x2, I got a honda 175 quad for my 6th xmas and my little brother got a little 70. My parents used to pack us a lunch, the .22 and some fishing poles and my brother and I would go cruise the pasture all day. We had a few hundred acres in missouri. Tons of fun. Never got seriously injured, well, some frogs and rabbits maybe, but no people Lots of frog legs...hmmmmmm. Yummy.
