No, it is true! Even worse: If you install the engine reverse kit and accidentally only kick-start it halfway one cylinder will run forward while the other runs in reverse!

Great song!

UPDATE It has nothing to do with the lead! Need proof? Do you see anyone concerned about the cyclists or equestrians getting lead poisoning from their use of the area? No. They just want to get rid of the ATV riders. Why? There are groups like the Sierra Club who seek to characterize all ATV riders as a bunch of careless Hell-raising fools. For the last 30 years on almost any Saturday you can find parents spending quality time with their children riding ATVs at the park. That totally wrecks their agenda. Here are some more relevant links on how we can help this cause: A more local newspaper's version of these events is below. http://www.dailyjournalonline.com/articles...3b330914259.txt Official effort by locals and ATV riders to save the park... http://www.savestjoestatepark.com/ Opinion and commentary from the Midwest Trail Riders Association... http://ridemtra.com/Newsletters/MTRANewsle...URGENTStJoe.htm

Article from very anti-ATV St. Louis newspaper Official State Park Web Site The latest EPA-direct information I could find

I traded my 'Shee for a waverunner a while back. I miss trail riding, but I do not miss 11-12 hours to get there. It sounds like this might be worth the trip though. I am going to get a utility quad sometime in the future. Yeah, I know. Old and slow, but after breaking my back in four places on a Banshee I am not ashamed. I'll probably get those Mat-Track things on it because it looks cool (probably limits function as much as it helps). Then I'll be ready for that mud hole you mentioned... :biggrin: (If you do not know what the track I am talking about are CLICK HERE)

A few years back I came off my 'Shee mid-fifth gear into the face of a trailside cliff. Ejected so fast my tight velcro'ed riding glove (front brake side) stayed with the bike. Broke my back in four places. Took over a year to recover. Still scared to ride a 4 wheeler fast. Doctor swears the chest protector saved my life. Helmet was almost destroyed and the chest protector literally in a couple dozen pieces afterward. Some of the chest protectors are supposed to be single impact. Like helmets - if you've had a bad wreck get a new one. The chest protector saved my life because I would have impaled my heart on a rock protrusion from the cliff face otherwise.

Ditto what Loco said. Especially if there is any current or you cannot see the bottom.

Damn it! I am always late for this kind of stuff. Looks like Photobucket or whatever declared it offensive.

Okay. I stand corrected. Damn! That is some good driving. I guess that one Sheriff John Burnell or whatever will never show that video. I am not against the police at all, but I just get tired of hearing him brag when it takes 5 cops with radios, spike strips and a helicopter to "out drive" one drunk with no special training. It is all about how he narrates the story as if it were a fair contest.

Been watching these police pursuit shows on Court TV and I want to know... How come *NOBODY* can defeat that "pit" maneuver police do on the TV shows to catch getaway cars? I wonder if they just never show the ones where the police get "beat" because I've never seen someone just "get away" and I imagine that happens sometimes.

California labor law is known to favor employees and having an advocate is always good, but... DO YOU REALLY WANT TO WORK IN A PLACE LIKE THAT?!?! I would not and they'll be looking to reprise as soon as possible after reinstatement. Yes, reprisal is usually illegal, but that's why God made legal loopholes. Good luck proving that case. Consider yourself better off. Economy is good. I have faith in you. Get out there and show'em you're better than they are! :thumbsup:

Well, if this is their web site the home page title is "Chinese Food, Wok-Cooked and Served Fast". Secondly, is their link to this article from USA Today on their "about Panda" page. It is presented in-line with the description of their company. So we agree Panda endorses this article about their organization, right? The title of the article is "Fast-food dynasty grows..." Then keep reading below the picture... I too think you are going to have a hell of a time collecting on the bet.

Visit a couple of local dealerships for ATV sales literature. Search Lexus Nexus for court documents in the various cases against Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki which resulted in a voluntary moratorium on performance ATVs approximately 15 years ago. Yamaha persisted. You'll probably find something in the prosecution's arguments to support Yamaha's relentless commitment to customers who desired a sport machine. You may also discover why Yamaha was able to survive. Did they just persist or was there a lower accident rate on their machines? Why? By the same token, you could point out Yamaha has about a decade more experience as it continued making sport quads all through the 1990s. Albeit a clearer case for (the lack of) competition spuring innovation never exhisted. Kelly Blue Book. Compare new values against retail and trade-in values. Money talks. See which manufacturer has the most depreciation when all other factors are the same. The difference between retail and trade-in is supposed to reflect the "cost" a dealer incurs to prepare and sale the machine. Thusly a significant difference in one manufacturer's Retail / Trade-In value might suggest difficulty in reselling that manufacturer's product. I'll wait for your reply to suggest more options.

Around here people go to REI for that sort of thing. It is like a Wal-Mart for outdoor activities. Clicky

Is the HQ formatted for mobile devices now? Only a few sites are formatted for the little screens. Yes, I know some sites can be read with the second browser or whatever. It just isn't always easy. Compare USA Today to Fox News to see what I mean.

I would just enjoy watching a race like that. Anyone know if they have like that around here? There is a Hare Scramble series here, but they pussy out on most mud and rough stuff. It is good for the 2WD sport bikes though. The dirt bikes usually run the same course the next day and you know those would not do well in all that mud.

All people amaze me. I bet they'll get a tax deduction out of it too...

Check with a licensed attorney in your area. I doubt putting it in your name will do much. It may still be considered a gift. Ask anyone who has financed an engagement ring and tried to get it back when the relationship goes bad. Now then back to the original topic. You asked what quad and all the amateur lawyers on here are writing you a prenup... :yelrotflmao: I say give it some time. Ensure her new found ATV fancy is not a reaction that will fade soon after spending over $6K on a quad which depreciates faster than you can sign the check. If some time has passed and she still has the urge then go grab an an 'EX or a Raptor. My personal opinion is the YFZ450 and 450R are too race-ready for a first quad and/or someone with just a few hours experience. All of those bikes will pull 110lbs around fast enough to kill her if she isn't careful.

What is an antique firearm? They are exempt.

That does look very annoying! I think I would get very upset with the paparazzi if I were just trying to get gasoline around there. And I even like cameras and photography! How many freakin' photos of the poor woman sitting in her car do you need?!?! And everyone who read this forum a few months ago knows there isn't any hair elsewhere on her body. :biggrin:

The concept has substance. Suzuki is bringing back the Quadracer as a four-poke. If it were true they'd be in showrooms right now. The 'Shee's days have been numbered for quite a while. There is no excuse for having a "resting year". Why would it take them all of 2007 to release the new four-poke version? Doesn't add up. The term Banshee is associated with a death scream in Irish Folklore. If anyone has ever heard a four-poke scream - record it. You'll make a fortune.

Welcome Dave! I thought Lee changed his alias on here? It is something starting with a 'C' now.

Supervised riding on a small and/or appropriately performance-restricted machine would be fine. My mom used to get upset just knowing dad took me riding in the woods. I think you have to do some rough/crazy/stupid "boy things" together that mom doesn't like (and maybe doesn't know about) or it just isn't fun. I think it is called cutting the apron strings. An overly protective parent can damage a child too. If it were me/mine I would look at the Suzuki LT80 because it has some "growing room features". Search around here. There was someone asking this question a while back and it got at least as much feedback.

Ouch... I thought Honda stuck it out until 1991 like Suzuki. It looks like they stopped making them in 1989 according to Kelly Blue Book. Sad part is... I remember those days and I could swear they made them for those last couple years.
