I love my 4-wheeler!! Did you ever see the pictures where we went and rode in the mountains? I'll try to find them and post a link. I'd only had my 4-wheeler for a couple of months!!!

Be careful, Diana!! A good friend of ours who's in her 70's was out on her 4-wheeler, she's a tough old gal and very independent, she somehow turned it over on herself and broke her back in several places. They had to lifeflight her from her ranch to the hospital. This was about 5 years ago. She recovered with no paralysis or anything, but she wears a rather large plastic back brace now, and seems to be in pain. She's not one to complain and tries to act like nothing is wrong. This would have been harder on someone who was not as tough as she is. Even experienced riders have problems with the 4wheelers. From a Harley rider who knows risky hobbies are worth it, just be careful when you're having fun.
