Well it's be raining here for the past two days straight.I have washed my 400 twice.And today I wanted to ride it.



So I took off down my road.And came back.I was getting ready to turn the corner around my house.Except I kept going straight and smoked a tree with the grab bar.I bent it pretty bad.

I realized what was happening way before it happened.And I was just on for the ride.It was basicly like ice when I put the brakes on.


I have only had my 400 for a week!How much is a new subframe?



Sorry I had to vent somewhere.

Its $131 +shipping at Servicehonda.com for a stock one. http://www.servicehonda.com/hard%20parts/atv/trx400ex/trx400ex%20frames%20page.htm

You might want to consider an aftermarket one.

I actually still use the set of Dollar Store steak knives I bought when I was in college:D Hell, they only cost me $3 of a set of 6 knives and they're still sharp years later:muscle: Of course, I don't have the control ball, rock-and-chop butcher knife but I get the job done in the kitchen nonetheless:D

Can you tell I just watched the infomercial 2 nights ago when I couldn't sleep?
