like the title says are you book smart or street smart. lately riding ive come across alot of people with no common sence. last week at our riding spot this one guy fried his motor on his 660 raptor. we asked him if he changed his oil lately or even checked it. he simply replied no. by then the group of people we were riding with knew it didnt belong no where near anything with a motor. he had all he could do to put gas in it

none of the above, i am a dumb *****.

i am both pretty much really. graduated HS with a 3.96 GPA, holding a 3.6 gpa in college. majoring in Mechanical engineering technolgy.

i also have common sense, and am street smart as well. i am pretty well rounded i guess.

just noticed your sig, ain't been on here in a while. not sure if you are the Rico i think you might be though.

did/do you ride a 416ex? and do you have a hand in another quad related site (that will remain un-named)?

if so, it has been a long time lol, and you probably have no idea who i am.

book smarts only get you a job pushing pencils and pays for a medicore existance

street smarts in most instances is what counts

I'm both. I usually don't act smart and serious all the time. Acting dumb and silly is a lot funner IMO:devil: :p

For serious this time.

Im pretty well rounded. I do good in school (mechanical engineering) and i have a fair share of common sense. Ive taught myself alot which i feel is a pretty important skill. I get by :cool:

im that kind of smart where i know alot about alot of things but stuff doesnt come to mind when i need it, like in school i pretty much mcgyvered (spelling?) everything and made it look easy, then got into the real world and tanked i thought at 21 id have like half a million bucks and all kinds of cool stuff but for now im just your average walmart goon, but im hopeful, all greats start somewhere.
