Fun fun!!!

I rode quads for years before I started two-wheeling on the street.

Had a banshee, raptor, warrior, just about the whole yamaha line up.

Have an 88 250R in the garage but it doesn't get ridden too much anymore.

Paulcet · October 14, 2009, 07:17:46 PM

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the webbing in front of the footpegs for?

keeps yer feet from getting mangled by those rear tars

yeah i have to tighten the chain a bit but im still working on suspension set up so theres no point in adjusting the chain 100 times. I think it will still be going lower and that will change chain tension. yep the netting is like a safty net for the rider if he happens to fall off a peg.

Nice one! Enjoy.
I drove quad bikes (manual and semi-automatic) for the first time last year while on a men's weekend away so the testosterone levels were high!

Then my youngest son (11 y.o.) went away on his outdoor school camp last week and gets a shot on one. He was disappointed that he wasn't allowed to go fast. His mum is just relieved he's still alive.

Same one, right?

joshr08 · December 25, 2011, 08:56:52 AM

Yes same quad but completely rebuilt big bore kit and customized frame for flat track racing. All work done by me.

hmmm well here is a dumb question... why cant we have road legal quads with 1000 and up cc engine on it?? i for one would love to have one lol

I see street legal golf carts on the road now with tags. If you put all the safety, lights and blinkers I'm sure you could have one on the street. Like I said I have tons of golf carts on the roads here in South Florida.
