    A guy on the other side of our works yard has one and it's THE most annoying
    thing to grace his premises, and that's saying something. He's revving the
    **** all day and being a complete twat with it.

    Someone is very likely to lodge it permanently up his arse before long and
    not before time.

    Great fun to ride though.

    marina came up with the following;:
    Actually quite fun. Through the village nice, docile, tractable and easily
    managed. Out of town and onto some twisty bends and they were both beasts
    .... ;) The Suzuki seeemd more vicious of the two and could be more easily
    thrown around, wheelies and side wheelies were very easy. The Kawasaki was
    less nimble, could still be made to do anything, and was ultimately faster,
    I thought.

    They are _very_ different from the quads I've rode before though, and even
    though I've raced sidecars there's little to prepare you for the strange
    feelings and positions you need to adopt to hustle them along quickly, hence
    a lot fo the excitement factor, I guess. I also guess this might wear off
    after a while and that they would, eventually, become playthings and only
    ever be driven like a hooligan. Not that I mind, but it's not what I want
    anymore.

    Personally, I'm glad I rode mates quads ... It clarified for me that I
    wouldn't want to buy or own one other than as an off/on-road plaything. I'd
    spend my money on many other things first.
