Well...i went riding with some friends..a decked out warrior, 300ex, trx90, and a cr250. We were riding at Matt's house(the one with the cr250) on his MX track. Me and the kid on the warrior started to race...cuz he thought he could beat me...:rolleyes:

Well...this track has some huge berms! We had went one lap and then i went into the first turn again..but the wheels wouldn't turn! I and the quad went flying over the berm! The quad was ok..it did a flip but landed on the tires and rolled down a hill!

I looked it over and the tie rod fell off!!! scared me to death!! Pretty freaky..

:eek2:

I remember when we first got the 440EX back from the shop, the steering was a little tight and the brakes were mushy, so I was flyin down the driveway and I could barely stop or turn and almost clipped a rock wall in like 3rd half throttle..

I hate losing parts when I'm riding. Once the axle nut, washer, and adjuster block on my CR fell off on a muddy day at a friends house, and the batteries have fall out of my camera on sandy trail riders countless times..
