Quad bikes, snow mobiles, monster vehicles, call them whatever they just
tear any land apart and push you through. Riding these seductive four
wheelers can get you higher than any alcoholic beverage. Not made for the
weak hearted, these All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are the most envied
status symbols. Men from filthy rich status to commoners want to inherit
them in style. Just like mini motorcycles, these bikes carry a legal
status and are allowed only in particular areas mostly rural areas where
irrigation and agriculture is prominent. There, people who own these
bikes tread almost every piece of land overlooking the 'no trespassing'
sign. Surprised? Its an amazing world out there, racing and zooming. A
vehicle for all seasons, it is the flavor for the adventurous.These mean
machines are built for only one person to operate on, but few ingenious
minds got their bikes custom made or in today's Gen-x jargon 'pimped' for
two people to ride simultaneously. Creativity never ends. There are
different types of ATVs. All the fancy names fall under two main
categories-Sports ATVs and Utility ATVs. Utility ATVs are used in rural
areas and are generally for peace loving people who just fancy travelling
to work in these vehicles. They are also useful in irrigation and
hunting. Sports ATVs, on the contrary, are for the wild rides. The
competitions held in deserts and on ice are worth watching. Adrenaline
lovers risk their life to show off their skills, bike and its power. They
say it's not wise to run quads on mud. Off road bikers prefer to cruise
the landscapes during monsoons to enjoy nature and its beauty. Nothing is
as tranquil and serene as going on and off the road quad. A quit riot and
stress buster by choice!Are ATVs 'life threatening'? Yes. But, only, when
they are raced at random in quad bike races and catchy sports. Crashes
are very common. But no biker is giving up the joy rides it gives. The
love of the sport and the rage that comes with the speed makes them rise
up like the phoenix from the ashes. As these bikes run on fuel, emissions
are on the lower side. The craze has gone so high that even women and
kids have their custom made ATVs thanks to creative manufacturers.
Everyone deserves at least one chance to go wild with ecstasy. Don't you
agree?
