My 500efi is sad
Other than taking a 15 min ride around our property once a week, for 15 months I haven't been able to ride my quad. I am a proud dad of 15 month old twins a boy and a girl. How can I gently convice my wife to agree to let me go for a ride. I live about 20 minutes from the Rubicon Trail in Northern California. She's pretty cool about me and my atv but now with the twins, OMG! I don't want her to kill me in my sleep. By the way, I've given each a real slow ride on the driveway and they cried for what seemed like two hours when i took them off the atv, they loved it. Can't wait to get them their new quads.

Yea I know what you mean. Remember though, Dad needs his "The way out" time too! There's
NO silver bullet brother, just work it out and NOT FEEL GUILTY when you take short breaks
to ride, many of us have families too, although TWINS I don't but 2 babies one year apart I can
relate a little. Hang in there! Remember to "cash-in" on the switch offs, when I had to watch
all 3, while one was on the bottle, the other a toddler and oldest 3yrs old, man I don't miss those
crazy nights when my wife went to school, but on the trade off, I would say "My turn!"...8-)

When I read that, 15 months without a ride, I thought what happened, were you in prison? LOL. Glad to hear it was good news instead.</end quote></div>
Good one Jumbo!
Maybe try and plan it out. Ask her now when would be the best time to go in the next two weeks. Or tell her you have to take it to the shop, drop it at a buddys house then call off work. It just might work. Like Pastrana says it's better to have tried and failed then to never tried at all!

Don't know what kind of trails you have, but if they have UTV trails you could go this route. Ranger Crew Cab That way the whole family could go. I can just picture 4 child seats in this rig.
