Quads / ATV's In South Africa

Rain, mud and water - What a Jol on a quad! - 20 November 2005

This weekend's rain brought a tear to my eye as I started thinking of all the mud. 

For the average 4 stroke there's nothing better!!

We managed to take the camera with this time (And managed not to get it wet), and got some nice shots.

I was quite impressed by how well the rustler's behaved in the mud.
Just pop it in low range, and go for it.
