ok guys i went out riding yesterday to practice for loretta and i was doing what i do every time, clearing all the doubles and triples but then a trailer pulled up with a whole bunch of banshees and 250r's and they all had hit up the drag strip so i thought id c how id do against em...well i was smoking them off the line and beating them by 2 or 3 bike lengths but then i was riding back to the starting line and i locked up the brakes just to slide around and when i locked em up the rear slid to far from underneath me and the tires caught and spit me over!:( all i did was pretty much roll it over and i bend a freakin steering stem,headlight bracket and a tie rod!:mad: this is my second steering stem ive gone through and i was wondering if anyone makes a stem thats got a life-time warranty on it:confused: lol cause my new g force axle has life-time warranty so i figured maybe somebody makes a steering stem with life-time warranty...
this is my kind of luck here:mad: 2 weeks before loretta and bend a steering stem!:mad:

That sucks ... but I don't think anyone makes a lifetime warranty stem out there . Atleast I haven't seen one.


Count yourself lucky , your Sunday could have been a lot worse . A guy I know that races and is good friends with my cousin took a nasty spill yesturday at some local races up here. He took a digger and broke his back and neck. It's going to be a long recovery for him. :(

its always a good thing to keep a couple stock steering stems around just incase stuff like this happens

besides its not the fact that i broke all of that...it just ticks me off when all i do is roll is over and bent the stem just like that! and ive seen quads roll 6 or 7 times and not break a thing!:confused: lol but o well... its part of it!:devil:

im with quad18...if a bent stem is all that happened...you had a EASY sunday. I broke my wrist on a sunday in april and it took me out for the entire season. All I did was fall off...bike didnt even roll or anything.
