one more thing joe .. your link to your web page doesn,t work ..

 

how about the cheap bolts that yamaha uses they alway strip and brake

 

Haven't seen any 4x4 on the tracks around here but yeah, that would annoy me too. Actually there is one 4x4 that I've seen that I really don't like... The EMT Mule. It's never good when they have to get out on the track.

 

-loosing the masterlink to your chain or the clip
-finding out that you are all out of premix oil on a SUNDAY
-fouling a plug and you dont have any new ones
-you have every size wrench, but the one for that particular bolt/nut.
-breaking your shift lever off on the trails and you dont have vise grips or anything
-your grips somehow get wet under neath and give you "twist throttel"
-loosing 1 bolt on the trail, and your entire quad feels as though every bolt has just fallen out
-finding that particular bolt in a hardware store, cause you dont want to buy a yamaha replacement, but end up buying yamaha cause no one has that bolt.
-calling the dealer and asking if they have a part, say they do,you think about it twice but decide they must be right, after a long ride, you go there and ask for that part, and they say they have to order it!
-riders that stay right on your *** (and you roost them bigtime) or riders that stop all of a sudden in the middle of the trail (you hit them, or almost clip a tree as you turn into the woods)
-friends that never have rides, and somehow you fit 2 quads in the back of your pickup
-and i think everyone has this, take the quad to the trails far away in a truck, to find out your quad is not running right, when it just was running good at your house
- and what happened to me once, your pickup truck is stuck in a deep mud hole, and your quad is in the back, but does not run! this happened to me, my quad didnt run. so i loaded it up (pissed off) and said whynot use the truck to go offroading. i attemped a big mudhole and got burried for hours, with the quad in the bed.
-showing your quad to your friends or family, and that day it just doesnt want to start or run! all my time and money into it and im proud of it, and i wanna show everyone, and it just will not run! and your dad finally wants to take it for a ride and it will not run.

 

My Battery cable comes loose, my mom is mean,
the cat Annoys me, my clutch is going, my trans is
going, one tire keeps going flat, use`s to much gas,
the shocks are to stiff, I lost my job, my wife
is being stingy, And For sure 4x4`s on the track!
I have no money, or teeth. I`m losing my hair,
i`m getting fat, PPL who have fav brands, all the posers,
whiners, and pretty much every thing freaks me out at this time,
(JUST RIDE YOUR LIFE COULD SUCK AS BAD AS MINE)

 

this just happened tonight...when the f*&%$#& police bust a u-turn as i was turning into my driveway and almost pull into the carport with me and give me sh!% about seeing my license and calling it in.......... only because i forgot to turn my freakin' headlights on after i left the gas station two blocks earlier. shining his mag light all in my car. i'm thinking "no guns here. they're all two houses down with the crack dealer" i just drove 35 miles home from work after 12 hrs. i'm in no mood for crap. then while we're standing there he tell's me to take my hands from my pockets. that was the end of my "good citizen" mood. i told him..."it's 25 freakin' degrees, i'm 5 steps from my front door, i've had a long day, and you are at my house now."(note: it's o.k. to say these things if you've actually done nothing wrong. and you've got surveilance cameras to record the insuing baton beating. for lawsuit purposes.)for anyone who wants to reply by saying: you'll be glad to see them when something happens. i also asked him where he was at when my house was broken into and then when my car stereo was stolen. i know that they are not super heroes or anything but i live a block from the police station. it looks like daylight 24-7 because of the street lights. my house is less than 40 ft. from the main street in town. where they constantly "patrol". when the did show up all he asked was if i had insurance. because i'd never see my tools or stereo again. hell yeah i've got insurance. the law requires it. anyway, tonight he apolagized. then started asking me was i any kin to so and so. welcome to mississippi.

 

This isn't about quads but your right MISSISSIPPI, it's even a pain to type. I wish I lived in Cali.

 

Ward660R, you said that you were having problems with your dealer in getting your starter fixed earlier. It wouldn't happen to be Laurel Yamaha would it?? If so, it will not be the last time. I would suggest you find another dealer if it is.

Pet Peeves are:
-Dropping a little part/tool & you hear it land in the atv somewhere & you spend more time looking for it than you do fixing the bike.
-Getting the axle alignment notches to line up when adjusting the chain.
-Having your gogggles fog up to the point where you can't see as your climbing a monster hill.
-Having to wear a dust mask when riding in real dusty conditions & it keeps fogging up your goggles.
-Being blinded by the sun as you begin climbing a monster hill.
-Climbing a monster hill that used to scare you to death is becoming routine.
-Not enough legal places to ride w/out having to pay.
-Paying to ride at a legal place only to find out it sucks!
-Owning a 2001 Raptor & worrying about if/when the tranny will go.
-Watching new models come out & knowing that eventually they're going to replace the Raptor on the cover of DirtWheels etc.
-Reading about new technology that is better/faster/stronger/cheaper than the the aftermarket stuff you just paid mucho $$ to upgrade your atv with.
