Hey Guys; Part of the reason I haven't been on here much lately is my wife's been sick. Part of it is because I've been recovering from a ATV accident. Yes the Damn things do roll !!!! I've had mine for close to three years and never had any problems but last week I rolled mine down a canyon wall w/ me rolling ahead of it. Thank god it stopped rolling before I did!l When it was done I was pretty sure I broke both an arm and a leg, But I think just DEEP bruising in the leg and the arm is still swelled but useable. The ATV had to be hooked to the pickup and tractor so I could pull everything back in place. Just a friendly reminder guys please be careful like I said I've had mine long enough that I thought I knew its limitations than it got me. So again be careful. They are useful tool but can be dangerous!!!

Oh those things will flip you real fast if you don't watch it. I saw a guy hit a hidden ditch at about 30mph once. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. He hit it and hit gun went flying into 30 feet in the air with the atv and the guy doing a cartwheel But definatly can be dangerous. Guess you're unlucky don

Glad to hear you're on the mend. Hope the wife's doing better too.
Sounds like your little tumble could have been worse, at least nothing was broken...you hope.
I've been ATVing since the days of 3 wheelers with no suspension. In that time I've spent my share of time healing from various spills and rolls.

;D I missed this post or I would of been giving you a bad time all along about it. ;D Your getting too dam old to be doing that kind of thing Dep-Don, and it takes a lot longer to make it quit hurting. Heck by the time you get as old as I am your going to be in a wheel chair. ;D Hmm I think I told you that about 20 years ago too didn't I.

Holy Cow I missed this one too. Get on the mend DD!
There's a joker up the street that likes to pull into the Caseys(Convienience Store) and cut fiqure 8's on two wheels on his four wheeler. I've nearly hit him twice myself. Now our local police are famous for their speed writing in a ticket book. I have never understood how they are always on the wrong side of town when this joker is reckless driving on an unlicensed vehicle. I fear one day he'll bust his head and Sue Casey's for crimminal intent for maliciously and neglegently putting all that dangerous hard concrete on their driveway?
