My name is Bill, I'm 35 married with three kids. I joined late last year, was looking into picking up a quad. finally picked one up last month. After researching and asking questions around here (great place, and very helpful), went and looked at a few. finally decided on a 2004 400ex. picked it up for $1200. Now I'm looking for places to ride, clubs to join locally. I live in Charleroi Pa 15022. it's about 45 minutes south of Pittsburg. also I'm looking for a trailer to haul a couple quads on. If anyone has info on local places to ride, or groups. let me know, thanx.

Welcome to the forum, you have a few places to ride there in PA. I didn't google your location, but I know of two places off the top of my head, one is in Dunmore Pa, its outside of Scranton, its the Lost Trails ATV park, I thought it was ok. There is another around-ish Pittsburgh but I can't recall the name, I haven't ridden there yet.

Here is a link for you, there are some pretty decent places to ride there (compared to ****-ville, I mean New York. LOL)

Pennsylvania ATV Trails

Sorry I couldn't have been a bit more help finding riding areas. If you have something to pull it with, Tractor Supply Company usually has a pretty good deal on smaller trailers, 4x5 and 5x6. You can also check Harbor Freights website, they have a very good deal on trailer kits. You have to build it yourself, but its a pretty easy build, and usually under $200. I have had a couple of those, and usually end up selling them for more that I had into them.

Usually those little trailers are easy to pull even if you don't have a truck. But as a small warning, those trailers are cheap for a reason, if you get one it never hurts to beef up the tongue and frame. A little extra goes a long way with them.
