OK, pic's are up now. look at pic's 16 and 19 for a view from both sides of what is left of it.

 

either i am loosing it, or i cant find the link to the pics on your post. is there something i dont know?

 

The Connection has them locked untill approved. Sorry about that , I can see them but I just chected my page and its still pending approval. Give it a little bit, when you see my camera pop back up they will be there. Or go over to nyroc's forum and look under Brute force, I have the exact same thread going overthere and I have 3 pics up.

 

Ouch. The front fenders don't look too bad.

 

Looks like the only thing still good is the air in the tires. Wow, what a fall.

 

Glad to hear your bro in-law is ok. We (my dad and i) ride in the ouchita mountains in arkansas so i know exactly how dangerous some of the trails can be. Hey, hows that big FST 800 compared to your old vforce? As far as trail riding.

 

theres got to be a way to get that out. get a few guys and go cut up the frame with a portable torch. then carry it out a few pieces at a time. take a heavy blanket or tarp what ever and put the engine it it with 2 guys it will be easy to carry that way. do the same for the rest of the parts. you could have it cut up into pieces in about an hour then its just time to move parts down to where they can be loaded up. i wouldnt leave it there even if it is junk its your responsibility to find a way and not just say oh i dont wanna work so ill leave it there

 

cut the frame??? You're kidding right? That would be pointless. Who wants a 4-piece frame to a BF??

 

But, hey its an idea! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Bmj, I know. We did not have any tools or atv trailers, nor was anyone except my B-inlaw in good enough shape to get to it. I went about half way up to with him the next day and man at 11,000 feet, this fat boy just ran out steam. much less have anything left to try and haul parts off it back down. I was doing pretty good to just stay on my feet in those rocks. Dad was worried to death one of us was going to slip and fall down the mountain and break a leg or something and there would be one hell of time getting one of us out of there. It not exactly as easy as you make it sound to get to it. One of the guy's that I work with had a pretty good idea. Take a large winch up to where it went down at maybe go on up and ancker it to the little cabin have several hundred feet of extra stap or cable to add to the winch line and drag it back up to the top. then a guy could have a second atv trailer to take it back down the mountain. I am talking about the little trailers that have the atv tires on them and are the same width as the atv. The trail up there is nowhere near wide enough for a truck of any kind. Its also unnerving in that the ledge side tire rut is lower then the mountain side rut. So you are in allot of areas leaning toward the edge. This is why I started this thead. It is free for the taking. I am hoping someone might want the parts, the motor and trans only has 300-400 miles on it. There are several other parts that could be of value also. I would guess by the pic's I have that 2000-3000.00 bucks it might be ridable again. Not a bad deal for a brute 750.00. or a guy could get some bucks parting it out on e-bay. We do not have the tools needed to get it. nore the physical ability to do it. We also live 14 hours away, Dad lives 18 hours away. So like I said its free for the taking if someone on one of the forums I have posted this on can get it, its theres. We are not wanting to just leave it there. but just the same we are not going to spend 10 or 20 grand to helo lift it out. If some one can get it out its yours , send me pics that you got it all out of there and I will get the MSO and a copy of the bill of sale from dad and send it to whom ever gets it out.
