Hey guys I must say that I have never seen this many people that know about the buggy world and every day I am more and more pumped about really getting out there. Eric is fixing my buggy right now that we talked about last night and next week I am buying a 110 and a 90 from him for my 10 yr. old and 7yr. old daughters. I bought me a big trailer to day that will haul all three. Heres the deal, besides the obvious, cell phone, food, water, first aid kits, what do I need to bring along on mine and my girls first ride. I plan on spending about 4 hours in the bush next sunday. Nothing too major but lots of riding. What is the most likely extra part to take along, or any type of quick fix we could encounter. I am pretty mechanically inclined (as I own an auto glass shop) but I aint to BIGE.......hes the man!!!!! Any advice for the first time journey out with the little darlings. THANKS!!!!!!!!!

I always bring a socket set, philips screwdriver, GPS, and lots of extra gasoline. Tow straps can come in handy, too.

Safety-wise, make sure the girls have helmets, and bring some coats or extra layers just in case. Ensure your headlights are functioning and maybe bring a small flashlight.

Have fun this weekend, and remember you're still breaking them in, so take it easy the first couple rides! Wink

Congradulations on you and your girls new buggy life. Yes, you
are correct, Eric is the MAN. What to take? Band-Aids, small
bottle of peroxide, some tp, some asprin, a couple of xtra
layers of clothes, maybe a lightweight jacket. Helmets and
gloves are a must, especially in the woods. Tools? Socket set
from 7mm to at least a 22mm, wrenches, channel lock pliers, screw drivers (phillips and flattip) electric tape, a roll of 10 or 12 gauge wire, some button connectors, lockties, loctite!!!, a few extra small bolts such as 8mm, 10mm and 12mm. Slime all the tires before you go if possible, water, water, water, gas, gas, gas. Finally, a tarp or big beach type umbrella if possible for shade, just in case there is none. Other than that, be safe and have a blast. Very Happy Oh yea, tow strap and shovel. Maybe even a axe or hachett. Obviously, most of us could go on and on. You and your girls will find after a few rides, what works best for all of you. The main thing is safety items, water, fuel and tools.
