      I have never had any regard for my own personal safety...I would ride that MFer every day...its legal here in Arizona...that would be so freaking awesome!

        Assuming it goes that fast with out any drama, no problem, sounds like fun.
        It's like anything built to go fast, if it's set up correctly it does what it does without scaring you.
        NOW, if its bouncing, swaying, twitching, or shaking about, No thanks.

          I wonder what the speed rating is on quad tires? And no, nor would I have been sitting there beside the road casually videoing those two going by.

              Well, if speed's what it's about, there's a kitchen potload of speed for not a grand fortune, it seems.

                I went and looked, I don't see quickly where ECTA has an obvious category for quads. It's not a motorcycle, but it's sure not a car or a truck.

                At that...That's a pretty impressive land speed record right there in that video, in a pretty short distance, a drag race.

                For somebody mighty ballsy and fearless.

                  Guys, hear me, though I may be babbling, Joe and Keith and the Powers That Be have long created categories for speed vehicles that didn't fit. Like electric motorcycles.

                  One of my favorites was the something-like 50 c.c. classic motorcycle that was in line near me and Red.

                  Seriously, somebody get that insane fast quad and run it at The Mile. It would be sort of leveled out and droning on after the first quarter mile, maybe. If the quad tires will hold together and if it'll pass inspection.

                    first thing I thought of: bearings, and tires.



                    I'd buy it, just to have. I grew up when a 250cc quad was the king.

                    my first 110mph was a twin kawasaki, and that gained a wobble.
