You can't even drive and want a quad?????!!!

I would start by getting a provisional then go from there.

Don't you already have a car license? I think quads are treated like cars, thats why you don't need a helmet for them. So you would need a car license.

You need either a full car license, or a pre 1999 motorcycle license.

bare in mind i have no provisional or anything

Jeez mate, if you have never driven before then I wouldn't recommend a quad bike....they ain't exactly the most stable of vehicles to start with and it's very easy to end up on your arse.

once ive got the quad and licence or whatever, do i need some leathers or am i ok with a helmet ?

You will be wanting FULL protection unless you want to end up looking like Simon Weston in the event of an accident.

You will certainly look like a grade 1 cunt and after an accident a grade 1 skinless dead cunt. They are a ridiculous mode of transport. have a look at Ozzy Osbourne and Rik Mayall for examples of the fun you can have.

do i need some leathers or am i ok with a helmet ?

Sorry for being a boring old fart mate but you will have no protection whatsoever if something happens and you come off the bike. Bare minimum is gloves but seriously I would have leathers. These quads are difficult to handle especially at speed and going around corners.

You have to ask yourself what you really want the bike for. If you have no licence and it is your first bike/car/vehicle then I would suggest an alternative like a good scooter. Another thing about quads is you will get stuck in traffic and you won't look cool sweating your arse off immobile. With a bike/scooter at least you can get to the front at the lights and simply drive up the side of queues.

Quads are not good for for someone with no licence!! Get something else and then make a decision in a few months time If that is what you want then it doesn't matter what any of us say on here really does it.

Also consider the winter. You can have waterproofs and thermals on but you will still freeze your bollox off.

As I say ask your self will you use it all year around or just when it's nice out.....

FFS!!!!!! A road version of that is what you want Breamy lad. That is fucking awsome!

I drove one a few weeks back and have to say it was entertaining indeed. Nearly impossible to roll and accelerates like a beast.
