Went out last night and had the first oops with the new rig. Started out drowning it in a water hole. When I realized it was getting too deep, I decided to exit out the side of the embankment. The front end went up, the rear down and then it stalled. Not a good sign. As I started looking for the nearest winchable object, I tried to fire it up and finally with a sputter Yellar came to life again. Only my forward momentum had died along with it. Front tires were getting nothing but air. Crawled onto the front rack and sat down while giving it the gas. A little spinning and mud flinging, and out Yellar came. Not too bad was able to restart and get out. Next headed up to Hedgehog Mountain. Got a little too cocky on a rock face and the 450ES showed me who was boss. Guess it didn't want to go up it bad enough. On the second attempt ole Yellar started to hop a little, next the right tire hooked up and launched the right side forward. Well we know what happened next. Old Yellar decided to take a little roll. All I can say is I didn't hang around. I did the fireman trick, drop and roll, roll, roll. After the third roll I figured I was far enough away to take a quick look. Yellar was finishing her roll and landed upright just a few feet away still rumbling away. Never missed a beat. A few minor scratches on Yellar's racks and a little skin on my arm, and we were off again. Best or worst part about it was that no one was around. Good thing that was all that happened. I got lucky this time. Need to find a few more riding partners, maybe a cell phone too. I love my Foreman.

 

Nice, how do you like the ES?? Any problems??

 

Not a one. One time it died going up a hill with my girlfriend. I had to rock it to get it to down shift. Otherwise no problems yet.
