Uh yea...
So im out camping with fam and neighbor, my neighbor brought his ATVs. So i take em out for a bit, all is well and fun... Until,... (Temps have been dancing around 30's, my hands are numb with gloves on) I over estimate a turn, going too fast, lock the brakes, and slam the left rear into the cement curb-like thingy. I get launched twenty feet away from the Atv. Landing hard on my knees and wrists. Then sliding on the dirt covered concrete. So, Damage= Heavy Bone Bruising on both knees, (locking up) Jammed Wrist Road rash up left leg and back all outta wack Strained Hamstring ATV=No Damage But i was wearing full gear, so Im okay, and things obviously could be sooo much worse... But, I can hardly walk and my back is killin me...BAH! |

damn dude...ATVs have always scared me. I just don't like the feel of them. People seems to be less scared of them because they have 4 wheels over the 2 of a motorcycle. Seems a lot of bad shit from people wrecking them with no gear on.

The were only as dangerous as the person controlling them, just like anything else. I flipped our 125cc 4 wheeler far more times than our 200cc 3-wheeler, and I was far more reckless on the 3-wheeler. And why are trikes still legal on street, but 3-wheel ATC's were outlawed. I just don't get it. If ya can't tell, I'm a 3 wheeler advocate. I'd love to get my hands on a Honda 350X in decent shape. |
