Nothing too painful, but scared the hell out of me!
you muppet! nice quad though, ive always preferred messing about on 4x4/farm quads that the racers, there is nothing quite like a four wheel roost as your drift around a corner!
glad your ok

also i remember many situations where i nearly ended up like this when we first got them with digital speedo's, it was too tempting to look down at how fast you were going round the corner instead of looking ahead!
Sneaky the way that ditch just jumped out at you :D
Yea that ditch was a bitch !
and the dirt, looked like it hurt! :lol:

I used to fall off my quad quite a bit as well.
This is a bit harder to "fall off " but it still hurts when you roll it :o
This is some of the off road fleet the rest are broken down or stuck in various locations around the estate. Don't you just hate it when you have to do the long walk back and then get something else stuck trying to tow the first one out !!!
don't own a BMW then! :lol: 8)

The engine is a Honda Helix 250cc or more likely a Chinese copy of a Helix. The buggys are pretty well put together and the engines have electric start and a centrifugal clutch. They have been faultless over the last five years.
I bought them for the kids after they grew out of their Suzuki LT50 Quads.
The mini quads are pretty safe but the bigger ones can be a bit dangerous and easy to flip over as jmorris has demonstrated :D :D
The buggys have the benefit of a full harness and a rollcage.
Although they are for the kids they can take my ample size no problem and still reach around 40mph. Not much suspension travel with me on board though. :oops:

I like a bit of variety, pretend you can't see the RR.
Nice set up - (including the RR) :)
Thanks, I have actualy got a few more but I think I have hijacked your thread enough.
We never seem to get enough of cars on this forum :lol: lovely collection
Buggys are great for the sand too...

My buggys are no where near as fast as that one, I liked the wheelies !!
