Description:
This summer is the first summer I have owned my own quad. I bought my first one in Feb 06. In only 6 months I have owned 5. I started by buying a 98 Foreman 450es for $2300. I soon found out it need a rod bearing. I was really bumbed out. But luckily found an older guy who wanted a foreman. He traded me a 99 400 ex that was all piped and jetted. He planned on rebuilding the foreman. I rode the 400 around for a short time and realized I wanted a 4x4 so I could enjoy riding with my young son on the back. So i found a guy who wanted to trade.lol. Some reason he traded me a 2004 yamaha Bruin 350 camo 4wd. it was mint shape. why he wanted to trade a almost $4000 machine for a 2000 one im still not sure of. Anyway, the bruin was fun, but not really big enough to haul my son and I around in comfort. it was just too small. Knowing no one is gonna trade a lard 4wd for my small one i searched for someone wanting to trade for a large engine sport quad. so withing a short time a guy in the next town over contacted me about a trade. I traded the Bruin for a 2003 Predator 500cc. It had tons of professional work done. more than i have time or space to list. Basically the thing flew. the trouble was getting traction. It smoked every single machine it faced.So with the hopes of another 4wd in my sights (now that i had a decent machine to trade) i set my sights on either an 01 Sportsman or the Kawasiki Prarie. Well, withing a few short weeks someone contacted me about a trade. 2 days ago we traded and Im not the proud owner of a 2002 prarie 650 with 26 inch mudlites.
