wouldnt that be soo cool?

 

yeah that would be great, my truck would have like, almost no miles on it, I would just get on one of the quads and Haul @$$!!

 

i imagine it'd be pretty hard on the tires. being that they are always spinning at the same speed would make constant corners on asphalt/concrete like a cheese grater (sp?)

 

Naww, cause if they were street legal you just have you another set of wheels and adapters to stick on there with some some car tires on it,, Problem solved

 

It would be sweet fo sure. there is a street legal production quad in eroupe 85hp 76ft/lb tourqe or sompin. here is a lil blip on it.

America is screwed. although you can throw a singe street bike swing arm on the back of your quad and it can be classified as a trike. not to much work to throw on some blinkers

 

your car have a locker? mine does and riding on the road is NOT easy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

i guess it wouldn't be that bad..... but then we'd have to rename all the right hand lanes the polaris lane

JK

 

yeah I know what you mean about a locker in a car but its a little different on a fourwheeler. I am sure that you have hit a strip of pavment somewhere on your quad havent you?? It is harder to drive but its not unbearable or anything like that.

 

i heard polaris was gonna release a street legal predator that can be driven in the states that it meets teh standards

 

I have ridden atvs on pavement since 81 and I thought they would be pretty safe on the road until this weekend. I took a motorcycle safety course to get my motorcycle endoresment and it really changed my mind.

The bottom line is that when moving at speeds of 30 + mph swerving or changing direction is very difficult compared to a bike, especially in emergency situations. I'm not taking about a big Utility atv either, I had a full race 250r with zps shocks (see my gallery) and compared to my new bike I can now see the difference and danger in operating a quad at 70 or 80 mph on asphalt.

 

Rob,

You're right, the quick emergency moves (roll-over city) that trouble the SUV market would kill ATVs on the road. A lot of people would be getting hurt and killed because morons in cars that don't see bikes likely wouldn't see quads either.
