Let's just say that we had the whole thing to ourselves:0 NOBODY else went riding.

We put wet towels on our heads and it felt great. Just was a little worried about the quads. There was a lot of heat coming off the engines. I'm sure that will be the last trip out there for a while [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

i had brake vibration from the front. turned out to be hotspots on my rotors. i put after-market performance rotors on (they're not cross drilled, but they have a cross-cuts on each one, which are directional). they work great.
hey creator, on the wet towels on your head.. we have a LOT of folks up here that wear dry towels on their heads. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] (I'm gonna get it for that one!). my daughter just graduated grade 12 and she was outnumbered by these folks 4-1. my lesson learned is to accept it and learn to co-exist (which is pretty much what I already did before, this just really opened my eyes).
on our May long weekend, I went for a short, EASY putt-putt ride with my 9 y/o. so short and easy, I didn't wear a helmet. my brother in law who doesn't ride at all, was also along for part of the ride, with his 2 y/o son. naturally, i innocently managed to flip my quad on myself. Still not exactly sure how i did it. I kinda had my rear tire slide off a steep rut & BANG, the thing came over on top of me. In a flash I realized I had one chance as it came over and I kicked it off me in one motion.my ankle is still skinned and swollen. I feel like a fool for no helmet at the time. If I'd thot there was the slightest risk I was gonna be riding anything remotely risky, I wouldn't have hesitated to put on a helmet. it happens that easy.
HOSS, HOSS!! I'm going to Utah on Friday (well, as far as Ogden, on my way through to Evergreen, Colorado). Bought a JD tractor and several accessories.

I thought about that when I was wearing it but there was no one even close to tell me I looked like a fool [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
