Lowered it ready for a drag meeting at the unused local airport.
Phoned to register, only to be told that ANDRA, (the body that controls drags here) that quads will not be accpted as they were not safe due to complex steering geometry problems.
What a load of crap!
Quads have a very bad reputation for killing people here, due to using them for the wrong reasons.
People abuse them, trying to do with them, what they are not designed to do.
To race quads in my state one has to be 16 yrs old, yet one can compete on a motorcycle at the age of 7yrs.
I have to drive interstate, so that my 15yr old lad can race MX, a drive of 4 hours.
So later on I will raise the bike back up so it can be ridden on our property, which brings up another sore point.
There is mention that it will soon be compulsory to fit rollbars to any ATV used on private property.
You already need a permit to ride across the road to your property on the other side, it is also illegal to ride on the grass verge on the side of the road.
I am pi***d off, maybe its time to move to the US.
Thats got that off my chest, I feel better now.
