Default ATV's

Anyone ride or race ATV’s (Quads, Four-Wheelers)? I have a 2004 Honda TRX450R that I race XC with. For those of you that don’t know what XC means, it is basically a 2 hour non-stop hare scramble thru the woods, mud, creeks, rocks, whatever! It’s definitely a challenge and somewhat mental game trying to push yourself for that long.

I've got a Polaris Predator 500. I don't race, so I wasn't locked into the 450cc requirement. The Pred lugs my fat *** around pretty good. I'm not as young as I used to be, so I've got a fairly good grip on the mortality thing, plus I just don't like pain, so I ride fairly conservatively. Except in the dunes. The dunes are a blast, and I do tend to get carried away in them.

Yamaha 660R Raptor is my other ride. Too old and worn out to do any racing on it, but sure enjoy zipping around the sand dunes like SoCalRoadGlide.
ISDRA, like a roller coaster that you control.....
