Quoted:
some folks think putting a roll bar in a car makes it safer than a normal car, it is after all what race cars do. folks dont realize that rollbars can create dangerous situations in and of themselves, like having your head slammed into one at x g force. in a situation like that you want restraints and a helmet. the bar simply keeps you from being a pancake underneath the vehicle if it rolls. its very misleading to assume thats all you need. 3 wheelers were popular for a while till a number of roll overs injured folks and they quit making them. would not be surprised to see this type of 4-wheeler go the same way.

I think of this quote every time I ride my bike. Nothing like hitting triple digits within a matter of seconds on a bike. I bet flying a fighter Jet is quite the experience as well. |

RZR 900's around these parts go for 13kish brand new...but most guys get the XP 1000 as our trails allow 64" Atv's. You would be nuts not to insure one of these, my 8k atv is insured. I know if it get's smashed by a tree, by nature or by me it will be paid for. ATV's are getting very quick these days, my 570 will go easily 60+(we can ride them on the roads here). There is a definite trend towards SXS's with a full cages over ATV's and it is one that that is probably the best thing for trail riders.
Big fun with more protection....i have gotten tossed an ATV once i was being an asshole doing donuts at 19 and i caught a gravel patch so the atv slid over on its side, tossed me off and scraped some plastic and some of me but other then that all was fine...lesson learned it could have been much worse. But Trail rigs having harnesses and cages is probably one of the best things for this sports especially in the recreation side of SXS's |
