Why ask about quads in the motorcycle section ?

Question

I get so riled about this. A quad is nothing more than a car with no protection.

Quad riders turn up at bike runs etc.

I'm a biker - two wheels get it ? Ok so I got respect for trikers, I'll probably end up with one when my hip gets arthritic or I get sciatica, but quads ??????????????

Anyone else feel like this ?

Answer 1

i could just say a car is nothing but a bike with protection.......its a dumb argument you have

your a complete plank

since when has a motorcycle been called a motorbicycle

Answer 2

A quad is nothing more than you described. Infact one would need a full car licence in order to be legal to ride one. They are not motorcycles.

Answer 3

Chill out , smile as you filter(UK only as our colonials are not allowed to) passed the quad,grin as you get home just before the heavens open in the knowledge,that the poor guy /girl is still stuck in traffic wishing for a roof...

Answer 4

I agree that a quad is not a motorcycle.

But there is a valid reason for asking here. The components and systems are almost identical. Quads are nothing more than the old 3-wheelers (trikes, which are grouped as motorcycles in most areas). The engines are similar, brakes, chain drives, etc...

The best reason of all is that there is no other place.

Truthfully, would you rather these guys get their info from cagers? It's bad enough when you find car answers to motorcycle questions in the motorcycle section.

It's not a motorcycle, yet the closest information will be found here.

Answer 5

well my view is a quad has a bike engine that's not to say i like them far from it but what the h**l does it matter its a engine and you can fall off it can't do that on a car respect you don't deserve it

Answer 6

Well, the Piaggio MP3 250 or 500 are both scooters, but you wouldn't call them a backwards Robin Reliant would you!?

In saying that the bike world has become such a snob for itself that many refuse to class scooters as bikes. OK they are mechanically different from motorbikes, but 2=bi+engine= some kinda motorbike!

Just wait till they see what the new 'superscoot' can do!

Check links for 3 mentioned at the bottom.

Answer 7

Does it REALLY matter in the grand sceme of things? At least you haven't been run over by one!

Answer 8

You get riled easily don't you. We've all had a good laugh reading your silly little rant though. I hope you feel better now.

Next time you feel angry, leave the bike in the garage and take the bus to your precious bike meet.

I like to think bike meets are inclusive events, I won't worry how many wheels you need to get there, or even if you are the driver of the vehicle you arrive in/on.

Answer 9

You definitely have to be an ignorant RED NECK!! Quad runners ARE BIKES! They have a seat that goes through your legs, you shift with your feet, it has no wheel instead it has handle bars, etc.. Just becuase it has no protection it doesnt mean is a car! What do you say about the Tomahawk Bike????? it has 4 wheels!! and it is a bike still!! You should learn more about vehicles before asking nonsense questions!

Answer 10

quad = NOT a bike . scooters = not anything ( except rubbish ) .

Answer 11

So this is all it takes to rile you up huh? You must lead a really rough life if this is all you have to complain about.

Answer 12

I own a quad and i enjoy answering questions about them

I also own 3 motorcycles too.

I consider myself an expert on motorcycles and quads and with my vast knowledge and experiences I am helping many people by answering their questions with the correct information.
