Here are pics of the new toys DW and I are picking up Wednesday.  DD got hers today but I haven't taken a picture of it yet.  It looks just like mine (The Black one) but smaller and it has pinmk flames on it.  Dry camping here we come!  Did I hear someone say Toy Hauler?

As someone who races quads I own 2 660 Raptors as well as a Polaris Trailblazer 250.
The Raptor is a fine  piece of equipment you will not regret buying. The only thing on mine that is still stock is the frame. Everything has been replaced with much lighter parts. Mine has a top speed of 85 mph. I've only done that once just to see how fast I can get it. Scared the blank out of me.

Congrats on the toys. You can never have too many of them.

I will say now that the 660 is fast enough.  However, I said the same thing years ago about a 200X 3 wheeler and ended up wih a Tecate 250.  So, never say never.

Congrats...you'll have fun. We don't ride ours as much as we'd like. Too much growth and subdivisions around here. Very few fields to ride anymore. We have a 2000 Polaris Trail Boss and a 2000 Polaris Magnum.

We live in a desert with tons of riding areas that are regulated by the state. There are places that have 80 mile trails that go by towns you can stop and gas up, have a Beer, etc.  The trails loop around so you end up back where you started.  I'm looking forward to the exploring.

There are a couple of places to ride around here, but some a little too far. My favorite is over 2 hours away. It is 2500 acres next to a river bay (Turkey Bay), and is mostly woods. Good trails for the moderate rider like myself and wifey.

I have also gone to a place with 70,000 acres of mostly woods, hills, and small mountains. I always carry a GPS when going there, because, boy, you can get lost on that much acreage!
