How did you get into Quads?

[tmcginn]

We road quads on a friends farm for years before I finally broke down and bought my own.  Wish I had done it sooner.

[jmoney777]

My older brother wanted to get one... here I am!

[Herring]

Bought some land, lots of trees so I got myself an ATV..

[Grizz700]

We needed something get around our property on and we were looking for more of a utility type than sport so we settled on a Yamaha Grizzly 700. 

I've used it to haul my chainsaws/oil/gas, plow the driveway, skid logs, search for neighbors lost dogs, get the mail as our mailbox is about 1 mile from our house, rescue the riding mower from being stuck in a ditch,...and the list goes on.

buddies in high school use to ride 400ex and I used to want one so bad. Remember calling my buddies dad and asking him if he would cosign on one with me since my parents had no credit. Lol

I grew up on a farm so bikes have been a part my life since day dot. I recently brought a big bear 400 4x4 which is min for taking through the national parks. The 4x4 is definetly worth it there's to many time that instead of getting off the bike to get it unstuck I could just wack it into 4x4 and lock the diff and off she goes!

always had them growing up, sold my honda years ago.  just recently moved out into the country and decided to get a new one.  and here i am!

Hunting makes having an ATV so helpful

[fiantoys4]

interesting information

[Ulfthednar]

Ive been wanting one for awhile now.

Finally just said the hell with it, I aint getting younger and I'm pretty sure Im going to ride it to death.

Just like my motorcycles.

so far, Its kinda like my Harley, except built for the woods . . .

When I was dating my Wife in 2018 she introduced me to Quads and the Wisconsin trails.  As she had grown up with 3 and 4 wheelers.  I have always been a street bike guy.

Ended up hooked on Her and Quads.

My buddy is an over the road truck driver and left me his to use on my new farm.  Found my Suzuki from a friend and am really liking it so far.

Grandpa taught me to ride as a squirt, when he passed I kept his bike going for many years and had many fond memories. LT125s are in fact indestructible.

I found a pretty cheap Quad that needed some work online so I bought it as a "hobby". I got it running and really enjoy working on it. I've bought another ATV now and I enjoy it so much I think I spend more time on it than I do in my car! 

[BenJammin]

I bought a 2011 and needed it for plowing.  The guy I bought it from gets a new one every 3 years. This one had low miles.  I sold it and bough a Kawasaki Mule, but now place to put it for the winter, so I sold it.  Then  I bought a 2003 Honda Foremen 500 and wouldn't shift so I replace the shift motor and it works great.

1st girl friends brother had a Honda dirt bike and a three wheeler.  I'd sure like to have one of those three-wheelers.  Then the Air Force got me hooked on Polaris quads and snow mobiles. 

[hurnyak]

A friend gave me a Quadmaster 500

[CRAZYKIWI]

Yes they are good

[Gwbarm]

Three wheelers are developing a big fan base, they were good machines, they are selling for more now than they did when they were new.

[Jim Denton]

I was to old and broke up for the dirtsters but wanted to play on the trails. 

[hurnyak]

I remember back in the 70's my friend had a Tri-Sport. It was so much fun riding it.

[rgeiser]

I love street bikes. now you say what? I started working at the kawi dealer ship. found myself working on more off road than anything else. after working there 6years decided to open my own shop. and once again working on more off road. living outside of town it's so much fun to drive other people's stuff around. now the sport bike just sits there looking pretty.

[Ulfthednar]

Im kinda similar. Mind ya'll I plan on leaving my shovelhead to my kids or grandkids. Not gonna stop riding. But this ATV thing? Everything I used to love about being a biker, but without all the a'holios on the pavement. Cagers and street bikers alike.

can't go anywhere on my harley without some poseurs SOA wanna be biker or crotch rocket crawler being a douche torpedo. Never mind the cagers crawling up my exhaust til I flash em whats riding on my belt.

I just want to Ride. to be out there . .  

I love riding, always have. I can spend days lost on a bike, never being lost.

My ATV kinda brings the best of both back into play.

I got into ATV riding after a friend introduced me to the sport. I was initially hesitant, but after trying it out, I was hooked. The excitement of navigating through challenging terrain and the freedom of exploring the great outdoors on a powerful machine was addictive. I soon found myself investing in my own ATV and spending every free moment out on the trails. ATV riding has since become a passion of mine and a staple in my recreation and leisure time.

[Acme54321]

Had friends that had them.  Always wanted one and ended up with one after a friend gave it to me.  The best kind is the free kind.

[Gwbarm]

I have always had motorcycles, wanted ATV to move my boat around the yard and do work, haling dirt logs ETC, I needed something stronger than my John Deere lawn tractor, they are a blast to ride, but be careful they are addictive I now have three.

[UpstateMatthews]

I got into quads because I started working on lawnmowers and wanted to expand my knowledge.

[vwhobo]

We (me and my wife) got into quads 15 years ago when we purchased our big acreage and decided they were the best way to move horse feed, drag cut down trees, check fences, etc.  The fact that they're fun to ride is just a bonus... 

[optionizerSS]

New guy here. I rode dirt bikes starting at about 6 years old up until 13. Dads best friend was killed on his street bike in 1981 and my dad sold his bikes so I quit riding too. Step-father bought a brand new 2013 Suzuki King Quad 500 and rode it around his yard 99% of the time and plowed their driveway. He passed away this past August so my mother gave me his quad. Has 1067 miles on it and is in very good condition. I'm new to ATV's so will have a bunch of questions. I'm 54 and plan to do some trail riding. Lower speed, no mudding, etc. Nice calm riding

[Gwbarm]

You will enjoy it lots of fun ahead.
