quadmanw, I definitely recommend it as a place to check out. As I said above, it is not for everyone and some like it and some hate it. If you are a good rider and like a good challenge I think you would like it. One cool thing is even if someone is not real adventurous themselves you can watch others who try some crazy sh*t and that is part of the experience. The pace is rather slow because of the technical riding, hills, and mud holes and overall I prefer trails I can haul *** on but it is a neat experience.
I definitely recommend having a guide or following another group around because someone could get in serious trouble if they go down the wrong trail.
Current quads:
- Honda TRX 400EX - fully built 416cc motor and full XC racing setup for fast trail riding and hill climbing
- Kawasaki Prairie 650 - work quad for around our property and main quad for the wife to ride
- Suzuki LT80 - kids quad
- Honda TRX 350RX - my old school hybrid MX quad from the 90's that has a 250R chassis with a built 350X motor and has now been converted into a XC setup
Previously owned several other sport quads and a few trikes over the years.
