Quading at the coast

So, a while ago I posted a blog about my brother who bought 3 new quads, got them on special and all. And of how he managed to fall off of his!
Well, the quads were a bit of a bad buy, and he's planning on reselling them asap. They have 250cc motors, but they are in small bodies, and as such are not very stable. The motors are also not very good. We have spent quite a bot of time fixing and getting things going on them.

Anyway, today he went and bought another 250cc quad. A brand new one, from a reputable dealer, and this is much better. It has way more power, is more stable, and is well balanced, and cost ZAR4000 more than the "cheapies" he got first time round. We took the kids, Luckyl on his 125cc Kazuma Cheetah, and my niece on her new quad to ride in the veld next door.They had such a blast! I took the quad for a little spin, and it's really a great bike.

After sitting watching the kids for about 20 minutes, I decided to take the quad for another spin. I rode it well, got to do a couple of doughnuts! Very impressive! I went up the hill about 50 meters, and did another doughnut. No problem. Tried to follow this with a reverse doughnut so as to make a figure of eight, and promptly flipped it! up, I got thrown! Luckily the quad didn't get damaged, but I have a good graze behind the left knee, another on my right, and my right elbow.

My brother nearly wet himself laughing at me!
Anyway, all's well that ends well.
