The main problem I have is finding someone to ride with. Most of my quad riding friends have gone back to bikes and sold their quads. I still love my 300HP and ride it as often as I can find someone to ride with. I have a friend who still has his Honda TRX450R and we ride occasionally. Now, we are going to The Ridge next weekend to ride and I'm taking my 300HP as well as my 300 bike, but he is waffeling on taking his quad and only wants to take his bike. The main complaint they have is with their suspension. Most don't want to spring for the $1100 or so dollars to make their quads not destroy their backs. Our Olins take that care of that problem.
One of my friends made fun of the money I spent on my Gas Gas when I bought it. He said he could buy a Yamaha much cheaper. My answer was "so can I". We rode in Colorado a couple of years ago and he bitched the whole time that his suspension was killing his back. He came home and sold the Yamaha. My Gas Gas was loving those rocks and so was I!
How about it??? I love riding the rough terrain at the coal strippings and leaving the faster quads in the dust...
