My new offroader.

Hi Peter,
In certain circumstances, yes.
10 years ago you could get them off road registered in WA, now this is not the case unless you desire to cross a gazetted road.

Alan,

I guess you have had a good chinwag with Mick O. If he hasn't already mentioned it fit some good guards to protect the CV boots. Sand will chew out the joints real quick. Not sure what tyres Mick runs but maybe have a look at the Goodyear EMT "Run flat" type. Having just sold an ATV dealership that sold heaps of a different brand to geological exploration mobs and the SAS we found these to be very puncture resistant and even after punching a hole in one you can still keep going.
Not sure if you are going to try for road rego but good luck if you do.

Happy travels
Pop

Hi Pop,
Thanks. Yes the issue of the CV boots comes up frequently in discussion and will definetly look into some sort of protection.
Not sure what tyres Micks runs with, I think standard. I was thinking of Dirt Devils however will look into the Goodyears.
Cheers

Hi Alan,
Yeah the Dirt Devils were pretty good. Also the Kenda Bearclaws are a pretty strong tyre.
One of our geo teams fitted second hand car tyres over the original ATV tyres. Basically the originals were used as tubes. He recons he never staked a tyre.
The run flats were the pick of the bunch but boy did they lighten the wallet..lol

Cheers
Pop

whatevver tyres you run id fill the tubes with that green goo - if it works as well as it does on bikes I wouldnt be without it .

I went from a flat every couple of days to being able to ride through caltropp in Kalgoorlie with impunity

Gday Rob,

I have previously looked into the area of Weriado Well myself, some interesting formations in that vicinity. An option for you may be to look up the old flight line diagrams from perhaps the Geoscience website, and purchase the aerial photographs from your selected era - though this is an expensive option.
Try this website - http://www.xnatmap.org/adnm/docs/index.htm
There is some good info there though will take you many hours to trawl through it all.

Glad you like reading some of my writings, hopefully can put some more up in due course. I will try and avoid a trailer for now though can see your point. I look forward to running down a few animal pads I have found (and haven't yet found) in the ATV. In a normal 4wd these are time consuming to track yet in an ATV would be easy to track 5 or 10 kms here and there.
Regards
Alan

Hi Phil,
AC! how could I forget that.
Co-pilot is still a bit unsure at the moment - Im sure she will get use to it. ?.lol

Cheers
Alan

Hi Mick,
Lol, as long as it can get from A to B, doesn't matter really how long it takes..
Time will tell what it name will be, hopefully derived from a positive attribute :-)
Cheers

Love the colour, and red ones don't go faster, it juts seems so.

Remember Al, it will get more punctures than your Toyo, but they are substantially easier to fix.

Your only problem will be to get some-one to drive the Toyo...Big John should help out so long as you give him a strong light to guide you home at dusk.

Might I, from direct experience, suggest the name of NumBum1.

PS. Just got an email from Jdub and Suze in Las Vegas with photos of quads and sit-in ATV's registered and running down the streets. We saw a lot in Canada too.

They will soon take off here as a great exploration vehicle, provided they are diesel.

Hey Al,
It's got a lot to do with the weight of the rider to..lol....

Big John will be supplied with ample batteries for his torch dont worry about that.

Numbum1, time will tell mate, I sincerely hope not though - though I know you speak from experience.

I reckon they will get more popular over here in time, I'll give it a good test dont you worry.
Take care
Alan

Hi Shaker,
For long distances, Im thinking I will have a bit more peace of mind carrying additional fuel with the diesel, as opposed to petrol, and it is compatible with the tojo.
If I don't get it registered I will limit my use on roads, which shouldn't be much of a drama.
Cheers

Come Jdub, sing along, "on a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair"...lol

Sounds like your having fun over there, cant see Australian rules going to that extent for while yet.

We'll have to have a chat about the c/v's when you get back.
Safe travelling
Alan

Well that wasn't much of a link I will try again. Doesn't help when you select the wrong tab.

Gday Rockape,
I have a bit of research to do by the sounds of it.
Cant quite access your link at the moment (at Madura Pass lookout), will have a look when I get home.
Sounds like a good product.
Cheers
Alan
