Here is another genius statement from our friend. Why do you think ATV's are getting cracked on more than dirtbikes? Because more people get injured on ATV's.

If you read somwhere that people get hurt more on ATVs, it's because there are more ATVs there. That because sissies are few in number, and only sissies ride dirtbikes. Look at per capita, goofball.

Oh and BTW, just last fall I got beat in a race against a very early 90's CR250 when I was on my up to date 450R. I was mad to when I got beat by a $1000 dollar bike when I just spent almost $7000 on my quad, but I didn't come on here crying about it.
obviously your not a very good rider then... maybe you ought to just sale your ATV and go try your hand at dirt bikes

as I stated before the reason for this is when you crash on a bike it stops, and when you crash on a quad it chases you down and ruffs you up. I would say people crash on bikes more often but when you crash on a quad you usually get hurt cause a quad doesnt just fall over it flips and rolls and tumbles!!

Just go to google and type in ATV deaths, or ATV injuries and do the same for dirtbike or motorcycle, I believe the ATV deaths and injuries tally up higher than the dirtbike and motorcycle injury list combined. You might want to add the word "statistics" in your search.

And the only reason I know this is because my best friend just got killed on a ATV last August, that is why I have done research on it.


I still don't understand why you insist on calling dirtbike riders sissies? If it has a motor it is fun to me, whether it is a moped or a go-kart, I will have fun on it out at the farm or something. Besides, you can't sit and tell me that there isn't people who is afraid to jump on a CR250 for example, but they will jump on a Raptor.

in a race with very few turns and alot of high speed I will kill any quad on my TT600 and that goes for bikes too, unless it is a very good rider on a CR500 or other very powerfull bike.

My TT600 will put about 18 bike lengths on my 686 raptor and once the rappy is toped out the TT continues to widen that gap alot, and my bike weighs 295 LBS.

EXACTLY! You probably get more cuts and bruises on a dirtbike, but more broken bones and deaths on a quad. When a quad gets out of control they can go a ways before they stop. Usually if you get out of control on a bike you go down before you hit something.

Please don't tell me you think a semi-stock quad is going to out run a CR250. I mean come on man, there has to be something you have picked up along the years if you are telling the truth about riding for so long.

Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that there are more people riding quads that have no experience on any type of ORV, and also, how many parents let a quad be their babysitter, with no protective gear on the kids at all? Seems from all of my personal experience the quad riders go without helmets flying down the trails (oh and much faster than the dirtbike/streetbike/mx bike/superbike and even unicycles since they haven't been metioned yet)

yep, it takes almost no skill at all to hop a quad and fart around, but once you try to ride it hard your skill level will need to be higher than if you were on a bike!! People get hurt for just this reason, they think a quad is easy to ride so they wont need protective gear, where on a bike it onlyhas 2 wheels so they think it will be hard to ride so they gear up and take it easy untill they learn what they are doing.

It depends on the environment, TT bikes are only good for what they were made for.Find me in the dunes of a set of paddles and you will find your TT 18 bike lengths behind me... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
