Well, quad bike OR quad doesn't bother me. Most people who don't ride, figure it out easier when you say a Quad-bike. I get a few funny looks` with " the quad". laughing laughing
Maybe that animated show on SBS confused them first. Wink
Quadricycle or ATV don't really do it for me either. Smile
So I guess that's a no. Rolls eyes

I like the "Quad Bike" name.

In Australian the Aussie way we shorten it down to "Quad", well that what I use and every one seems to know what I am on about.

Mind you we havent totaly Aus-ifed it and called them "Quaddies"

I don't mind Quad or Quad Bike but I reckon ATV sounds like something you ride on the farm!!!

i talk about my bike and people think i mean two wheeler. i think ATV is more common in nz than quad. I say i race atv's, you know like on the farm but only the same in the fact they got 4wheels.

certainly avoids any confusion calling them quad bikes. The DSS would be straight onto my brother for riding one of his quads around the yard, and his other three identical daughters wouldn't be impressed either. Arnie used to love blasting his quads in the gym but I'm sure this didn't involve dynamite and a banshee laughing laughing
