Actually thats not true... As long as you ride an ATV its all good, but if you happen to ride a dirt bike well then yeah your pretty much a sissy! (Oh moto... again that was a joke!)

Anything that us sissy dirtbike riders can do to help out you quad guys with low self asteem is our pleasure! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Mywifesquad... hey I got an idea why dont you go find an ATV like one of the 450's that will really challenge you, then you can probably get rid of all of your 2 wheeled cycles. No wonder you own all of those bikes... you haven't found a real challenge yet... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Thanks any way but my wife rides the only quad in my house. I used to think quads were for girls before coming here. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I personally prefer dirt bikes, Ive been riding them for about 35 years now and got to expert level off road racing(enduros) about 20 years ago or so. I cant imagine trying to take a quad on the trails that I like. And personally I think quads are much more dangerous than dirt bikes are. The main thing is the perception of safety you get with a quad. The dirt bike looks dangerous and is. The quad looks safe and really isnt as safe at higher speeds IMO. I

 

Yeah when I was in the military in Ga I use to ran a couple hair scrambles with my KDX and I thought it was fun, but in comparison I also had a 85 quadracer which was like riding a dump truck on the track. It literally had like 3-5" of front travel. And the motor was way to powerful for chassis. But as technology has finally caught back up with ATV's in the last I would say 5 years I have really enjoyed moving from 250r's to some of the newer ATV's. And since I love riding dunes primarily or any soft sand, dirtbikes have a real hard time staying upright in that stuff. I also grew up in Florida beach sand which is primarily another reason why I dont' care to much about riding dirt bikes these days. I can't count how many times I have seen dirt bike riders wash out in corners trying to ride through orange groves in central Fl. So where I grew up ATV's and buggies, jeeps have always pretty much ruled! I will say this though... in Ga, the terrain is hard packed clay where in the past it was always nice to have the extra travel on the dirt bikes, however ATV's are actually starting to push out the same travel numbers in stock form.

 

I never owned a KDX 200 but did like riding them in the woods. I assumed you had a 200.

I will admit that sand is probubly the toughest thing to ride a dirt bike on. It can be done by good riders though. It definitely takes more energy to ride a dirt bike in sand and talent is sort of necessary too. Not to tough to ride a quad in sand, even if it doesnt have paddles. Dirt bikes are much more fun with paddles.

Obviouslly these riders were of a inferior riding skill level. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
