She and I have had a heck of a ride and I really do hate to see her go but I have a lot of family members that would like for me to have my quad back to do some riding. Myself included. Sooo, I just don't know if it is even worth trying to jack with my quad now. Fact is it prolly needs 750 to 1000 dollars in parts to really get everything fixed up on it that has been used up over the years. ... Atv Riding!

However that didn't stop me from breaking something on it. Backing up a hill in 4x4 that was fairly steep cause we decided to take a break before starting this new trail and SNAP!
