The bottom of a drainage ditch and a swingset

Rough night, tons of tasty beverages involved. Well you might have seen my thread on my new Zilla mud tires on my 700cc 4 wheeler. Well after 3 solid days of rain me and a buddy decided to go see what we could go get into. We left out about 2am and took off down some dirt roads near the house. We went into an empty grown up lot (est 10 acres) and went a path we have been down a dozen times before. I guess I miscalculated our path and we pummeled down past a 6ft tall concrete culvert with the 4 wheeler on top of us in a shallow pool of old rain water. I estimate it was about a 10 ft drop off straight down. We immediately flipped the 4 wheeler right side up and after choosing an appropriate path out, it started and took us home. Here's what she looked like the next day: Damage was front and rear racks, brake handle, and sticky throttle.

Remember where I said sticky throttle???? Well as I went to put it in the garage later that evening, I blipped the throttle while I wasn't hanging on, did a backflip off the rear rack and watched the 4 wheeler drive itself into the kids swingset. Damn it.

Well I've got a new swingset coming and spent a few hours repairing and cleaning the bike and she looks like it never happened.

Bump this back up....

funny story man

skip the drinks next time and save a lot of TIME AND PROBs

At anytime that night where the words " dude , hold my beer and watch this"

Those racks saved a lot of damage.  You lucked out for not having any broken limbs. That's one tuff quad wow. You could say you drove off a cliff with a passenger.

That quad looks really good considering where it was!

Nice ! Sounds like the tasty beverages got the best of you guys !! lol
