That's too bad! Hope you get better soon man.

They new DS quads everyday but the skin is hard to replace.

Sounds like you actually got off lucky. If the truck had hit you you could have had a lengthy hospital stay or worse. My friend's son did a head on quad vs car a couple years back and has it took alot of pins to put him back together. These guy are right, the quad should be the least of your worries.

lilnotts,

Hope you heal up soon being laid up pretty much just sucks.

So how did this happen? Where do you ride your DS that trucks and stop signs appear anyhow?

Sounds like you did a lot better than being in FRONT of the truck...

thanx for all the support guys, an i know i could have been alot worse, i thank god that my gardian angels carry me over that truck, and i only have minor injuries compared to wat you'd have thought i would have, i should be able to walk fine again in about week n half, i'm gettin a cast next week(gotta wait til the swelling goes down on my hand, til then its in a brace),
i'm not 2 worried about the ds, an appraiser(sp?) is suppose 2 come out soon and see if they think if it should b fixed or written off, most likely option 2, i'll keep you guys updated
and here its legal 2 ride on the gravel roads aslong as you have licence,ownership and insurance, where i had the accident it was at an intersection with a paved road
