lol Wylde It`s hard for me to sit still I always got to be doing something :laugh: typing one with 1 finger suck :aargh:

:laugh:I am with you on that one. My wife once said she was gonna handcuff me to something to keep me still, but changed her mind because she figured I would just chew my hand off to get out anyway.:partyc:

i just about had an oops yesterday. i had to change my rear sprocket again and i took my wheel off . replaced the sprocket put the wheel back on. then i went for a quick ride around the block . got a mile down the road and my quad was wabbling really bad. then i realized i forgot to tighten the lugnuts on the wheel. that could have turned into something really bad.

When I was about 14 and weighed a hundred pounds, I had a Honda Big Red, 200 3 wheeler. A friend and I would ride over to a lake that had what we called a spillway- maybe 10 ft high concrete dam that we would ride up and park our bikes on top of and look out over the lake. The Big Red had reverse, so I got the bright idea to put it in reverse and burn rubber as I backed down from the top of the spillway. Was a blast until I hit the rear brake, while traveling downhill, backwards. That thing flipped back on my skinny as* and those handlebars hurt pretty bad when they landed on my ribs. The kid I was with was smaller than I was and I was thinking, "there's no way he can get this thing off me- I'm gonna die at the spillway..." he got it off tho, and I learned not to do that again...

My best Oops (read that: embarrassing) to date is the second time I had my Kazuma out to the Red River. I was coming down a pretty rutted out trail and my ride decided to explore the right side of the trail suddenly throwing me off to the left. The beautiful part was how I hit the horn twice real quick as I went down. Beep! Beep! The large group or RZRs sitting out in the sand were all quite amused.

Back in my younger days of racing motor cycles, we were on the Ice at Whitmore lake practicing on a roundy round track. When coming off the ice it cracked and swallowed my front wheel. At times like this you find out who your friends really are. Thin ice, lake, cold, wet water. I had a rope thrown to me and tied it to my back wheel, jumped in the lake, (near shore 3ft deep) and lifted my bikes wheel while the guys pulled on the rope. No one would come near me to help. Would I do it again, you bet I would only on a quad now.....

a couple of years ago i got the crazy idea to make a big air jump out at the gravel pit. i hit the top of the hill doing about 60mph, the jump was flawless except for the landing, i was coming down for a perfect landing too, except for the washout that i t-boned the front end into, 60 to dead stopped instantly, broke wrist, 4 broken ribs, had to ride back out after i was finally able to breathe again

I had a big oops working in the garage a few years ago. Its not ATV related but I needed to cut the end off an extension cord so that I could wire it up to a light. I grabbed the pliers and then checked to make sure the cord was plugged in and turned on (stupid) and proceeded to cut it.

After the loud bang I looked down to find the pliers missing a chunk of metal where the the wire had sparked. Luckily the handles were insulated!

That's a good one, I bet we could open up a whole new thread just on how we got knocked on our as* with electricity. Definately been there and done that.:laugh:

      2006 polaris sprotsman 500 ho issues with the unit like the belt is slipping
      By Spritee1
      having an issue with the unit when running under a load up a hill or in high gear, seems like the belt is slipping, there is a clapping sound coming from the primary clutch like it releases and snaps back in. i don't think I should have a noise like that. this is a friends unit and he has already replaced the primary twice with the same result.
      not sure where to look next

      Suzuki King Quad 700 problem
      By NZrider
      My king quad 700 runs rough when cold then won't start some times but not often when it's hot. And occasionally smoke's a lot when it's cold I'm guessing that's rings but I'm worried unless it's causing the other problems
       
       
       
      All help is appreciated thanks
