huffhuff Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I was thinking of one of these for a couple of permissions I have. I can't always drive the shogun around...so one of these little chappies with some slight modifications might just do the trick. It will also be great to use up the track that leads directly from pub to my house! Good for getting through tight spaces, airly quiet and will fit in the back of the car Anybody else use one? Or am I being a bit mental? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoTshoT-16 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 i have got a raced up version, with polini carbs and racing filters etc and its NOT quiet by a long shot!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoTsHoT-10 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Dont bother mate they are RUBBISH! I would highly recommmend a suzuki lt80 as they are brilliant. A friend of mine drove mine into a ditch and was floating around, got it out drained the water from the clutch and air system and started first time also light and quiet. Keep there value well bought mine for £365 and sold it for £550 three years later Make sure you buy a well known brand as it is easier to find spare parts.

Buckleboy Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Louis i'm still waiting to use your racing quad up the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-250 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I doubt they would pull bloke off road especially the cheap 1's get a water cooled polini at around 1500 but then u might aswell buy a full size. Get a pit bike much more suited to gentle off road riding. Parts can be found mainly anywhere and new engines for either are cheap on the bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi Huffhuff, get in touch with Joe (Black Gun), he has a very nice quad which he modified for shooting; He has camo bags on there for carrying bits and also slots to take hide poles where you can set up your net around the quad itself and shoot from it, a mobile hide if you like. He did say he was thinking of selling it but having such a bad memory I can't remember if he has or not Cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say he was thinking of selling it but having such a bad memory I can't remember if he has or not Cos I've saw (or not) his camo'd wheelchair at the Charity Shoot. I can imagine what his fully pimped up quad looks like. But alas, I doubt very much I could afford it. Maybe i'll drop him a PM - just in case!

Billy. Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Could go halves with you if you get something decent, like a Honda Utility quad, road legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Essex Hunter Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I was thinking of one of these for a couple of permissions I have.

Or am I being a bit mental? I have a 100cc one; I have made a removable tray to clip on the front forks, using a meat tray from a game dealer. With the set-a-side around here, the farms are quite twitchy with the 4x4 tracks on it. This little quad fits in the van, and saves a ton of leg work, I was buzzing down a headland parallel with the road and a squad car slowed up to match my speed, the window went down and the copper was laughing and shaking his head! I paid £200 for mine, not used all the time but it is a good tool when I need it. TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) You need the Quad to keep up with Joe's Off road eletric wheel chair (which you can see in the back ground), which is also camo'd up, and built by Joe. Quality vehicles the both of them. Edited August 20, 2011 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy518 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) On the off chance anyone is after a Quad my Honda trx 420 fm 4x4 is up for sale very soon. 2008 with low hours / km. Would be looking for about £3500. Also the Transit van that I carry it around in is also going to be sold.
