: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:

      So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
      This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.
