i got to say one thing about these comments. you were tempted to push your quad by hand instead of getting pushed in by another quad? for the love of god why, i personally think you would look like a moron pushing your quad 100 yards instead of letting another quad pull you too the pumps. what exactly do you think you gain by doing that?

thats just like guyz who refused to get pulled out by another brand of quad. that has to be the dumbest thing i ever saw. case in point we had a guy on a popo 500 or something get buried in the same pit 3or 4 others of us got stuck in. no big deal we all got pulled out except him, he refused to get pulled out cus it was a honda. mind you the 3 other guyz had no issue with a forman pulling them, i mean who the hell cares. i don't even grasp why this is a problem for some people. well long story short he couldn't get it out, refused to let us pull him out, finally after 6 hours(we left him, he was pretty pissed) we came back, and finally he let us pull him out, cost him 65 bucks in fuel to sit in a mud pit for the entire day. just plain stupid if you ask me, is it a pride thing?, honestly i don't know

people need to grow up abit

weez im not aiming this directly at you, but just think about what your gaining next time you think something like that. remember were suppose to be having fun


oh on the fuel note, when i did the 115miles, i burned around 3 gallons, we average around 30mpg with our ranchers, although the 400at did worse then my 350 es at about 3.2 gallons

well i was just joking around about that pushing by hand instead of letting them push me with the atv cause i really don't care and well you don't know what it is like to live here and drive another brand other then a polaris. ok i think that polaris makes well lets say the highest maintanance machine on the market and they are made right here where i live, so you have everyone and their brother that are blind to this fact that think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread and will take any opportunity to poke fun at any situation they can and some guy did when we got to the pump. people around here are complete a-holes about this subject and that is why i didn't like it. if i am out in the swamp and get stuck i don't care what pulls me out as long as something does but usually i have the winch i can hook onto something and pull myself out anyways. and i am glad your what 350 rancher that weighs about 400 pounds soaking wet got so much beter gas mileage then my 650.

Weez, when I'm home we'll have to hit the Beltrami state forrest. I've only been thru there on sleds, but always with guys that knew the routes, and always at 100mph. I'd like to do it on wheelers, and a bit slower. Maybe meet in Roseau and ride to Fourtown? I've also wanted to take the trails west. If we meet in Grygla or Fourtown, I'll be riding from Goodridge.

dude i was just commenting on what my bike gets, wasn't really trying to prove anything, don't be so sensative.


ps my bike weighs 535 pounds stock, plus my addons, puts me over 575lbs, um sorry?

pps, thats dry, not soaking wet :-)

Hey there Littlebill....the reasoning behind a lot of guys having the mentality "I'll push it first" is usually because the ribbing and bragging may never end from your buddies. All in good fun.

I don’t suppose it can be during the week? If not, no sweat, I’ll just have to clear it w/ the boss. Anyway, it looks like the week-end of 26 August would be best for me. Also, look in your private message box. We can arrange the meeting place later.
