    When i was young we put 5 on a quad on a regular basis so 10 on a kid should be no sweat. Although we did kind of resemble that scene from garbage pale kids.

    I've done the same thing, but the difference is that everyone is holding on. We're talking wounded men, who may or may not be conscious and capable of holding on. Who knows, maybe they just put sideboards on it and piled 'em on there...

    The goat was all that i remember other than the Mule but it had 4 tires and a steering wheel Note: great machine. With the Gama Goat you were not going to be sneaking up on anyone or come in silent. Drivers had to wear double hearing protection so they would not go deaf. This was not a macho thing the noise was so deafening you would have a terrible headache almost instantly. Add the heat in the back with smoke from the diesel, it was a real party. We did use them in the Marines but i hated to be near them.

    So I think it's safe to say a Gamma Goat won't be part of your fleet, Lewis. And yes, those old 2 stroke Detroits really scream and they chug down and piss oil like there's no tomorrow.
