Ok, a little off topic, but since I found it riding my Prairie 650 in the Sabine National Forest I figured it would be OK. You'll notice that you have not seen any pictures of this in the news, I figured I would share these with my Fellow Kawi riders and members of this board.

wow, do you know which side of the shuttle it came off of?

 

It was the nose gear assembly

wow, good job;

Was you looking for parts or just come across it

 

Just cruising, but keeping my eye's open. I had driven past this spot at least 5 times in the last 2 weeks and didn't see it.

 

WOW! Good eyes.
Thanks for sharing that with us.

 

that's interesting. thanks if you find anything else let us see it.

 

TXBigRed,

Heck, you should have gotten your name in the newspapers for that one. It would have given our sport a better image.

You know it amazes me how we ATVers all chip in during times of emergency, but it never gets mentioned. If someone is looking for a lost child or missing hunter it is usually ATVs that do the job. They can cover far more ground than a horse or even a person on foot. They are more stable than a motorcycle, and usually get the job done better than anything else. ATVs are by far the best S&R tool shy of the human brain.

 

MIKE, Good point!

 

mike, good point but that would be classified as good publicity for ATVs and the media focus on bad.
