I still love going fast, but when I do, i think a bike is the way to do er!
my brother had a 2 stroke Yamaha...I wanna say it was a YZ450. He of course had it tuned to run at elevation and that thing was just downright scary. We were up riding once and his boss wanted to ride it...went through a puddle, wheelie, flew off the bike and hit a rock and broke 3 ribs that day.

My dads Grizzly 660 would run at 65-70MPH if you could find open road enough to get it up to speed. It would also wheelie on its own in soft gravel if you weren't careful.

I like my Kodiak. Its light and easy to slide around corners more like a sport quad, but it'll go through just about anything. I've had it up to the handlebars in snow!

When you're young, you're not happy unless you're going mach 2 with your hair on fire (anyone remember that quote, and which movie it came from? ). As we age, we begin to appreciate the finer things. Like fire-side lunches in the woods...

Pete you have a damn good point about the price of quads! They arent cheap for the nice big decked out ones. They sure are handy though. My dad has a couple of 300 suzuki king quads, and they use them for all sorts of stuff on their farm.

"When you get older you slow down. Blablabla"

This coming from a bunch of people who have DP Tuners in their trucks. And what is the sole purpose of a DP? Make the truck go faster.

I really should be writing a biography of Shakespeare right now, but writing about some gay British dude seems so much less interesting than being on FTE.

"When Shakespeare was born the Black Plague killed 1/7 people in his town."

Why the hell couldn't it have killed him....

Why lock the door???? It isn't the falling that hurts....It's the sudden stop at the end.

The DP actually does some useful stuff,give more towing power,make trans work better and makes driving in hill country less aggrevating

It has been great Sheldon. It is the same physical size as the 700. It's automatic with electronic 4x4. There is a manual lever that you pull and it locks in all 4 wheels instead of limited slip. My daughter loves to drive it, and she's only 9!!

Here's Jaymi-Lyn on her quad





Here is her on mine

5 bucks?! Wow, we didnt have the hybrid deal but a true "hobby" as I call them. Told my bud Mitch Id give him 100 if he could eat the whole thing and not have any liquid for 30 minutes...
5 mins later he upchucked and spent 15 minutes under the faucet...
I knew they were hot when I smelt it and my nose felt like it was on fire...not to mention not washing hands and touching my eye...its like I maced myself!

But your fireside lunch idea sounds better, Sheldon!

Some of you may remember that pic of my buddy Jay on the powerwheels with the viking helmet on? Well, that day, he told me to try one. He knows I like spicy things. He DID NOT however tell me what it was...I was the butt of a terrible joke. This was early in the morning, and I wasnt feeling great anyways, so I ate it, all of it, at once. About 10-15 seconds later, I could hardly breathe, tears pouring out of my eyes, then puked, then puked somemore, drank a gallon of gatorade, then found a cooler with beer, drank a six pack, then sat in my truck for about 20 and wished I was dead....Absolutley horrible and mean....I got him back though next time we went out tubing, and had our tube wars... I sailed throught the air and kicked him good in aunt betty's nut butter.....Were even now...
