LOL, nearly spit out my coffee this morning.... Ha, too funny. Unfortunately, I'm not a young bro, but rather a nice "seasoned" gentlemen. Really don't give a hoot what others think. Now if they were paying off my mortgage, I might listen. (but I nearly have that taken care of too).

You had asked in another post. When using ramps, it's best to ratchet strap them to hold them in place. the advantage of the longramps.com are just that. the overall length. at 11', it is a more gentle drive up into the bed. Yep, I've seen the @$$ hats on youtube, and ATV load fails. Hence the longramps....

Very.

I live in an area very popular with ATV riders. I have sand dunes in my back yard that people come from hundreds of miles away to ride.

Even with that knowledge, the VAST majority of pickup trucks with ATV's in the bed with no trailer are Sheriffs, county irrigation workers, and fire fighters. I would say 1 out of every 5 is a "bro".

Nice quad!

Is that an '18 570?

I only ask because the '17 570's got a pretty major recall. Mine has been out of service for months because of it.

yep, a 2018. I saw the recalls for the 2017's.

I have the 2018 model DPS, so I'm hoping it's exempt from the DPS recall.
