Im writing from England,Im on holiday...well last time I was here I brought the Rappy over in the trailer(I did this time too),to try out some English trails and tracks,I ended up riding the road as I always do.I went to a cycle store that sell MX Bikes and Road Bikes to buy goggles and a new helmet,when talking to the guy who runs the store he was fastinated that I had a street legal quad,he kept asking questions and stuff...
Its been about six months(or more) and Im back on holiday here,I go past that same cycle store and what do I see??? A big sign that says"The new craze:Road Legal Quads" and theres quads where half his stock of bikes were...and thats not all...it seems to have taken this place by storm,Ive seen no less than FOUR adverts in the local papers of other shops joining in on trying to sell these,and these shops are a good distance from the original store.Maybe soon the whole country will want one.
But have I done good or bad?
-Good:Extended ATV fan span to another country.
or
-Bad:Where there are ATVs there are people against ATVs...

One of the adverts in the papers had a website: Ng Quads

 

Either way, I wish I could have mine street legal but I guess they have to be Three wheels instead of four.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

The only bad side I can see is people trying to use them at high speed and getting hurt. They arent exactly safe at high speed on concrete.

 

thats funny

 

Exactly what I was thinking. A new set of street tires might help some but that locked rear axle is gonna be a pain at 70 mph.

 

Well Ive been fine in top gear on asphalt(except for slightly zig-zaging when at max speed,maybe its time for a steering stabalizer),BUT on WET asphalt the tyres dont hold as much as Id like...once I was driving past a golf coarse that had the sprinklers on,I didnt see it and all four tyres broke loose and I slided for eternity(well it seemed long,LOL),good job I was up to no good at 4 in the morning and I was the only one on the road.Ok ok,the tyres were new at the time but still they should of griped more than they did,I didnt brake or accelerate or anything to make it happen and I was only in 3rd,all four tyres just let go.
But on the dry stuff as long as you put your body into it,it does really well at 5th gear speed.Unless the corner is really tight...
Hmm,in England its mostly wet a lot of the time...I hope they dont take there quads out on the public roads on rainy days...
