truck,

No, don't do it.

Just ride in a responsible manner.

Utility quads are just as dangerous.

It always seems like when you turn it over or do a flip the quad wants revenge from all the hard riding and it gets it by smashing into you.

I fell your pain literaly. I stopped racing b/c w/ 2 kids and bills getting hurt was to expensive. I still ride the MX tracks but I made a promise to myself no matter how bad I want to i will not take any doubles. In the woods I make sure that I know the trail before I even consider fast riding then it is not the pace I once rode. Keep riding just keep those big black things down.

The 01 is bone stock the header pipe has'nt changed colors yet it still looks new.The 98 has a fmf header & muff,ac nerfs,renthal bars & super swamper tsl's/itp wheels.Email me if you want prices.Both wrecks this year were stupid,One was a 8 ft ditch just as I got to the top the frt end came up & I did not let off the gas enough that was on a 00 300ex I had.The second wreck was two sundays ago.Right after it rained I was ripping down a open feild and decided to slide it to a stop & spin it around,jsut about the time it came to a stop it grabbed traction & over we went,I found out that as you get older you don't bounce,you just splat.2 little mistakes has cost me alot.Good luck Daryl BTW both wrecks were at 10mph or less $3000.for the 98 $3500. for the 01 or both for $5000.

me too, a ute is just as dangerous. it all depends on how you ride, it don't matter what your driving, actually a ute wouldn't handle as good as a sport quad, therefor it would flip quicker.

truck,

I would try a dirtbike. They are safer, they don't fall on you as much.

I would go for a KDX200 or for down low power a KDX220.
