Guys i am just venting but feel free to add whatever pet peeves you have here..here are a couple of mine

when your 9.000 dollar bike sits tto long and it has 3 flats after spending alot of Cash on all new rims
when it becomes a nice stand for your box of christmas lights and outside lawn fixtures
whne you have to clean it in cold wheather
working on it with a rachet in cold wheather and all of a sudden your hand slips off the rachet
working on it with a rachet in cold wheather and all of a sudden your hand slips off the rachet ..and then the bolt snaps!!
Keeping the rust from forming on your axle
changing the damn Bearings in the rear housing
that stupid plastic thingy that hangs off when your riding where you put the key in
Taking the whole bike apart to just so you can jet your bike the right way
JETTING in general..we need Fuel injection people!! change the map and thats it!!

thats really all i can think of now...LOLOL

How about when you don't have the time or the money to take a couple of months off and travel around the U.S. from dunes to dunes with your family an best buds and have nothing to worry about. Thats my pet-peeve. Or maybe thats my Fantasy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img].

Well my pet peeve isn't about any ATV or vehicle. Mine is people that constantly down other quads and try to keep stating over and over again that a certain quad is superior. My opinion is a quad is only as good as the person riding it. And as for the problems the Raptor has had in the earlier versions, so what no quad is ever perfect its first year. Remember the 400EX even had it's problems pop up every now and then. And I am pretty sure that Suzuki's Z400 will have it's fair share of problems. Lastly even Cannondale had problems and they openly admitted it and fixed the problems. So I guess what I am saying is ride what you want and enjoy it.

The biggest pet peeve....hmmm....well, this one is simple because without a place to ride, there is no need for an ATV. LAND CLOSURES and enviro rhetoric spewing from the mouths of a bunch of whining ..........you get the point. They are closing desert faster than you can blink out here !
