Discussion
Don't really know why but today I have taken an interest in this
Tell me why I should or shouldn't get one.

I am aware that I will look like a raving chav but I'm s
t scared of proper bikes so this seems like a nice bit of middle ground.

A road legal quad? You'll die. No seriously, they're THAT fking dangerous. You'd be far safer getting a bike. Quads have stability issues when on dirt, with the added traction of sticky tarmac, sts going to go wrong very quickly. And it does happen ridiculously quickly, I learnt the hard way in my youth.
Forget it!

That explains why there aren't many about then.king dangerous. You'd be far safer getting a bike.

Other than notoriously difficult to get to go around a corner and not really designed for the road - I am sure they are bloody hoot!
I am being overly hard on them, but they do require a certain technique for the road and they arent the most practical things. There is one around here thats fully tricked out with skinny tyres and some silly engine. Looks great and goes like the clappers, but for every knowing nod I am sure he gets an equal "bloody chav" comment... not sure the grief would be worth it.

I hate those fking things. I can't understand why anyone would have one when there are proper bikes available.
All the drawbacks of a car with none of the advantages of a motorbike.

I often see one on the way to work, often stuck in a traffic jam.
And there's the rub - unlike a proper bike, you can't filter through traffic so have to sit there as if you're in a car.
But of course unlike sitting in a car in traffic, you get very wet when it rains.
Not trying to piss on your strawberries, or anything OP.....

I really just saw it as a bit of a fun thing to do, they seem to be pretty cheap but they also seem f
king dangerous.
