I went riding this weekend on my friends Yamaha 350 four wheeler. It was my first time ever riding and I crashed into a tree. He thought just the bumper was damaged and that is fine so I wrote him a check for it. Today he called me and told me that the frame is bent and may need a new one. It might be able to be straightend, but I have no idea how much that will cost. This has come at the absolute worst time for me. Can anyone give me some good advice, or something that can make me feel better. How much is this going to cost me.

Most automotive body shops with a frame machine, can straighten it. I did mine a couple of years ago, and she's holding up fine.

 

Do you remember how much it was? And is there such a thing as too bent?

 

Since I work for an automotive dealership, it didn't cost me anything. If the bent bumper/frame didn't put you in the hospital, I doubt it is bent very much. You guy's probably would've noticed right away if it was.

 

Is it a Banshee, Warrior, or Wolverine??? The frames are not cheap for any of them but if it's a warrior or banshee you may be able to hit Ebay for a used one.

 

yea i bet you could find one on ebay for about $120. If you want my advice, dont sign up for paypal..use a money order to pay.

 

oh MAN trouble with PayPal now? they know everything about me! whats up? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

LOL, they know everything about me to! Well of what i have heard, they are secure, but I have had some really bad experiances with them. For example, one time I requested they take the money out of my bank acount, and instead it was out of my credet card. Its not that bad, but it is just anoying, also i cant sign into my name anymore because my account expired or something and i went through the "Forgot Password Process" and it still didn't work. I have just had some frustrations with them, and i dont think it is worth going though all that when you can pay 75 cets to get a money order.

 

Tell him your ribs hurt and your going to the Dr. for a check up and ask him if he has any insurance for you. I surely dont let anyone ride my quads specially if you have never riden before. Quads are a luxury item, when you loan them out, expect the worst or dont loan them out at all.
