Fire road racing is what I love the most wide open ,sliding around corners getting some air at 50 mph or skipping over a big mud hole . during winter here i like to set up my own private ice racing track , on the local lakes .

I will be 41 in May. I own a DS650, a CR250R and a Suzuki LTZ250. My wife rides too and she is getting close to 40. Age has nothing to do with it, you are as young as you feel. It just hurts more when you fall, which doesn't really make any since because as you age you get more insulated. You would think all that added cushion would soften the blows!!? Just try and ride within your ability and you will be fine.

im 41 and ride a honda 400ex ,my wife rides a Polaris Sportsman 500HO. The Polaris is comfortable and pretty powerful for such a big Quad. But I get bored riding it for very long. The Honda is so much more fun sliding thru corners and wheeling up and down hills, I wouldnt trade your sport quad,If your having fun your not too old[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Iam 40 and ride a modded raptor 350. I love sport quad riding. It makes me feel 18 again. My wife is in her mid 30's and suggested we buy quads. We started with 2 Kawasaki mojave 250's and within six months I traded up. I havent even had this raptor 350 for a year yet and am already looking at a 700 raptor or DS650. My wife loves sport quads also. Maybee when I 65+ and almost on a walker will I change to a utlilty quad or quit the sport. Dont ever let anyone tell ya your too old. Most people think I am in my late 20's early thirtys. I think sport quads are the fountain of youth.
