    Oh no, brothers I have sinned

    Bought my first new quad...but hear me out.
    With the new land/ property the wife, mother in law/ other various people need something to ride. They can't use my 84 BR, they can't use the Argo and can't handle much less use the 86 250r. The quad had to be awd/4wd and auto, have reverse and be comfortable to sit on/ be handled by novice. The utility quads, even small ones felt huge and not nimble. I am used to the narrow saddle of a trike, these things were like straddling a Buick. Wife and others were just not comfortable. Granted I still may get a utility quad someday but it wasn't the right fit. Finally I wanted something that I wouldn't hate to play with either. This seemed to fit all the needs. 2012 Polaris scrambler 500. Should have it by the weekend. It is no trike but should be fun

    I feel ya when you say a full size quad is like "straddling a Buick". I think you made a great choice! Make sure to let us know how you like it once it's back at home base

    I insist we provide you with the proper punishment and be stoned to death by a group of 3 wheelers
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country
