quite deadly.

OMG, yea I'd say deadly. This will be my first one. My dad has 21 acres of land at his place so it should be a great spot to romp around  :yay

I have seen a ton of Mustangs recently. One of them was maroon...awful. White and black are the best.

I saw a Porsche Carrera too. Those cars are so badass.

I saw a two porsche turbos this past weekend. carrera's are nice, but turbo is all performance

Do you have a trailer for your ATV? I've heard that this is a pretty cool place:

Yeah, the site sucks. But the place looks like fun.

Back when I got my Honda CRV, I read where a bunch of CRV owners converged on the place and went through some pretty tricky trails. Well, for a stock CRV they were tricky.

Anyway, if I ever get a trail bike or something like that again, I'm hoping to visit there.

mussa

sweet let me know if you do

my quad:

i also ate shtein saturday, but not on my quad, on a buddies 250 Yamaha 2 stroke Motorcross bike. fargn thing got away from me and I wheelie'd for like 25 ft and then just let go. Landed pretty hard on my back, thankfully just bruised and sore, nothing cracked.  Those damn bikes are soooo fast

I cut my teeth on ones like that. It's touch when it pulls up like that, and your instinct to hold on just cranks the throttle more. LOL
