Default Atv riding and crawling

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kS-pjv0l1A

I know this isnt a scaler or a rc but its my other hobby and I wanted to share it (i hope its ok) the vid is made with a gopro camera wich would be great for scalers by the way. The vid is of me on my 08 750 Bruteforce for the first half and about 4 mins in i switch to the 2010 750 Bruteforce which is my dads and its just crawling (not the best quality) but let me know what u guys think and if any of u ride atvs.

Liked the vid, just pains me to see a fellow rc'r riding without a skid lid. Seen too many folks with cracked open noggins in my time I guess.

Love my Brute Force too! Hook your crawler on the rack and stop at the good remote rock outcroppings that you find.

Thanks for the feed back guys and I usually wear a helment but the spot that the video is is actually my driveway but yea I agree helments are smart and can help u in a wreck and should be wore more often

+1 with the helmets...

I ride ATV's too...( Honda Faithful for Life )...used to race ATV motocross with a Honda Fourtrax 250R in Wisconsin and Illinois districts 16 & 17. Now we just trail ride.

My last quad was a 400ex..but our current rides are a 300ex and a 250ex.

aint no way id touch another kawasaki after all the trouble with our mule, bayou, and kawasaki motor in our mower. all 3 have been back to the dealership multiple times, you dont want the list of repair and part replacement list.

and we still have a 1988 Honda fourtrax 250 that still runs great! and has never been back to the dealership once and al our kawaskis are 2004 and newer. 08 Honda cbr600rr and 750 shadow have only been back to the dealer for the break in oil change, never been touched after that.

ok i will give you that Kawasaki's do require more matiance because i to have a trx250ex thats been used and abused and never seen a dealership but i still love kawasaki think of it like this honda = tamiya cc01 kawasaki = axial scx10
kawasaki is like the cadilac of atvs however hondas are are like timex watches they just keep on ticking

I am looking to add a brute force to my stable to hang out with my grizz

I have a buddy who has been through more vehicles because of his dumb shit and not maintaining vehicles plus the abuse he puts rigs through is the testament to the build quality...only the brute force has lasted. He has 5600 miles and still going strong. Not even a belt swap...lol

now i ride my hard and did do a belt swap at 2000 miles and it didnt look wore at all but if u compare it to a new belt the old on was stretched about a 1/8 of inch and u might as well save up for two brutes cause once u ride on ull trade that grizz in for another and if u want u can post some pics of ur griz up id really like to see it
