I don't have my own quad yet, just a dirt bike that is in pieces right now. I would definitely get a 4X4 and not a sport quad. I ride my buddies sport and it is ok unless the trails are a little muddy. Then YOU are real muddy also. That can be fun but you don't always want to be dirty.

Kinda yeah, kinda no, the good is I made like 3 grand in my pocket from the one day of work. I definately charged more for working on a holiday, and it was an "emergency" call to get the job done too, so the price goes up a bit more then.

I'll end up with both I'm sure. 4x4s are more functional & useful, but just like dirt bike's - an XR is fun but a CR/CRF is just raucous!!! I've ridden both and especially since I'll get a better deal on the sport one, I'll start there.

Transformers 2 is out on DVD today, and you KNOW I'm getting a copy ASAP!!!

Yep. They are all fun. Just depends on what kind of riding you do the most is one or the other makes sense. I won't be able to afford both so I will probably go for the 4X4 myself. A friend has a Yamaha Rhino UTV. Those things are pretty cool also.

not sure really... just saw it as i passed by the local dealership on my way home... looks kinda like a cross between a 91 suzuki sidekick and a john deer gator... but instead of an open bed its got a very short like a panel van box on the back but its about the side of a dump bed on an atv... and the things low to the ground... i dont think the things really much longer than a geo metro.. and probably same size tires too..

Thanks for the well wishes. I am starting to feel better.

Brendan, IMO a 350cc quad is not enough quad for you....my aunt as a 350 cc utility quad, can't remember what they call it, anyhow, that thing is seriously underpowered and slow! I think you'll want at least 450cc.

Ive honestly never heard of it before, we have never used explosives on our farm, and my dad is a scaredy cat so he doesnt tell me about highly dangeous stuff, hell he doesnt even let me shoot a .22 around the farm. im sure I will look that stuff up when I get home since the school wouldn't like me searching how to make explosives.
