Well Ladies and Gents, the time has come where I can no longer put off the official announcement. Southern Quads is now officially closed. 
I'd like to thank all the riders who have come to us over the last 3 years for their support.
This doesn't of course mean that I won't be able to help out fellow quad riders with advice on this fine forum and I will also be available to help out with some set-up work.
In the mean time any one looking to employ an ATV specialist feel free to give us a call on 0419 001 747.
PeteW

A bit of bad news there pete, but at least you had the great sense to know when its over. So many dont. One door shuts another opens, as the saying goes.
Hows the bub going ????

Pete......  that sux,,,big dogs hairy nads,,,what a spew dude 
.
i know how hard you quad only guys, do-it,,, it's a fargone shame it's not a viable business option
.
seen a lot of bike shops the past few years diversify with the market and still struggle

full powersports ranges, dirt, road, water, mini's
and clothing lines are freakin huge
.
best of luck for the future Pete...

Yogie makes a good point Pete, Southern Quads might be over, but you WILL move on to something else.
Think of how much you've learnt.
It won't be long and you'll look back on your Southern Quads time and just remember all the cool, fun things you did.
You did a lot for the sport as Southern Quads and I'm sure we'll still see you around (don't give up the Jumbo).
Thanks and
Good luck budy.
