Quad for Girlfriend
After transversing 10 countries in Africa on the back of my GS my girlfriend has decided that she wants to do the next half of the trip on her own bike. The kicker is she doesnt want to do it on a motorcycle out of fear of falling off and getting hurt. So we came up with the idea that a Quad would be perfect for her.
I started looking into quads and there arent any street legal/modified quads made. I did find a company that makes radial street tires for quads at $100 a tire it seemed like a pretty good deal.
Other modifications I would have to make are 1)lights/blinkers 2) gas tank 3) brakes (disc brakes might be the best option)
I am thinking of a 2 wheel drive version just to keep it simple, less possible parts to break and also saves allot of wieght over the 4wd versions.
Honda will probably be the manufacturer I go with, Old Red always seem the most reliable.
I will probably step down to a 250 or 400 cc motorcycle for myself so we can travel about the same speed. On the GS or even a KTM Adv it would be too easy to pick up speed and leave her behind.
So if anybody has any advice or know of anyone who has done long distance on a quad please let me know.
