How weird is it to ride a quad bike after having driven nothing other than motorcycles for years? Very. But its also a great laugh. After the first half hour, whereby I learnt that you cant countersteeer on a quad, that you lean away from corners rather than into them, that the left handle is the brake and not the clutch and you have to yank the fuckers round corners with no degree of subtlety, I had a great laugh! I can highly recomend it if youve never had a go. We had a laugh over at Taff Valley Quads in Wales, just outside Cardiff. Your arms will hurt like fuck the next day, and my right thumb is never going to be quite the same again. I can understand why you have a thumb throttle though.. youre holding on so tight youd be all over the place as you went over bumps if you had a twist grip.... Verdict: Great laugh, and even better in the wet... the bikes slide far more :-)
