One video of riding my ATV while on vacation

That rattling sound isn't in the original video. YouTube messed it up, same with the height/width ratio.

Nice ride...

What kind of quad make and cc’s is the question, does look like fun though. Don’t have my quad registered currently so I can’t take it to state parks or off the property, I use it mostly for snow clearing.

It's a 1996 Honda Foreman. It's 400 cc. It is heavy and has tons of torque.

It's kept in my garage when not being used and in excellent condition.

There’s a snake on the brush guard.

Nice! I need to see what I recorded on my Gopro up in Colorado this past weekend. They did a software update and changed some things around with the iPhone software, and I don't think I hit "record" when I thought I had.

Got a Suzuki king quad 750 I think 2010, a little too fast honestly gets wobbly when I rip it full throttle down the road over 60mph is when it gets wonky. Love Hondas though still got a sport one too, I never ride, 1986 250r, can’t ride that off private property too had it a long time before people cared about having titles, so I can’t register it here now.

You get right down to it anything over 35 mph on an ATV is wonky because of the short wheelbase and big tires. My newer ATV that my grandson is riding has a lot bigger engine but I keep it below 35mph as well.

If you have ever had a 4 wheeler

on top of you, as I have, you might

understand why I have a 250...

A riding lawn mower is not any funner.

I have had my Polaris 450 HO up to 45mph, on the paved road. Lots of rpms left. Those quads can go a lot faster than that...but the steering becomes waaaaaaay to responsive on a vehicle designed for off road use. 45+ began to make me not have fun. Too much focus required. I prefer to ride in the dirt. My putt has no trouble at all pulling the front wheels off, once it comes on the pipe. And that's enough grunt for me. Instant fuel injected throttle response.

I see lots of guys ZOOMING by on quads, on the road in front of my home. Way faster than 45mph. I also see the quads that are set up for MX, buzzing around. Fast.

Looks like fun

Did you do any jumps?

The Honda Foreman was designed to be a bullet proof ATV for rough trails and ranch/farming work. Some in Utah have 30K miles of mountain trails on them and still run & drive.

But they were not designed with a suspension that would accommodate jumps.
