Hi everyone, great site.

Postby gtilby » Tue Sep 13, 2005 5:22 am

I must say, looking at all the pics on your site makes me want to get out and ride. I am in Boise Idaho, there are a lot of good trails up here but haven't seen anything like the Rubicon yet, I am still looking. Keep posting pics, I love it.
I can't believe I sold my vintage VW Bus to get a quad, but my Sportsman 700 does have about the same top end speed. :)

Hi there.

I worked in Boise (So did Dusty) 2 years ago. All I could think while looking up at the mountains.....MUST BE KILLER TRAILS!

That's cool, I have some friends at work that ride quads all the time, they took me on one of their rides and I was hooked. I have ridden 4 wheelers before but never in a group over terrain like we do now, it is a lot more fun. Thanks for the site, keep up the good work.

Hello everyone. I really enjoyed looking through this site. I'm in Roseville and liked the fact that most members seem to be local (Norhtern CA). My wife and I are always looking for new places to ride. We are beginners and are trying to gain some experience. I wanted 4 wheel drive quads so we have the opportunity to play in the snow also. We chose the Kawasaki Brute Force 650 and 750. I realize that most here like the Polaris, so go ahead and heckle. I can take it.

LOL....Nah....you avoided Honda. You get some brownie points.


If you're a beginner, then I don't suggest many of the trails we ride on...they're a bitch.

However, the Downieville and Bear Valley are trails and for the most part...pretty easy and nice views.
