Do you use an ATV safety (whip pole style) flag?

Just wanted to get an idea of who uses a flag on their atv.

Please post the following information:

Where, what state?

Is it required where you ride?

What style flag are you using? (picture if possible)

Where did you buy the flag, and how much was it?

Would you use a QUADCRAZY flag if we sold them?

Please vote in the poll attached to this thread.

Thanks!

I don't use them always but they are on my ride every time we hit the dunes. I use just the basic orange flag, I bought it for about 15 bucks I think. I got it from our local bike shop. YES, if you guys come out with a whip flag with our logo on it, I will take at least 2. Maybe a 3rd for the wall.

I don't think you guys will sell enough to have them mass produced or anything but see if you guys could have 25 or something made 1st. Then if they don't all sell you're not sitting on hundreds of them. But I will take some.

I don't always use a flag due to riding private property sometimes but when riding any public area it is required. I mainly ride in Missouri and my current flag is just the standard penant shaped orange flag. I think I gave about 12 bucks for it. I agree with sbot, I would get a few at first to see how they sell. I know I'd take two if they come available. I think they may be a great way to spread the quad crazy word! Oh almost forgot, I bought my current flag at the local atv dealership.

Yes, all 4 of our quads have flags on them... We are in California and they are required on the dunes... I like them in the desert just so I can spot our kids! LOL There are pictures in my gallery of the quads with the flags. And yes, I would buy quad crazy flags if they existed! Oh, and edited to add I think my DH got them at our local shop, but I don't know how much they were.

I am the same with the 3 above me. Bought mine, a plain orange one for about 10-15 at the dealership when I bought my quad. Here in SoCal, they're only required in the open riding areas, mainly glamis and Pismo, and other areas where there are dunes. Not required on the trails around here though. And mine's installed on my main pic taken at Sand Lake, OR.

Yes I do use a flag.I live/usually ride in Indiana and sometimes Illinois.The public area I go to most(Badlands in Attica In) requires it.I just leave it on when I ride on private lands;I figure it helps reduce accidents.It's a standard style plain orange flag I got from the dealer.I also have another flag I got from either RM or Motosport;I think they were between 15-20 bucks.I'd get a QC flag if it was available.I'll try to get some pics up one of these days;I'm not real computer friendly(or is my computer not people friendly?:skeptic:)I voted...

I have gone through 2 flags in 2 years. The first one I left it on while doing some trails in the mountains and it snapped. My other one, my quad mysteriously started doing cartwheels after I landed flat from about 15ft up. I found a freak drop off. Didn't have time to react and pull the front up. Landed flat and you can imagine what happened next. Lets just say it ended my day and got me a new helmet. That was last Memorial Day.

      In search of the backwoods nudist campsites and ready to select the right ATV.
      By mehim
      Hi everyone. 
      Let me explain the thread title. 
      My husband and I are very active in the nudist community, and we have stayed at many and most of the mainstream nudist and clothing optional campgrounds in the USA. We are now approaching our retirement and would like to start a podcast to share those off the road / backwoods / little known camping areas where nudity is allowed. We have purchased a 5th wheel camping trailer with a rear garage for the ATV and now need some good reports on the one to buy. 
      We are most interested in a side by side unit but would love to get your thoughts. 
      Feel free to stop by and say Hi and ask anything you would like to better understand what we are looking for in an offroad unit. 
      Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.

      Anyone use Niche parts?
      By Charlesbrown
      I’m looking for a top end kit for a Yamaha. I would like to see how well the engine runs before spending $6-$7 hundred on oem. Niche has complete kits from $1-$2 hundred.  Anyone have experience with Niche or similar Chinese companies?

      How did you get into Quads?
      By Mikey69
      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.
