I know of several people who have had there bike's impounded and or BIG fines for riding places ive rode all my life...   its a hard decision whether to spend that kind of money or not.. so many Yanks moving down building right in the middle of traills we have rode all our lives and calling the law every chance they get! riding your atv has seem to become more of a crime than selling or buying drugs now a days...  anyway cant seem to make up my mind  Wacko

When you get back to camp from a nice ride and you smell the food cooking on the grill as your getting an ice cold beer from the cooler and sit down in your lawn chair and start talking to your family and friends about what happened on the ride and then realize the only thing you have to worry about any time soon is turning the burgers over, getting another beer and  topping off the gas  for another ride you should ask yourself again.  "IS IT WORTH IT?" I know for me with the stress from work and keeping a household functioning this is perfect therapy. Family quality time,food, fun and relaxation. It doesn't get any better than that does it?

As long as it's a Honda, only quad fast enough to outrun them.

If I'm lucky I get to ride my quad once a month. I think it's worth it.

its really  NOT worth it enless you have places to ride close by. I'd recommend getting waverunners because there are tons more legal spots for those.

Hey Joe, you going to L-Cross for the next event? "The NEW ATV MUD BOG STRIPS WILL BE READY FOR THIS EVENT" we could put your Vinson or Grizzly in there against my Rincon.
