Oops, I certainly didn't mean to imply that you were an a**-hole. Heck, I don't even know you. I think you know that I just meant to say that any sport can be tarnished by a few irresponsible members. In my area "kids" ride with what sound like open pipes in a "No riding" posted areas, and I get painted with the same brush because I ride.
And I certainly don't want to change your opinion about quads.
Around here there's so much open land and trails that you rarely meet another bike (let alone a quad).
