  1. also anyone have a cure for painful shoulders? I cant lift my arms above my head. Was it the rain? Aleve nor tylenol aint workin
  2. It was nasty at RAC this Sunday with heavy rain. I had a great time. Wasnt too thrilled about the local people riding there (not the nicest ) but would like to thank the guy on the dirtbike for stopping and offering his help. The dusty trails where now covered in a slimey mess which made for great slides! Me and the quad where COVERED in slimey coal gook but alas before I loaded up the quad, I made a few full throttle blasts through some puddles. All clean. The I drove to Wallys and changed/washed up in the bathroom nice and easy. I did about 4 hours of riding but didnt venture too far into the trails as it was only me and I have no reverse. Im thinking I need a Can Am 800mr instead of a sport quad now though.
  3. Ill give it a shot. Thanks for your help guys! I would hate to drive 3 1/2 hours for nothing.
  4. I just received my access pass to RAC and got the parcel locator with tax id#s. How the hell do you find trails with that??. Also the yellow access permit. Does that get carried with me or is that the one that goes in the tow vehicle. There is nothing in the package that says "parking permit": aargh: I would like to go out there this sunday. Anyone have a GPS location or directions for where I could park? Anyone going to be there this weekend?
  5. Is there a specific section or thread where ohv riders can say that they want to meet up on a certain day or certain area? Im not talking about general discussion What I mean is someone posts that they are going to the trails of no return and other riders say ok we will join you sort of like rsvping to a party?
  6. a 99 Dodge Ram 250 cargo van. Bought a couple of tri-fold ramps. No need for all that trailer nonsense. Only problem is you can't drive up the ramps or else you will get scalped No pics yet
  7. Try finding public land on Long Island, NY. Only a couple of MX tracks and im not paying $1000 - $1300 a year to ride on them. What does NY do with my and the thousands of other ATV registration money it collects?? NY sucks
  8. The red tab unlocks the helmet from the foam section. its behind the chin strap. Sounds innocent right? Its for when an EMT has to remove your helmet but doesnt want to move your neck after an accident. Trouble is its one time use only then you have to replace it.
  9. Anyone going to RAC in a few weeks?
  10. OK so even before I start my quad, I was tooling around with my nice shiny Fox V1 helmet. I found out that your not supposed to pull out the little red emergency tab. I went back to the dealer very red faced and explained to them what happened. They were going to swap out my helmet for a new one to make things quick and easy but the didn't have any more in stock. So now I have a new helmet a HJC CL-X6 Frenzy. I like the fit of this helmet better. This helmet doesnt have the red quick release tab but that might be a good thing in my case/ Lesson learned.
  11. Im just waiting for my access pass to RAC in PA. All my riding equipment is now purchased. I have a tow vehicle. My insurance is set too! I can hardly contain myself. My first time riding a quad with a clutch and over 200cc !!
  12. Found a helmet at a different dealer. its a Fox V1 and is DOT and Snell rated. He also knocked off $20 because I had a problem with this other dealer and he said he gets alot of their customers due to poor customer service!
  13. I was reading an article about how the dot testing is better than snell because the snell tests make manufacturers design hemets that are too rigid. The dot test tells manufaturers to design a more flexible outer shell. In theroy the softer shell absorbs some of the decelration that occurs in a crash. This was the article in a nutshell minus the technical sh**. I know im looking into this more than i should but i dont want to end up dying because i picked the wrong helmet
  14. Are there any Quadcrazy.com vinyl stickers or something for my truck?
  15. I repair heavy aerial and underground equipment like cable placers, digger derricks, Champion rodders plus other crap for utility companies (Verizon, Con Edison etc.) and it leaves me no time for anything I am the president, CEO, lawyer, accountant, gopher, mechanic, welder, truck driver, engineer and laborer
  16. Your quad looks meaner than mine!
  17. I'll trade quads if you trade me your dirt track
  18. Yeah cant say say the 4R100 is a strong tranny though. Im on my 3rd and now 1-2 shifts are getting harsh again. Time for #4 Haha put 700r4 instead of 4R100 woops. Head was stuck in my chevy days
  19. I have a 99 F450 with a 7.3L Diesel. I have over 205,000k on it and weighs in at 11,600lbs. It still pulls hard too!
  20. I was checking out helmets today and I was talking to the salesman today. He stated that DOT helmets are better quality than Snell rated because Snell is a private company. He could of been no more than 25 yo. He also couldnt answer my tech questions about helmets. But was trying to sell me helmets with "BITCHIN BRO" graphics on em. Doing my own research confused me even more What is the real world difference between the two ratings and does it matter on the trails? is a $400 dollar DOT helmet better than a $150 Snell rated helmet? What are the brands you guys/gals use and why? Where is a good place to buy them? Easiness to return them? Why are my above sentences getting shorter with each question? Thanks Everyone
  21. I refuse to wait till Jan till i can ride. I havent rode a quad in 4 years and i cant wait any longer sent via Samsung Galaxy S 4G on T- Mobile Americas largest 4G network
