Title: I starting to miss...
Post by: Blazinjr on November 05, 2005, 12:45:40 AM
having an ATV.  With the colder months here I miss not being able to go out and play in the woods.  It  is the first time I have not had one to ride since late in 1999.

When the snow starts flying I will really miss it, maybe I could just sit on the GS and dream a little :dunno:

I miss my Blaster...... :(

Yeah I used to have an '01 Yamaha Beartracker 250 that I would ride quite often. A motorcycle is more fun by leaps and bounds, but I still miss the off roading. Maybe someday I'll get another  :dunno:

I have always wanted a quad. I live in the city and don't have any place to ride one. I could get a trailer for it and haul it but don't want to mess with having to store the trailer......I'll get one someday.

i love quads, never had one of my own but many friends do.  There is a road that i frequent for my four wheel drive kicks and the friends take the quads and we all have a blast.  Here is a link to a couple pics a friend took on one of my calmer days, it was really cold and i didn't want to get stuck:

We have an '04 Honda Foreman....mostly for running around on the farm. I hate ES.....all the new ones seem to have that. I'm glad I didnt get that when I got this one.

I rolled it on me once..that sucked...my leg was stuck till I could pry it off me with a branch.

Here is a picture of my quad when I flipped it. I wasn't really flying or anything, but my front wheel went over a tree stump that was just a weeee bit too big and it threw off my center of gravity I guess  :dunno:

I didn't get hurt but as it tipped over I had to roll out of the way QUICK for fear of it crushing me. (If you look closely you can see the stump that cuased the flip..hehe)  :roll:

The Polaris I had first I flipped it forward going up a hill.  Yes you read that right.  Yes I did it and my friends said it looked really cool up until it pounded me into the ground on the second flip.

Dang, Blazinjr, you must have been flying up that hill to get it to flip forwards, twice.  :mrgreen:

They said It was skipping up the hill off of the tree roots.  Yes speed was a big factor.  When I do something I always give a 110% or full throttle :thumb:
