Normally I would not condone such a practice. But I think I can let it slide this once.

He can probably pick up more girls that you can.

lol

the thing he needs is a yamaha badger/moto 4.

the seat is big enough to ride four people his age. then he'd be a downright playa pimp.

He has a Zinger that he rides like a pro. It is bad enough he ride doubles, I really do not want him to think it is okay on a gas powered ATV. He will just have to pile them into his Power Weels Bigfoot instead.

ya know, I've never seen the problem with riding doubles when both people know how to ride.

We used to ride 70s doubles all the time when we were little...as long as both people lean it doesn't seem too be any differnt. just have to be aware of the added weight.

Me and the new girl will likely ride doubles on the 350x...at least until I can teach her to ride the 200x.

I have seen some really stupid things happen when there are two people on an ATV designed for one. If we were on the trails and he tried that with his Zinger I would scold him for it. On a Power Wheels with a real pretty little girl it is cute. On the trails it is dangerous.

Yeah I am against doubles. My friend did it with one of his buddies on a 200sx about 5 years back and it ended badly. Unless it has 2 seats.. I wouldnt trust it.

I get tired of seeing these drunk asswipes riding around with a beer in one hand, a grip in the other, and some dumb ass chic hanging on the back.

At least in this case the operator was not drunk, he had both hands on the handle bars, and the chic on the back is obviously very smart. You can tell becuase she is hanging out with my boy.

I have been on my uncles 200 Big Red riding triples when I was about eight. There was my uncle driving, me, and by brother who was about 11-14 years old. From what I remember we were not going to fast. The only thing that bad happened was when my uncle let my brother drive.

I honestly can remember riding triples on an atc 70 at times when little...when only one bike is running everyone wants to ride, you do what you have to.

The worst I have ever seen was riding 5 people on a trx300 honda. granted we never went above 10-15 mph...but yeah.

I think in the hands of a capable rider who doesn't push the limits and casually rides along, it's not that big of a deal. It's when people try to show off that things gets out of control

You can't say no when a cute girl wants a ride :naughty: My wife used to ride on the back of my quad when we were first dating only if we were going for an easy cruise. If I was going to be a daredevil or attempt a stupid maneuver I would have her hop off and watch me so I could have a witness. :cool:

I still put around the yard with my son and sometimes my wife did it on the smooth ans easy trails. In first geat and barely idling is one thing. But hauling ass and giving the CSP fuel is something I am strongly against.
