Unless you want to kill yourself - don't.

I love my bike, but will not get on a quad - nothing will break your ankles or your neck quicker.

Rather buy a trackday superbike - very fast and way safer than a quad. I've seen newish model ZX6's and CBR600 trackbikes for around R30k.

And before I get complaints about how that's possible - if you know anybody who has been in a quad accident you will know what I'm on about.

Well, we have 3 quad bikes!

Raptor 660 - bored out to a 700cc. Actually build for road use! Nice for drifting in town! Actually have tyres for the road!

LTZ 400 - Nice learner quad bike! But not there for performance! Fast when you never quad biked before, but still ripped a new asshole for the Banshee's

Ltr 450 - Chipped with a performance exhaust! Fu*& me! That thing is strong! Scares the shit out of me! Fell with it 4 weeks ago and Im still sore! But I did roll it on a motorcross track! Did a jump, was about 3 meters in the air when the quad started turning side ways in the air! Tire pressures wasnt equal, I forgot to check the pressure! Threw me off and rolled over me!

Nice experience, but I wont try that again soon!

Things with quads bikes. You have to be carefull with the right gear!

Nerve bars with netting is a must! Othewise you will break you ankles! And get proper boots! They cost around R1500 but its will save you ankle!

Motorcross pants and shirt and gloves! A must! You will have scuff marks for weeks if you dont! Decent helmet and goggles and the most important is a neckbrace!

Also safe up for a kill switch! Cause those quad bikes dont stop while the motor is running!

OH, and piece of advice, when you fall of a quad bike, roll, kick or jump as far from the quad bike! Cause it will drive or roll over you! That is way quads are so dangerous!

I get about 90km/h on the 450. Imagine falling and it rolling over you at that speed! The secret is in the safety equipment!

My 2cents!

@Jon : Thats the one.

Um....VC....what does FTW stand for again....?


Got a guy with a white sx.....offerd him 25k, will phone me on the weekend....lets see...

As for the E30 with the 2jz twin turbo, it seems it was a project and the guy ran out of steem or something

For The Win
