I put in a new clutch in the ex last week and haven’t had a chance to ride it since. Well I got the chance today and wow what a deference it made. I took the tractor and leveled off the rows of dirt I had plowed up for a garden this spring so it was damp loamy dirt with tons of grip and brand new hole shots on the rear.
I was powering through a corner and came up on two side wheels, not wanting to let off I stayed in the throttle and then it came up on one wheel. I stayed in it and road the one wheel wheelie till the momentum got the better of me and tossed me off like rag doll. lol
I did two full rolls on the ground and popped up on my feet only to watch my quad ride off on it's own and run into a tree.
Lesson learned, one sometimes letting off the gas is a good thing, and don’t forget to hook up your tether. lol

Sounds like something I would do, I hate watching my ex keep going ( and often toward a tree ) after I get launched off of it not a good feeling when you know what's about to happen lol. Def would of made a good vid. Any damage to the quad?

No, no damage done, well just to my pride lol
I would have tried too chase it down but that would have been even funnier then me falling off. Besides I can’t run that fast. http://planetsmilies.net/not-tagged-smiley-10489.gif (http://planetsmilies.net) I only wish all my get off’s were that easy and uneventful. Between the perfect ground conditions and new clutch and new tires the old ex was pulling incredibly hard.
