    Quad Vs Dirtbike What would you rather have, a quad or a dirtbike? Quads and dirtbikes are both fun to ride but a quad is easier to use. The brake is a lot easier to step on and on four wheels it is a lot harder to flip. If you're wondering which to get a quad, or a dirtbike, get, a quad because you could hurt yourself badly on a dirtbike, like pulling on the handbrake and accidentally pulling back on the throttle.
    I had some bad experiences the very first time I ever rode a dirtbike. My friend Dale wanted to go ride around but all the quads were gone.
    “Just try riding the 50” he told me.I was like “Ok but i never tried before.”So I got on and started to ride around. It wasn't so bad then I went down a hill and sped up so I tried to use the foot brake but it was too high up.“Just use the hand brake,” my friend hollered to me.I reached for the hand brake and pulled. I shot back up the hill going even faster.
    “Let go” my friend hollered.I was too scared to respond, so I sped across the field and smashed into the trailer. I went flying back into the field, but I never broke anything except for the dirtbike. When I hit the ground I got the wind knocked out of me and felt like I couldn't breathe for a while. The second time I tried to ride a dirt bike was at home we had just bought a suzuki 110 so my dad talked me into riding it.
    I was like “ok i'll ride it but i'm wearing all kinds of pads.”When I got all padded up I got on it was just the right size my foot could hit the brake easily without having to lift it up. I took off up the driveway. I was going fast and when I turned to come back down the tires slipped to one side, and I skidded along the pavement causing scratches up the side of my leg and my foot to hit the motor creating a burn right on my ankle. I shoved the bike off me and ran down the driveway to the house in pain and soaked my foot. The helmet got pretty scraped up but I was glad it wasn't my head. So when trying to decide if you want a quad or a dirtbike choose the quad. After the burns and the scratches healed I realised it would just be a lot easier to ride a quad. Yes a dirtbike can do more tricks than a quad but think of the danger that goes along side of that. So when trying to choose which one to get remember my stories and get a quad.

    Dirt bikes don't roll end over end, crushing the rider and innocent bystanders at the bottom of the hill.

    Sounds like the OP needs to stick to pedal cars........................

    Dnt know why mods don't clean this garbage up..... one time I went to sit down in my car my sunglasses were on the seat, I sat on them they broke and part of it went right up my ooooowwwee. I will never sit down in a car again. Remember my words and remember the danger. Btw I also have both quad an dbike. U can get equally jacked up. But nowhere near as badly as u can get jacked up on a street bike. Stay waaaay far awaaaay from those. Don't even look at them, if u hear one cover ur ears.
