I Crashed My Quad

Well the Way I Ride, some of you knew it was Inevitable.
Below are Three Videos.
First one is Slow Motion of How it Happens.
Second one is Normal Speed, and what happens after the Accident.
Third one Follows more of what happens after .

I Was Riding By Myself. I was going through a Mud HOLE Either there was a log or a rock, or A Dip but just as I was almost through it, Machine, Rolled over on my right side, as soon as I contacted the ground, I Heard A SNAP! I got up, flipped the Quad back over. I had the wind knocked out of me.

5 broken Ribs
1 Punctured Lung
1 Broken Collar Bone
2023 Quad Riding Season is Over for ME!

Holy crap man!  You're lucky to be alive. Heal up quickly and stay active brother! 

I ride alone sometimes. My worst incident was getting my ATC stuck.

I got out of it with a little help from th local constable.

Sorry man but I had to laugh..   I know the feeling  "oh I stuffed up..  I'm f***ed !"..

The gasping too..  I know it well..  And that walking around in circles following the pain, hopeing that if you move towards it it will somehow stop dragging at your ribs..  haha..

Hope you get better soon.

Yeah..  be safe.. and don't do those silly things..

I normally tell my sons, "have fun. but don't get caught". I'll have to change it to "have fun. but don't get hurt"..

Absolutely terrified watching that! I thought when you sat down next to your quad you were going to pass out and we would be watching "found footage".

 

I used to live in downriver Michigan, it was always awsome heading up to the Brighton rec area. But they closed them years back.

Hope you are doing well!

      Quad to pull flail mower - Eiger, Kodiak, Big Bear ?
      By Fonne
      Hi 
      Is looking for a quad to pull a flail mower as my first priority, but also a bit of fun. 
      So its going to be pulling a flail mower on high grass / weed on a bumpy field at pretty low speed. 
      My budget is not high, so is mostly looking at a old Yamaha Kodiak 400cc / Suzuki Eiger 400cc or similar. 
      What machine would you recommend  ?  - Really want a solid machine since I am no mechanic but can perform a early service myself. 

      (English is not my native, hope it makes sense)

      NSFW / Looking for fun ideas for our 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground
      By mehim
      Hi everyone and thanks for reading. 
      My husband and me are getting ready to host the 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground. The first one (last year) went pretty well with about 20 quads attending and have to say, it was a smaller group, but they made up for their size with the large interest in partying and there was plenty of nudity as the Saturday night went on. 
      We have decided to host another one this summer, but we are looking for some fun (but safe) riding events. Our grounds are almost all flat and remember we are a nudist campground so many of us are bare as* naked so "slow ride" events would be the best. 
      Give us your thoughts and ideas and feel free to ask us anything you would like, and we will answer right here in the thread. 
      Thanks for your help and ride safe. 
      BTW, let us know what "anything goes" means for this thread section.

      First time quad owner looking for advice!
      By Mikey509
      Hi guys, I was given a 2000 Honda Recon fourtrax 250 (I think that's the full name lol). The previous owner had it sitting for a while before I got it. It sat for another few years in my ownership. I got it up and going on its first test drive today!! I was wondering where everyone buys their parts from?  Coming from the car community, we have sites like RockAuto and many more. Anything like that for quads? Also would like to be pointed in a direction, if possible, for plastics. I am missing a few and would like to have it complete. I appreciate any input!

      2005 Suzuki King Quad Battery Question
      By LMI
      Hi all.  New to the forum & quads.  Seems like a great place full of info.
      I just recently picked up a 2005 Suzuki KingQuad LTA700.  I need a battery.  I've been reading up on conventional vs AGM types.  I have a Royal Distributing and Canadian Tire.  RD has 2 types avail for my year/Model a battery YTX16-BS CRANK $75, and BATTERY YTX20CH-BS YUASA $140.  Neither of these is the type from the manual FTZ16-BS.
      from what I can tell... I think the only difference is the capacity with the $75 unit rated at 14 AH/10HR and the $140 unit rated at 18 AH/10HR ... which is the rating in the manual for the FTZ16-BS.  How much does this make a difference for nearly x2 the cost?
      And about the models/type numbers.... what is important to know ... they all end in "-BS" but are the other details relevant or just manufacturer naming?
