Anyone here in the knowledge?

yeah - they're fukcing lethal things. Avoid.

Not in fields if you ride them properly like I used to - very, very different to a bike, but still proper fun

Brabus · 30-05-2008, 09:03 AM

Yep, I've had a few

Last one was one was even road legal...a Polaris.

I think N3WOB is meaning the road legal kind

There was a Belgian muppet hooning around the village of Spa on a quad - very quick in a straight line, but not much good around corners.

What's the matter anyway, Ross - do you need stabilisers on your push-bike as well?

I have a space in my garage for a quad, and yes doubt I'll be using it off road, more for having fun around town especially while the weathers warmer.

Dont panic, I'll be going for lowered suspension, low profile road tyres, wide track and more bling than xibit

Just wondered if anyone knew of the models to avoid, those that are ok and those that are the danglies. Also what goes wrong with them?

Cheers

Very little goe wrong with the jap ones. Which ones are you looking at? Can you get a Yamaha Raptor 600 for the road in the UK?

N3WOB · 31-05-2008, 07:51 AM

Haven't really spent much time on it yet. Do you know a good dealer?

Quadzilla's seem to come up quite often, no idea whether they use jap parts?

Well seems to have taken me a while to get it sorted but the new toy arrives imminently

Does anyone know who best to approach for insurance...guessing this is more specialist than bike insurance?
