When im out alone I usually adjust my ride for safety, i dont get into anything over my head lol , some afternoons i just want to cruise the trail  ill go,slow enjoy the ride , but you are right about being alone , very easy to make a mistake ad regret it.  Be safe. Airborne 

Welcome to the group, great group of very knowledgeable guys here 

Airborne 

Well said Frank , Happy new year 

Good point, and funny you just posted this ... honestly lol , i just came in from garage , parked quad after going for a blast through the woods , opened a beer and walked into house .. its cold out here in upstate new york , wife is making a nice meal for us because we dont go out on “ Amature night “ , fireplace going , a nice old movie on and i looked over at wife and said  “ lets go out for a blast tonight , , mind you we live in the woods , unpaved roads , 4 wheel drive in winter , she looks at me and said i dont think so.  We have already started drinking , youve had a few jamisons , / w a few beers already , its 4:00 , and we will not be safe ripping through the woods at night , ...mind you a took a damn branch on face. This afternoon caught in helmit lol.  Have a cute little “ red mark.  Lol ........ i wear my helmit , but should of had my goggles ......    anyway long story short.  You are no doubt correct buddy , my as* is home in front of fireplace on this cold  night , quads are staying parked ...Happy new year guys

Hey temper welcome , im fairly new here as well , i have to say this site has so much more to offer then just grab service manual, the guys are cool , theres a ton of info and great fellowship , fun place to shoot the sh** with guys with same interest.

Hopefully this spring we will,all be able to meet up ,ride eats and a few cold ones , im in upstate new york great places to ride , what do you have for quads ?  

Hey. Guys , wondering what you use to lift quad to do maintenance? , small jack , lifts ...looking around not seeing much 

I know this is an older post but felt like contributing, yesterday my son and i were on our property hauling out down trees , figured taking advantage of frozen ground would make the dragging easier, we ended up putting 9 hours in 

just hooking choke chains to logs and pulling out , it was fun did some great work , exercise, played with the quads a bit and had fun.  

Sounds great..... round up everyone and have a great day 

That sounds like fun. A day of riding together , and get to know everyone 

My property and nearby powerline trails

Took the quads out today, decided wife ,son and i needed a break between house guests, lol party yesterday, and the next two days as well so we went out ridding a bit today , it was brisk but refreshing , came home had a few drinks by the fireplace , nice day , suppose to get some snow tomorrow? I dont think it will be much though ..   Airborne 

Hope everyone has a great holiday, be safe, eat a lot drink plenty and enjoy , 

i dont know many here still , im new but hopefully this upcoming. Year i will get to know more. 

Enjoy.   Airborne 😊👍🏻

Just subscribed, 👍🏻

So true ....weve all been there , you get excited to jump into a project , tunes going , everything layed out , cold beer or a cup,of coffee , then boom ..missing parts. ...ugh but yes you are right they were helpful,in getting the parts sent right out so im happy for that 

Ugh.....well trailer update , finally layed all parts out , noticed somthing wasnt right , parts missing nd missing hardware  

started assembling and got to axle spindles , one fit, the other spindle was wrong , misssing multiple washers as well , i was pissed ,  was excited to put together and couldn’t finish, called the company this am , they were very.  Helpful , overnighting parts , ill hope i get the proper parts.   ....ill update soon. 

Ill get some pics up , been busy , actually layed out all parts tonight , also took delivery this afternoon af wifes and my new machines,  hold up for two weeks for plow parts , ill be busy next few days lol ....

No i dont , left the area in 1984

You are so right , i have met a few CEO, s of major companys, just doing the same thing we all are doing .

Those rivers are world famous, its funny once we are all in our sport doing our thing , weather with a helmet on our head, or some other gear we all look alike lol .

Graduated from washingtonville, Highschool, lived off of “ clove road near Mtn lodge , live in Hyde park now. 

Deer tail, hair is great material , i go through a lot of turkey and pheasant feathers as well, 

love fishing in roscoe , the Beaverkill is my favorite,been fishing there since i was 18 , lol about 35 years ago lol....i avoid it on weekends though , its just to crowded 

Not much of a hunter anymore  after getting out of the service i sort of look at things differently, i have plenty of arms for home defense but hunting just looks different for me .  Few years back i started fly fishing and i became obsessed lol , my wife bought me a fly tying kit and it became my obsession, love tying flys , i have a room dedicated tomthis sole purpose , i fish rivers only , usually in the Roscoe ,ny area as well as the esopus river , if anybody doesnt tie their own flys and would like some for spring let me know , ill probably tie up a few hundred over the next few cold months over the winter. 

Well picked up my new trailer tonight , tractor supply called me said its in , came in a box   It was about 150 pounds , big box , fit into the 4 runner like a glove lol , ill start assembling it over the next few nights , no rush , ive seen a few videos on assembly,its pretty straightforward, question i thought of was nobody used “ lock tight “ im kind of considering it ?  

What do you guys think ? 

Funny i grew up in this area being written about , in the 70,ies 80,ies everyone rode , i had my Big red “ ATC lol.   Loved it , nobody complained we all respected private land , where the issue grew huge was the people moving up to “ The Country “ lol migrating from NYC ... this brought people with money , they bought kids bikes as if they were babysitters 

all hell broke loose and kids rode all,over neighborhoods like they were mad max .... whereas we stuck to the powerlines and the old spots lol .... fast forward to 2018 , that area is a huge housing development the woods are gone ...

 i choose to be in the rural woods in dutchess county 

I also live in the Hudson valley, as of now i have my property, 31 wooded acres and also power line trails nearby , im waiting for hunting season to end , i dont want a taillight full of buckshot lol
