Well, after seeing this, I now have my quad road legal. Too bad it is only for county roads though. I can't go inside any incorporated places and I can't get on US highways or Interstates. So basically I can only ride around the country side at a speed that is safe (that is exactly what the ordinance states). It's not the same as a motorcycle though. The more I ride the quad on the road, the more I want a motard bike.

Ive been Tarding to work all week and today I took the Seca so the gas doesnt dry up in the carbs . Ugh what a pig . LOL
At least the seat dosent feel like a 2x4. That reminds me I need to order some soft seat foam. I bet Mcmaster carr sells some good stuff.

Sargent does a spectacular job of reupholstoring, typically for less than $100 with their Gel Cell Foam.....

To bad Corbin seats do not have one for a dale. They are very comfortable..

Believe it or not Sargent has a much better reputation than Corbin, with more attention to detail and a well known custom shop. They duplicated a seat for a restoration completely and perfecty for $100..... Corbins are nice, but the Sargents always impress me more, especially when you sit on them...

Never even heard of them. My dad has been riding for years and swears by them and after I bought one for mine bike they are just nice.

This funny it seems like everytime you talk (type) about your bike you have a grin ear-to-ear. i can almost feel your excitement when you post something...lol from your previous posts it looks like your trying to learn how to "back it in" to a corner. Its very cool seeing the pro supermoto guys on the asphalt and from what im told it takes a good amount of practice time to learn how to do it correctly. You may not be interested but you could take a SM class...do a search im sure there has got to be someone around you who does them. id love to get my hands on one of these bike eventually...have fun!

Nahhhhh, I could never sell the RC.

They are kind of like my St Anthonies quad when it first broke 55hp. Once I was there I couldnt go back. Its a kind of experience where you can do things very few others can do. Jumping loading docks, curbs,driving up a set of stairs and getting air off the top ,railing corners with your feet out is something you cant do on a regular bike. I told Tim the other day if he ever rode mine he would be converting his over the next day. I live a half mile from work and it takes me 15 minutes to get home because I hit the local park and hills just to get the rush. LOL Plus the looks you get from people are just like with the quads. What is that ? A cannonwhat? Sitting at stop signs listening to the sewing machine grind away is pretty wierd too.
It is true about the smiles . Every one who rides it has one.
