Don't ever try to bribe your wife by asking who's gonna dial 911 when you get hurt real bad!

Sportsman yes. Her legs would ride on the fenders and there were no footings or hand holds. To tight of fit.

Yes my wife thinks I am going thru a mid-life crises (50) but figures the quads are better than carousing.

My wife had a passing interest at best with ATVs when we got married. When we met I had been out of riding for almost 5 years. I went a long time without one because of other financial priorities, like buying and sellling 2 houses in 4 years. I bugged her for two years here and there about getting a new quad. This year she got a better job and I got a raise and I got the Warrior, with her backing, and on the condition that I put a trailer hitch on it to tow a small Swisher mower.

She had ridden ATVs a few times, mostly Polaris so she never shifted. But after a few lessons I couldn't get her off it long enough to get a ride in myself. Now she's in love with riding. We are saving for another quad, and she's talking about riding vacations to Canada.

Point is, if you stick by your guns and show your personal commitment to it, maybe she will see it might be a good family thing. Push her a little on WHY she has no interest. Is it a fear of the unknown? Or is she just not the type to EVER be interested? Just dig a little, women will often catch you by suprise.
