400EX vs. Brute Force

[stalefish_132]

well on saturday me and pops decieded to go for a ride and we were coming out of this little trail that connects onto the main logging road. well i pulled up onto the road and looke ot the left then right and started pulling out (got half way) and i see this guy on a brute force just flat out coming for me. i hit tyhe breaks and i was stopped at about the half way point of the road ( 2 lane gravle road. and the guy locks pup his breaks and there was enouhg room for him to go around me but he hit the breaks and his tires started slidding aqnd he slide right into my left front tire ( he was still moving pretty good) he flew over tha handle bars, my biggest concern was the guy not wearing a helmet. his quad just stopped on the endge of the road luckly not rolling over him. i ran over to make sure he was allright and checked out his quad nothing wrong with it and he seemd to be fine other than a little dust so i went back to my quad and at first glance she looked fine. i tryed drivign it over to the side of the road and my trie is skidding. he hit my tire but not the rim so it bent the whole spindle, twisted the top a-arm, bent the rotor and pushed the nylon gard above the brake caliper agaist the rotor. so i went over to where him and his family were camping and got my tierod ajusted so i could at least ride home ( bout and hour and half ride back)

here is a detaild picture of what went down

That sucks man. He must have been an idiot not to just go around.

Those Brute Forces are huge...they could completely crumble a poor 400ex.

That really does suck...
Nice art on paint...LOL:D

Lmfao i was wondering what you were talking about. That sucks man, I hope you get everything straightend up, atleast no one was seriously hurt.

[stalefish_132]

yeah i got a used spindle coming on its way. i'll just straighten the aarm its nothing major. and straighen the rotar isn't to bad either.

still can't beleve how was the guy was going tho, any one know how fast a brute force 750 will go because thats about how fast he hit me.:eek2:

I know a guy with one. It will outrun my 400ex easy. But it handles horribly. He breaks his everytime he rides to.
