    NICE

    I have an ATV that I never ride :cry: It's going to waste...
    Thinking about selling it for a small boat or canoe. Then I take the lady fishin, or I can fish if she wants to take her kayak.

    buddy of mine has one around here, cant really use it for the sand, so we put mud tires on it and get dirty in the sticks.

    I love anything with a motor and wheels. theyre fun to play with. I personally would take a nice quad over that, its just more useful here in florida. But i wish i had one of them too lol.

    The previous owner and I had been trying to work a deal for over a year. Then he mentioned he was about to go buy a 4wheeler. I had a 2008 foreman with power steering and 4WD that had 10 hours on it and like 20 miles on it. All the bells and whistles so we finally found a deal that worked. Even swap and he did a couple of the mods labor for me. (rebuilt the carb and modified the seat so it sat lower for me)

    I LOVE this thing. Since it's street legal, all I have to do is crank it and drive it rather than loading it on a trailer, taking it 45 minutes away, unloading using for 3 hours, driving home, clean up and 5 hours of work to use it for 3 hours... It's ready to use in minutes and put away as fast as a daily driver.

    The orginal setup was a sand monster. We used to ramp dunes at 70+mph getting all kinds of air!

    Don't forget this is completely street legal. So it's very useful in florida.

    Looks like a blast! That would never pass for street legal in the gestapo run state of California. We get pulled over for no mud flaps on our trucks. I live by Pismo Dunes so we get a lot of rails coming in on big weekends. I live about a mile from the entrance to the dunes and cops would be all over me like white on rice if I tried to drive that to the dunes, I would have to trailer it, and then pay for the truck, and buggy to get on the dunes. You're lucky.

    Well, we don't have any dunes like ya'll do!! If I could go to that picture or Pismo I would probably have sand tires back on it and wouldn't have bothered making it street legal!!

    So far the cops have all been real cool about it. I have had one come tell me a story about when he was a kid his dad had one. But no one has given me any flack. I even took it out to the bars one night lol. (Didn't drink though)

    Sweet ride! I have jeep setup for offroading and when on trails we run across those buggy's from time to time.. There are a couple guys around here that can do amazing things in those buggy's.. They have climbed hills I would consider climbing in the jeep and what even more funny is when they go places that 4 wheelers cant make it.. They look crazy fun!
