Default Finally got my machine!, But I ended up with a bike

I know these are quad forums but I just wanted to post for those who helped me out with my quad and bike research and wanted to thank everyone. I also posted on another forum but they removed my thread. I don't really see what the big deal is, can't us quad and bikers all get along?

Anyhow, here she is.

It runs great! 03' V-force reeds, Pro-Circuit strait from the header, Proaction suspension. I haven't got to ride it much due to the massive snowstorms we've been getting but when I have it's been a blast!

Sweet, what is that a 125 or 250? The main thing that sucks is trying to ride on 2 wheels in the snow. 4 wheels are much better. But the things that I used to like about dirtbikes over 4 wheelers are you don't get as muddy, the suspension and ride is much better, you can go thru deeper mud without getting stuck, and your girlfriend won't want to ride on the back!

It's a 125. I'll probably move to a 250 in a year or two but at 135lbs it carts me around pretty well. Yeah I love how my friends ask to ride on the back of everyones quad but me. I might put screws in my other pair of tires for the winter but yeah man, nothing beats drifting a quad in the snow

If I weren't so clumsy, I would've gotten a dirtbike instead of a quad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I'm prone to take risks and severely injure myself though!

Nice bike. A lot of us started out on bikes and still have them. I enjoyed dirt bikes more than anything, but I can no longer ride them. You can't have more fun than drifting in the sand or snow on a dirt bike. Of course you can bust your behind, but that it all a part of it.
