I forgot about this.

I went quad biking on Saturday. They were these big fat 250cc things that you had to stand up on.

They go about 50-60Mph but I only went about 30mph across the field.

They were really powerful, I nearly tipped it doing a sharp corner and nearly fell off backwards after acellerating too harshly.

We then went on this muddy track where we got caked in mud and because it was so muddy I skidded sideways into a tree.

So basically, I got muddy and tired because they were a sod to turn.

Good day though.

If not a little too muddy.

yeah two of my mates had them, 250 racing efforts. my mate tried doing doughnuts on a car park and wheelied it by accident. really hurt his back. I had to laugh, I saw it coming a mile off.

those things get unstable at high speed, you'd think having 4 wheels they'd be almost like a car, but once you're doing 60 the back end is all over the place.

would like one myself, but
A) they're about a grand
and
B) I ain't paying some gimp 5 quid just to drive it on his muddy field.

wouldn't mind having a go on a proper 250 motocross bike, i reckon they'd be more fun

Believe me, these are powerful!

If you floor it, well, push the thumb accellerator as far as it goes then you'll get thrown off the back of the bike!

The Quad Bike I was dragged by when doing kneeboarding on grass, where I nearly buggered myself up, was only 50cc.

*Wants to do it on 250cc*

I used to love quad biking. Had one a couple years back.
I used it everyday riding up and down this one road SO fast. Swallowed a few flies too..


Until one day I tried getting up a hill and it toppled over with me underneath. Bent my back bad :(

Still love em though. Got stolen though..

i went quad biking in france. was like a cross country track and i came off at one of the last bends. It wasn't banked and i was going toooo fast. Shot straight over it and skidded for about 5 metres on this gravel road on the other side then stopped and bike fell over. The instructer was more worried bout that bilke than me though. God i had some impressive scrapes after that. Was damn good fun though :D
