OK, OK, I saw this on another forum (you know which one mudbob icon_censored ). Everyone can participate, basically you interview the person that will post next by asking them a question. However, before you do that you must of course answer the question from the person that posted right before you. I will start it off...

Do you ride your quad like you own it or stole it?

1st consideration is a manufacture of the highest quality.

What would you be intending to use your machine for? Recreation or Utility?

Do you like the fast wide open trails, or slower technical stuff?

With the Rhino, I prefer fast, wide open trails. When riding an ATV, I prefer slower technical stuff.

How many ATVs have you owned?

I've owned around 20 ATVs.

Has the high gas prices slowed your riding down or do you think it will in the future?

It will if anything limit camping/quad trips. Possibly on the upside the wifes trips to the mall my be curbed as well.

If your battery went dead...Who would you like to see show up for help? Energizer Bunny or Playboy Bunny?

I prefer to ride a bit bullish. I like to just plow through whatever is in front of me.

What do you think sets your favorite atv apart from the rest?

The worst damage I ever did to my machine was on our latest ride. We had covered our quads for the 300 some mile trip from Wasilla AK to Fairbanks........

Well the straps broke and we were making a midnight run up. We stopped after about an hour to check straps etc...and the cover had come loose and basically took my just recently modified 800 Outlander and sandpapered EVERYTHING....racks, my custom bumper, wrecked the handlebar ends, instrument panel......etc. In all about 1K worth of damage Neutral


So what do you believe is the single most important public perception of ATV'ers that needs to be highlighted to show the positive side of the sport?

great question!

i think the single most important thing from atv'ing is getting out in nature, and seeing how beautiful our respective towns, cities, and countries are. atv'ing is not about going out and destroying our fragile wet lands, clear cutting out forests, destroying habitats for animals. its about going out into nature and getting to see the sites! the vast landscapes across canada, america and beyond. without atv's i know i wouldnt be able to go into the wilderness and see what i have seen from the seat of an atv!

why do u think a lot of atv riders are getting a bad reputation from the public?
