well me and a few buddies went riding yesterday at Big Rock ATV park in Maysville Kentucky. beautiful day out, perfect riding weather. we had lots of fun even with out horrible luck.
For starteds one of teh guys forgot his key so we had to hotwire his YFZ before we could even get started, later in teh day he had two flat tires, the chain popped off and got bound up in the front sprocket, bent a tie rod, and by the end of the day his chain had a major kink in it from the earlier incident and actually broke a link.
then my buddy has a 400ex with gibson LT front end. A bolt fell out of the bottom ball joint causing the a-am to drop into the ground. we were able to tie it back in place so he could ride for the rest of the day since it fell apart in the first hour we were there.
Then one guy witha raptor stripped all the teeth off his front sprocket while another guy on a raptor burnt out his starter cylinoid and bent a front wheel
as for me, i rounded off my shifter shaft and may have doen something to the front end by nosing off a step up and landing fron end straight into the face of the landing.
despite all the problems it was a great day, a rather expensive one though. we started off with five quads in good condition and ended up limping all of them back to the truck by the end of the day.
