ohyeah i know what ya mean, the point was that i've never seen a budget levy for fire and paramed fail, but it seems when the state needs money, the first thing they threaten to cut is police. like schools, they always threaten to cut busses and sports...
i myself was a firefighter for a few years, and remember visiting a friend at the Watts, CA fire station. There, when you roll an engine, you have rifle armed police on board the engine! too much for me! guess there's an exception to every rule, eh?

The fact that you are only 14, willing to work, and smart enough to know what you can afford speaks highly for you. At 14 I still wanted a 10 speed bike but never bought one until I was over the hill. Keep working, all things come to those who wait and work.

 

I tried to play it smart, I started off with older stuff when I was younger like around 12-14. I first had a Suzuki Quadsport 230 bought it for $900.00 rebuilt the whole motor and sold it for $1500.00. got out of riding quads for a couple years now I'am 17 and bought a brand new 2002 Yamaha Warrior for 4400.00. I have a part time job work about 30-35 hrs a week. I put a shiz load of aftermarket into it already too. durablue 2+2 axle,n-stlye graphics,Renthal bars,airbox lid,handquards,steering stem. chrome plated swingarm. I'am now planning on either +2 a-arms or a bog bore or stroker motor kit. The way I get alot of my funds is selling stuff through ebay. key sentence "One persons junk is another persons tresure". I also finianced the quad with the help of my dads signature, I just make a 130.00 payment once a month which makes it cheap! just pay for a long time.

 

Conman I agree. Below your means is the key. I shoulda wrote it that way.

 

I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE,BUT A LOT OF UTILITY QUAD OWNERS ARE OLDER GUYS LIKE ME WHO ARE RETIRED AND HAVE RAISED THEIR KIDS AND HAVE A FEW BUCKS LEFT OVER,TO BUY OUR "TOYS". ROE
