Considering I didn't get anything for my wife onher birthday she asked if we could go "look" at quads today. I thought okay, once she sees the price she'll forget about it....Wrong! We ended up buying two:

CalEpic · 06-08-2008, 03:26 PM

Mike, Mike, Mike. You should have called me first.

Oh well, you'll have fun with them.

Pain Freak · 06-08-2008, 03:31 PM

I thought about you, but the wife just wouldn't give me the time...she was right, if I walked out of there I wouldn't buy one period.

MTBMaven · 06-08-2008, 03:56 PM

Damn those look fun! Two wheel would be even more fun.

granny ring · 06-08-2008, 04:27 PM

The wife's has way more suspension than yours. She must rip.

CPATCRASH · 06-08-2008, 04:35 PM

Nice, but I would rather have two wheels. I want a bike that is street legal but 80% dirt worthy and 20% street. Wish the Yamaha WR 450F was street legal!

PacMan · 06-08-2008, 05:28 PM

Mike--Have fun, be safe and don't end up in the ER like I did.

That looks way more street than dirt! I kinda like the Honda XR 650 too. The Yamaha 250 isn't bad but kinda small for me.

Pain Freak · 06-08-2008, 05:41 PM

My wife likes the Polaris, but I like the yammy.

No reverse, but who wants to go backwards, I've already been there?

It's real easy to get the front end up on the yamaha and just riding in the cul de sac it's way faster off the line. The Polaris has an automatic tranny and it was used, but both my son and wife like it more.

Pain Freak · 06-11-2008, 06:36 AM

My next road bike will cost more then what I paid for both of these.

Somethings wrong with this???

mtnkitty · 06-11-2008, 10:24 AM

Those look so kick ass.. I know what I want for Christmas!

Where did you buy them?

ghixon · 06-11-2008, 10:31 AM

Nice new toys Mike. Now you can go clear the San Sevaine ST for us!

bajamtnbkr · 06-11-2008, 10:33 AM

Mike, I believed you lived fairly far away from civilization, but I didn't know you and your wife owned a ranch or farm. Congratulations on getting some new farm equipment. Are you going to accessorize them with gun racks, winches, hitches, and camo covers?

Have fun, be safe, and if this is your first piece of farm equipment, you and your wife should take a training class.
