Too funny. Big oops. There's a guy I run into every so often on the trails who had a Sportsman 800. Rolled that at Hatfield/McCoy. Got a Grizzly 700 EPS. Crashed in Maine. Now he's on an old Xplorer 400 or something like that. I hope he stops totalling his quads.

Ya I have seen a few wrecks in my day but that is one of the worst rolls yet. Makes you wonder if Suzuki will give them another machine to test any time soon? LOL

From what the guy told me, when he had the roll at Hatfield/McCoy it flipped end over end for about 400 ft. That would really mess it up. He did have accident insurance. My guess is that his insurance company parted company with him.

I might cry for a Corvette Z06 but not a Viper.
