OUCH !!!!!

so last tuesday i got done working and went south to go four wheeling with some friends. let me start by saying my four wheeler is a 2002 yamaha big bear 400 c.c. with 27" mud tires. so its heavy and very easy to tip, at a total of ~~550 pounds empty.

im on top of a hill following a trail. trail turns sharp; and the four wheeler doesnt. i decided it was a good idea to bail off and move to safety, but didnt recieve enough time to do so. i looked up as it was coming down on top of me. fast. went over me hard, bent the front, rear rack, handle bars, tool box. i was hurting ( still am. ) but thankful to be walking.

so i get everything back to working order. now i see a nice pond i can make it through. ive been through ponds and streams with water passed the headlights, so no big deal right??? hit a soft spot, taking in water into the motor. still dont run right.

what did i do to deserve this bad luck? or did stupidity take credit for the problems.... im guessing stupidity:-X23

OUCH !!!!!

Pond & Mudder HUH?

We had a guy near Edmonton about a month ago take his SNOWMOBILE out on the lake. He made it out about 700 Meters (630 Yards) until the sled sank & he drowned.
I guess he didn't have enough speed to turn around.

See my head-shaking thread.

Dennis, around here snowmobiles on water is called watercross. Kinda cool watching snowmobiles skip across the water. Not all of them make it though, just make sure to be wearing a life vest and to kill the engine before it goes under. The town I grew up in has been holding a watercross event for the last 26 years.
