Four Wheeler floating across pond

[mudbug3]

This is a video clip of a 4-wheeler swimming across a small pond . He wants an amphib but don,t know it .

4-wheeler wannabe

Putting snorkels on a 4-wheeler , to be able to go deeper and deeper into the water , really shortens the life span of one , I,ve been told .

mudbug, I moved these two posts out of the video thread into their own thread.

Mike I,m sorry for the double video post ,,but I tried every way I could think of,,and could never seem to figure out how to delete the post, and video too. Each time I deleted the words of my post about the video clip link ,, I would hit save,and then see a window appear saying " not enough subject matter" . Please tell me how to delete the subject matter, my posting ,and video link too ,and not have this happen again ?

[Mike]

Mudbug, you are fine man. You can't delete your own posts all the way, just edit them. I just moved these two posts out because they are about 4 wheelers...our nemesis

Nothing against you, I have just moved most of the 4 wheeler stuff to chit chat.

I once did the same thing to my Honda 3 wheeler. Fun stuff

Ive seen kits on the net that are like airbags that attach the the sides of atvs or something to help them float. Still get wet thought.

I would like to see him do that in the winter

Sorry no sale,
quad guys try to tell me to get a quad and it can do as much as an Argo so I say sure lets go ice fishing when the ice is thin.

Looks like alligator bait to me.
Id be more comfortable drinking a cold wet one driving my Argo than being a cold wet one driving my quad.

jerseybigfoot ,
Where I live in Lousiana , and where my amphibious friends live in east Texas, taller and tallerr mud tires ,and longer and longer snorkles on ATV,s , are the going thing . Long mud pits with lots of waters , are the big thing at most major ATV events . Until I watched that Utube video I posted on the forum , I would never have believed an ATV could swim across a pond like that. Those tires looked like the High Lifter Out laws . I,ve heard that they swim .

What a moron, haha. As I say, "It looks like you're missing about two wheels there." Everytime I see something like this I can only imagine what kind of damage this must be doing on the machine. 4 wheelers were certainly not engineered to do this kind of thing. I would think that this thing probably won't have much life left in it after doing this a couple times. And its not like a 6 wheeler where it can be rebuilt easily. Once this thing is broke, the repair costs would be through the roof and it would be better just to go get a new one.......or if that person was smart and wanted to buy a REAL off road vehicle they would just get a 6 wheeler!

What about crank breather vents? What about water getting in the frame tubing and rotting from inside out? Hey, what ever floats his boat.

I guess we are missing out and behind the times I sure didn't know this was so popular. I'm selling the Max I feel so cheated it floats and is not cool.

[jerseybigfoot]

Everybody has their own idea of fun and the fellow crossing the pond seemed pleased to be on the other side. Looks like a very delicate balance to keep it seat side up.
The video location with palm trees and deep pond just seemed like a good place for gators and maybe a snapping turtle or two.

This thread is cracking me up!
