5. Attract the cops to once great secret ridding area's. (See #4)
6. Diver like *ss *holes in the parking area.
7. Die from a false sense of confidence thinking their safer on a quad.
8. Wear the mandatory backwards baseball cap and wife beater T-shirt.
9. Think that side wheelie's look cool.
10. ARE MAKING OFF ROAD SPORTS ON LONG ISLAND EXTINCT. SELL YOUR STUPID QUAD AND BUY A BIKE!!!!

atv's vs dirtbikes
I love dirtbikes and atv's the same amount. I started out on bikes so I will ALWAYS have a bike. I got started in atv's in 2001 so I am sort of new. I've been around all the bikes and atvs all my life since we own a Kawi dealership. On a dirtbike you can fly higher, and are faster. Lighter, and more powerful compared to an atv of equal engine size. I love hittin the jumps and berms hard on a bike. You are in more control on a bike. Atv's are great cause you can ride them all yr round. A dirtbike you can too but it sucks in the cold and when its muddy out. Atv's are a lot more comfortable trail riding. Its nice bein able to just sit on a quad and not worry about balancing and you can give people rides a lot easier. You can get stuck a lot easier on a quad though and its harder to get unstuck. Bikes don't get stuck as easily and are easy to get out. You can use atv's for work also since the utes have racks and some have four wheel drive. I will always own both bikes and atv's the rest of my life. Gives me somethin to do and gets me out of the house thats the main thing we all should be thankful for when it comes to dirtbikes and atv's. Thats what we all have in common no matter which you like better.

Loud pipes save lives! Yes more pressure = more power thus the loud sweet sound of a 2 stroke poping and pinging through the air. You have parking areas? We have open desert.
Over growth is making Off road riding a thing of the past not us riders. Who but us do we bother out there???? I love the sound of a Thumper, new top end on a dirt bike poping. The smel of race gas burnning in the air. Guess I'm hard core. I still like them both.

atv's vs dirtbikes
one advantage to the quads here...
when i had my kodiak, my friends on their bikes constantly made fun of me for being so slow... kinda funny though. they occasionally broke down. and if i wasnt around they had a long walk.
but, when i was around, we threw the bike on my back rack, and they also rode back with me. that always made them shut up quick... especially when a chick was around...

heres some reasons from douggust.com
TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY AN ATV INSTEAD OF A DIRTBIKE:
(Relax, dirtbike guys, this is just for fun...)
#1: There are more trails open to ATVs. (Dirtbikes are often banned due to the damage the tires do to any trail.)
#2: ATV's are better in snow and mud.
#3: There's nothing like power-sliding around a corner on an ATV. Do this on a dirtbike and you'll end-up on your head.
#4: Statistically, ATVs are safer. (If you wear a helmet and get an ATV that's the right size for you.)
#5: Competition in the ATV world is still very open. There's lots of room to make your mark. (Everybody and his cousin is racing dirtbikes...)
#6: It's easier to transport and carry 'stuff' on an ATV.
#7: When you're parked, your girlfriend can sit on the seat with you, and it won't tip over like a dirtbike would.
#8: ATV's can have a safety flag on them for visibility on the dunes and trails. Put a flag on a dirtbike, and you'll look like a d0rk oh my gosh!!!, why cant you say d0rk on this forum!!!!!!.
#9: ATV racing coverage and popularity will be exploding in 2004 and 2005 (due to the new participation by the major manufacturers).
#10: ATV guys get all the (best) ladies....
