Default Puget Sound/Seattle NW Area Riders Meet HERE!!!

OK here's my story.This was my second trail ride ever.WHAT A BLAST!!! Even with the carnage ferry on my left shoulder. I was going up into the gravel pit and was so close to the top. All I saw was this big white area up ahead. Then I thought that was my front fenders. I hit the ground, my quad landed on it's side. I picked it up and it rolled backwards down another "little" hill going side over side. I'm chasing it down the hill when I see my NEWLY FIXED headlight bouncing around freely. My handlebars were bent pretty good. MB was really worried because all he saw was me and my pile of quad down a hill that wasn't even in the same direction that everyone was going. DID I SAY WHAT A BLAST. Dirtmomma and I went on a "girl ride" and had a blast. I WILL DEFINATLEY BE BACK. I'm not a scardy cat. It was nice meeting everyone and putting a face to the names that I talk to regularly. I'm looking forward to the next ride with everyone.

The coat is a tad bit long, caught myself sitting on it a once but no big deal, didn't notice any stiffness
The hood rolled up in the collar's bulky, gonna cut it off, don't need it for riding
The bibs worked great, was dry from the knees up, could use gators, water splashed up inside, pants were wet from knees down, or I could just tighten the velcro straps over boots
Loved the velcro pockets, 4 of them on the coat, the zippered pocket on the pants held my keys with no problem
The zipper on the bibs allows you to pull the front of the bibs down enough to take care of business
Bottom line, for $65.00 after one ride I give them 5 out of 5 stars
Of course other opinions will vary, but I'm satisfied, would switch to something lighter on top for warmer weather rain riding though, the coat does keep you toasty
After seeing the pictures from Runamuk0 I must say, it's afully red, which is ok, would look good on the Scrammy and doesn't look too shaby on a Raptor either [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
If you're looking just for all around foul weather wear, I thinks it's a bargin, they do have the coats out on the display table to try on, M L XL XXL, I have a L, Sean bought a M, the L coat's arms run alittle long, the L is actually roomy, if you go that route, get an L, or just try one on and decide

It was whole body across the back of the quad. If you saw where those 2 clowns were, you'd offer me a beer for gettin' them out. It took me and Andy 10 minutes to get it.
Take it easy I was JUST KIDDING [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I'm NOT worried about it & THANKS for getting them out!! I figured someone would get stuck rididng w/ Bobby & Doug LOL I hear DJ almost took her off a nice cliff too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Doug thought he was going but he saved it whew!!

Don't worry about the fender it's just a POS Honda anyway like all our other quads LMAO

WEll Quad4fun WELCOME to the world of mini racing LOL you WILL learn quick it is VERY expensive & NO you won't get to ride anymore LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Thats what happend to US!! Heck we(Ron & I) haven't rode since Sept. due to racing, we had so much fun being back on the trails this weekend that we'll be doing MUCH more trail riding this summer!!! Plus taking the the kids on the trails makes them MUCH better on the tracks, that's what 1/2 of the problem is w/ some of them they ONLY ride on race tracks!!

The tax man is currently shopping for a trail machine for Brandon, as his 40 is only rideable (due to the airbox) on a race prepped surface (no water). Or he can just wait for it to dry out. Looking for a 70-90cc machine.
