Back from a Saturday trip at Wincester Bay. Dont remember to much of it. Went on a last ride for the day and didnt make it to far. Me and my quad ended going off a 10-12 ft ledge into one of those lovely pits in the sand and never came out. Lets just say it wasn't pretty. My googles decided to rip a gash in my eyebrow that needed 4 internal stitches and 12 external. And my upperlegs are swallon and bruised. Yesterday is more of a dream than reallity. I know I had fun before. Tried to go up banshee hill but didn't make it because of a completely flat rear tire. It pulled me towards the edge of the run. Had to go back for air and a break. I do have some pictures of the trip, hopefully it will remind me what I actually did. I do remember that their was a yfz450 that was beating my friends modified raptor. The yfz had only the exaust core taken out and no lid. For those who went to Wincester bay saturday. I was in the group that had 2 banshee's, three 250R's, one Raptor, one 400ex, one z400 and my KFX400. But this accident will not stop me from riding, if I heal up enough, I'm going riding next weekend. Will post some pictures later.

Glad your ok larry . what a way to go out not remembering much .at first i though alcohol was the factor and i was gonna have to make a scene but since nothing was stated and i respect the screen name HIGHLY ! i'm just glad youre aight and gonna be able to get back out next weekend if you are doing any better .

 

first time in the dunes? i never go over the crest or top or whatever you call it, of a dune straight.

 

I've been to the dunes before, but first time time Wincester Bay. I went back to see whats up with a friends quad. Then turned around to catch up with other friends and basic I was going to fast for that type of terrian. Some one said that there were alot more pits than normal. I diffenitly take it easy through unknown territory next time.

You have a full yosh exhaust. What is the TEC insert? Is it above the 93d noise level, with TEC installed. I was talking to a dealer and he said when you see the law you just take off the other way. I just took my vaca, traveled through your area and the dunes. Nice place to do it all. I wanted to catch some of those salmon heading up the rogue river.

 

The TEC inserts are supposed to quiet them down, THe small insert is around 93-94 dps. I really dont use them. I like all the power I can get. But I do bring them along just incase they are on mase patrol. Spring and late fall I try for those salmon.

hey was it late in the evening when it happened? I remember seeing a bunch of ambulences/firetrucks/and rangers rushing out just past sunset.

that was me on the yfz.

 

i had a crash similar to that but in the woods.ended up with stitches on my leg 20 of them from riding to fast where i dont know the terrain. but same as u i was back on it as soon as i could.

 

No, this happened around 3:15pm. They did call for an ambulence but canceled the call. I rode back with a friend, loaded up, went to the hospital. Stitches are out now but might have a broken rip or torn cartlidge on rib cage. No insurance so hesitant to go to DRs.
