Don't get him started on a patent for that thing. He had two of them and sold one of them on craigslist.

Maybe there should be a Spell Check and a Grammer Check added to the message box.

this one time... at band camp...


so me and my friend brett were out riding in the feilds and we were bombing around, having a good time and brett gets the genious idea to go down the steepest hill on the property, and of course it just rained the day before so it was all muddy and stuff. so of course i have 4wheel drive and 4 tires so i just wait at the top slowly working my way down makeing sure brett dosnt kill himself in some orderly fasion (hes on a Honda 100, way to big for it by the way, hes had it since he was 10 though) so he finnally gets to the bottom, and his rear tire looks like a big chocolate doughnut. and at the bottom of this massive drop is a creek, no not even a creek, closer to a small river. so hes worried, looks a little deep he says, not for the big 800 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

so i start to go down teh bank into the sand, i slip it into 4x4 as my tires start sinking into the sand and i get up on my knees on my seat and put 'er in low. i start doin through, we coudlent see to the bottom of the water because it was a little muddy and moving fairly fast but it ended up only being to the floor boards. we get to the other side, fool around a little bit and i start thinking, how deep is this creek, thankfully i have my danners on, so i stop in the middle of the creek and put it in park and get off and start walking the bank, bretts foolin around in the shallow end, every now and so hitting some algy and dropping his bike, dang thing ran under water. i finnally find were it starts to drop off so i go back to my 800 and open up the front box and grab my machete. i pull it out of the sleeve and start pokeing around the edge of the river to get a feel for the depth, it dropped off to about my elbow as far as i coudl tell (32" machete) so i dry it off and walk back to the quad, get on and start going slowly into it, the front tire falls off a lip and the front rack drops under water, i slam on the breaks, rake it into reverse and hit the overide and pull it out, as soon as i come out the fan kicks on and a shizt load of steem is billowing out from the quad, so i turn around and start backing it in a different spot, the rear and starts dropping under water as the back tires fell off the lip and im feeling adventerious now as the adrenaline is pumping, it ended up only being up to my mufflers so keep backing up about 120 feet from were brett is fooling around and its up to the bottoms of my racks all the way to the bend in the river. so i put it in forward and ran up to brett and told him to watch me, turns out he wants to come too... so i go forward into the water as he races up onto the bank on his dirtbike to the deep end and he jumps off and swims to me waiting for him, he climbs up onto the rear rack and we start going around and then i finnaly decide that the whole river bottom is level and go to the shallow end, back up about 20 yards, and hammer it and i get into the deep going about 25 and create a HUGE splash as the quad falls off the lip into the river and im getting followed my a massive wake, like the minature waves had white in them and were atleast 2 feet tall coming right off the tires. keep in mind this water was about up to the top of the front rack all the way in the back. half way through the water madness brett gets his bike and starts coming into the deep end (idiot) and hes driving around for about 30 seconds and then he drops his bike under water because it stalled and he cant get it to start (no duh, thats what water does in your airbox!) so hes just sitting there trying to start it while im idleing on the 4wheeler laughing at him waiting for the right moment to tell him that it wont start till he drys the engine out and changes the oil. so i wait about 5 minutes then finnaly tell him, hop off and float to the bike, me and him throw it onto the back of the 800 and i pull the tow strap out from my flooded front cmpartment and tie it around bretts waist then to the rack and get on and start goin, eventually brett flips on his back and is ski'ing on his back to the shallow end were he sinks to the gravle [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

so then i untie the towstrap and pull his bike off and go back into the deep and pull some water wheelies and goof around a little, seeing how fast i could go with 70% of the quad subearged, once i got it in high and pulled a 40mph (nice torque this thing has), then we put bretts bike on the back again and i tied it to the quad with the tow strap and brett sat on the front, put it in low again, 4x4 and started going up the steep grade with about 500 pounds of people and steel on it, and that baby just crawled up that grade at about 10mph at about 4000 rpm till the top and i hauled him back to his house (3 miles) and we took the bike off, changed our clothes and drained his oil, put new in and pulled the spark plug out and i left.

great fun
