Default Ready to Sell...bad wreck...

Well...I think it's time to sell out.

We expereinced a bad, bad accident over the weekend...and it's time to move up to a Ranger.

Anybody have any experience with Ranger? 500 carbed? 500 EFI or 700 EFI?

Pretty serious crash. Long story short...broken neck, broken ribs overall pretty beat up. The guy is still in the hospital. He was life-lined out of the area we were riding in. Luckily...he was wearing his helmet.

I've never seen a scrambler jump 15-20 feet in the air (straight up in the air)...but, this one did! It was the end-over-end and then the quad coming down on top of him that really did the damage.

let me see if i understand this correctly, some guy crashes his Scrambler and because of that you want to sell your Scrambler and get a Ranger?

i don't understand what the 2 have in common?

i see a lot of guys crash their trucks but it doesn't make me inclined to sell my truck.

i don't get it.

We all ride together...one rides hard...we all ride hard. In our scenario...it's not if...it's when. There's a lot of testosterone in our group and it reared its ugly head AGAIN this past weekend.

That...and I can't imagine seeing one of my kids being flown out in that condition.

There has been a steady migration from quads to Ranger's within our group. The 700 EFI is the new ride of choice.

It's all good...

Sorry to hear about your weekend. I hope your friend gets through it and jumps back on.

I would take a hard look at the Rhino. They have so many more upgrades for it. Just my 2 cents

A ranger sounds like fun! Put some go to hell huge *** tires on it. maybe a stereo system. Throw a cooler full of beer in the back and there you have it.
