DJLime, Welcome to the BEST ATV COMMUNITY ON THE WEB!!

OK, let me know. Thanks for keeping us all informed!

"She Rides" Forum was taken down due to lack of use and the fact that Fox300exchic who was the moderator and wanted that forum, no longer takes part in the community. I've spoken to her via e-mail and she just did not feel she could be active here anymore. There are plenty of female riders here at QuadCRAZY, just browse here: http://www.quadcrazy.com/browse/ We can bring it back if we get enough requests....

I think that was the only post about helmets. This is a great topic because so many people do not wear helmets and I'm to be blamed also on ocassion. I ride a utility so "putting" around the trails I'm not going crazy and feel pretty safe. If the riding gets a bit faster or rougher, I'm wearing a helmet. Riding fast in the snow or open field, I'm wearing a helmet. I good buddy of mine was "putting" around with me a year ago where we had to go through a creek to get to the other side of the trail. Going through the creek wasn't bad but you had to come up and then make a sharp right slightly up a hill to come around the bend, to get back on the trail. It's a bit of a pain in the as* but do-able for an experienced rider. This is the only way across the creek at this spot. So my buddy was in front of me and attempted the climb and turn when coming out of the creaak. On the right turn, the quad rolled on him, pushed him over, down some rocks and the quad almost hit him. He hit is head on a rock. He, luckily is the type of guy who wears his helmet. We now look back and think...you can be going real slow and still have an accident. I think it's very important to wear some sort of head protection.

They are both excellent quads but if comparing both of them, I would go with the 400ex for the 50 more CC.

Again, great pics! What is that last pic of? Those were all wild horses?

Well said.

I'll second that!!! Great photos!

Much appreciated and once again, glad to have you! So, any suggestions from other forums you take part in?

What do you think will be new in the ATV world for 2009? Post what you think will be added by manufacturers, dropped, improvements, line up changes, etc. This will be the prediction thread. We'll look back in a little over a year to see who was right.... So, what do you think will be added for 2009?
