This is the best thing I have heard yet!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If you have the ability to purchase and ride a quad I guess you should be thankful. I am sure that there are many who would love to but don't have the luxury. We all have our own agenda's and reasons for purchasing what we ride, lets ride and have a good time recreating and enjoying the majesticness of Gods beautiful out doors.

Pastor are you going to make it Tuesday would love to see ya there!

 

And remember folks;

My quad is better than your quad[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Yeah...but you still drive a Chevy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Are you done with your kitchen?

 

Hey guys I got a question about street legal ATV's here in N. Idaho.
We met this guy out at the Fernan Saddle a couple weeks ago (nice fella, gave us some gas, maybe some of you know him, he rode a Camo BF 750 and his wife had a red Kodiak 450 I believe.) and he told me that all I needed to ride my quad on the street was it had to have mirrors, a horn, and it had to be registered. My quad has mirrors, is registered, and I have the horn kit I just haven't put it on yet. I'm really eager to know if this is true or not, as it'll be a blast to ride my quad to school once I get my lisence. So what do you guys know about street legal ATV's here in N. Idaho?
Thanks.

I'll bet my next paycheck you can't get a belt to slip on my ATV! By the way, the manual Vinney skids logs very well. I hope to have a skid plate built in the next couple of weeks, and that should help speed up the process a lot. I do not recommend trying this with a automatic quad, go to Montanna Jacks web site and look at their equipment for skidding to see why. All those people that said I had to get red fir since Tam was impossible to find didn't know about my secret weapon. Sure is nice to drop a tree, cut it into 12 foot lengths, back up the quad, hook up the chain, and tow it to the trailer. I can't wait for next winter when I can tell Avista they can kiss my ash!

 

Ragged.. Too bad you guys are not going on Wednesday, I could make that day, I have to work until about 11am on Tuesday. Shoot I am all locked and loaded to go from the Saturdays ride that got rained out anbd that I had to work too long.. That sucked.

One wolf...I believe he is right on the requirements...Lights, horn, mirrors, and registered in ID

Im thinking Bunco / Fernan for tuesday....never been to either so not sure what to think...what is more scienic and are they both logging roads or trials??

Ragged,
How soon you forget........I had to tow your big bad 800 Poo Poo out of a hole you dug in the easy part of the trail. The trail you couldnt follow me on.
And your buddy with the other 800 left early due to a slipping belt on his brand new 800 Poo Poo.
So where is the crap my friend?

 

If is wife has a black Kodiak, I do know him. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Yes, mirrors, horn, plate, brake light, insurance, and drivers license makes your quad street legal. Not all streets are legal for quads to ride on though. The state allows local municipalities to designate which roads you can ride on. Forest Service roads are OK. But its up to the local law as to where you can ride. I know you see people riding down the street at times, but that don't mean its legal. There is some 'grey' area here, as Quads are not DOT approved for street use.


Ragged - Bunco much more scenic, get views of Pend Oreille. But its mostly road some 2 track can be found.
Fernan not as scenic but still nice. Trail 28 great 2 track quad trail, loads of fun.

 

Benchmark quads?

Suzuki first quad
Honda first 4x4
Polaris Sportsman first utility for the masses
Kawasaki Prairie first big bore

Whats the next? Hard to say, EFI is the best thing to happen lately. Time will tell if there will be any more truly benchmark or stand out quads.
There are lots of great ideas coming out of the manufactures. The more ideas, competition, and options in the market, the better for us.

Who's to say which is better, faster, stronger, lighter, etc... Just give me a group of friends, a quad to ride, and I'm happy!
At the end of the day, the memories are of the great ride, the trail, the views, and the people you enjoyed the experience with. I don't much care who was riding what, but more like, did you see the moose? or that hill was crazy, or I just about dumped it on that one.

I put a lot of miles on. I've had the opportunity to ride most quads out there. And I ride with lots and lots of other people. I have learned a few things over the years....

Polaris, ain't no good in the snow period. But will still run with water over the tank! Amazing.
Honda's great in the snow, but wont run with water up to the fenders.
Kawasaki. You can't beat a Prairie on the tight and twisty, but a BF you can.
Yamaha, Narrow chassis, but pretty much bulletproof. Very reliable. Yamaha mechanics are like the Maytag man.
Bombardier. Don't like big air or deep water.
Suzuki? Well better in the snow than Polaris, deeper in the water than Honda, faster on the tight and twisty than a BF, reliable like a Yamaha, and big air is not a problem. Well I guess I'm guilty of brand loyalty too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Dang it, Lets Ride!!!
