The Banshee was pretty much shot also but since he bailed and I was full throtle in 4th gear I hit an empty fourwheeler and according to people who saw it happen my DS actually in a way jumped his Banshee then fliped and rolled several times. As for the damage to the Banshee his A-arms were bent way up (not ripped off like mine) Frame is bent bad, Plastic,Handlebars,gas tank,and FMF pipes were trashed as well.

 

look at it this way, you may be the first person in the country to have actually totalled a DS! A dubious honor though. Glad to hear you are not seriously hurt.

Roostking...

 

Dont know if I would tell the insurance adjuster that I was RACING though.

 

yea
u shouldve posted this after u got ur money
insurance agent finds u were dragging ur not getting much $$$

 

Glad to read you are okay.Maybe you should think about selling your wrecked bike to a salvage yard.

 

Can you please send me the pics. I cannot get them to work and I would really like to see them.

 

My Insurance company has already sent a salvage company to come get my DS. They are going to give me $6,597.00 for my DS so I am very happy considering I only paid $6800.00 for it to begin with. Now all I have to do is wait for my check to come from my Insurance company and Im gonna get get another DS as soon as my foot heals.

Chris660R let me know if you got my E-Mail and if you were able to see the pictures

 

Yea, the size was a major factor in my purchase of the DS650. It just felt more comfortable then the 400EX. Didn't want a Banshee, and there was nothing else out there. I still would chose the DS650 over the Raptor. I will have to check out the Cannondale when it comes out. I might have been fine with a 400EX with wider a-arms, longer trailing arm and big bore kit, but I wanted to be riding sooner than that would allow.

Good luck,

Actually, he's the second that has posted on this site that has totaled one. Back in February or January, someone had posted that he wrapped his around a tree. $4000 in damage and he was asking if anyone wanted to buy it.

Still, very lucky to have had insurance and not injured worse.

 

I was contemplating whether or not to get insurance on my new raptor when it gets here. You have helped me to decide. I wish that it wouldn't have been such a painful decision.

By the way, what do most of you have to pay for quad insurace per year?
