[QUOTE="HiG4s, post: 157016, member: 22165"] I raced quads for many years, and I started with bikes and switched to quads, and since have switched back. I still like quads but can't afford both and I find bikes more fun. If you look at a racing situation with serious riders, quads have no more serious injuries than dirt bike. This would indicate that they are NOT inherently more dangerous. Several of the posts here mention that the feeling that it is eaiser to ride can make it more dangerous, that is very true. They do allow you to ride at a higher level with out getting serious, because little mistakes don't throw you to the ground as can happen on bikes. If you realize they ARE dirt bikes that do not lay down you will be well served. They ride like very heavy dirt bikes, ie: dual sports, that have a hard time with side hills. Because they do not lay down, if you ride well within what is reasonable they will seem real safe. But if you push, like with a bike sooner or later you will crash and they only high side or flip. Riding and racing bikes I crash 3 to 4 times as often as with a quad, but my quad crashes were always as hard the harder crashes on my bike. But I have actually been hurt much worse on bikes. I truly believe quads are no more dangerous than bike but have gotten a bad rap because of those people who gotten hurt because they just haven't taken quads seriously. You very seldom see anyone riding a dirt bike without a helmet, yet I constantly see people on quads without. [/QUOTE]
