Riding on the Property In Pemberton - Page 2

That'll change as your kids get older. My son tries really hard to outpace me now. My daughter still rides relatively cautiously, but she's gaining confidence.

Until then, Dads need some open throttle time. We accomplish that with FRS radios; if one of us intends to ride solo, he/she must take a radio and check in occasionally. We must also know the intended route.

FRS radios would be fun toys to boot!

Weldangrind what is everyone in your family riding now? I remember you were selling some of your rides. I'm curious what you have everyone bombing around on?

You hijacked your own thread; that's funny!

I have an XR250 that is still in pieces (but not for long), my son will ride my old PE175 until he buys something newer, my wife rides a 200 Gio Beast quad and my daughter rides a 150 Gio Monster quad.

We still have a hot rodded 50 dirt bike for sale.

Well you know I was just curious!

I'm trying to figure out what to get my wife.. she would like a utility style quad, but anything Jap is through the roof expensive and with the amount she would ride it I cannot justify that kind of cost.. I'm a little unsure of the 'larger' china quads like the Gio Bad Boy etc. It is one thing to be wrenching little things on 300 dollar kid toys, but another to drop 1000+ and still be wrenching!

Hi John,

My wife is a professional photographer. She was just snapping shots of us while we rode. I believe the camera is a Canon 40D, and it was equipped with a Canon L Series Lens. (Long heavy bugger). The photos have been quickly worked on in Photoshop, mainly to crop and resize as they would be massive otherwise.

She's extremely talented, if I can be a tad biased.

Not quite that small...

The Pemberton in question is in beautiful British Columbia. At least the British part is consistent.
