rolled the quad lastnight

[quadracer99]

well i started to go up a nice hill on the 400... and when i got to the top i hit a rock that was stickin straight out at me... the quad went back on the grab bar... went on its left side and rolled 2 times back down the hill before gettin back on all 4's and rollin into a tree... it sucked... i have to get new stering stem, handlebars, brake/clutch lever, left rear rim, and new shift lever ;)

Just remember fixing your quad is cheaper and quicker than a broken arm or leg.


Welcome to the family, we all roll our quads. Its just part of riding.

becareful though about bending the stem cause they really lose strength when heated up and being bent! buy a new one from ahonda dealer they are only around 50 buks if i rember correctly or maybe even cheaper.......:)

that sucks about the crash. but it could have been way worse. you could have gotten hurt bad and the quad could have been messed up a lot more.

i bent my blaster steering stem a while ago and we tried bending it back but it was a lost cause. my dad is a toolmaker so we got some nascar tubing the exact size of the regular stem and hacked off the part that was bent ( 3/4ths of it) and then we took a solid piece of aluminum and shoved it in the stock stem part so half of it was sticking out. then we put the nascar tubing on that so that i would be straight and stronger at that part. then we welded it up. ive rolled it on its side and it held up great. $ fix and a stronger stem. ill take it!

It always sucks to watch them roll down the hill knowing that there is NOTHING you can do to stop it after all hell breaks lose and it goes over the 1st time. Just remember that the quad can be fixed and broken boans will heal.

My Rancher showed me that it was the boss at the Rock House trails in the Hatfield Mc Coy trails a few weeks ago.
2 broken ribs, 1 broken wrist & 23 miles of riding before getting back to the truck.
The most miserable ride I have ever taken.

For anyone who knows the trails & is wondering exactly whear it happened it was on that small vertical rock lip on trail # 35 just after you turn off of trail # 10. It was raining and the hill was prety wet and I didn't hit the rock hard enough. The truck was parked @ the trail head.
