57.3 mph 2003 Scrambler 500HO 4X4
Garmin Legend with 12 sats locked in.
-5C, icy snowy road, with a bit of a bare patch in the middle.
My 225lbs fat *** on it with probably 15lbs of boots, coats and whatever to stay warm.
Oh yea, did you know that if your left front tire hits a Raptors back right rear when your both going at about 25mph you can climb right over top of his fenders front and back.

I don't believe that for one-second.

OK here's the scenario
Long straight stretch, clear blue sky, sun in your eyes, 4 inches fresh snow.
First you cup your hand over the AWD switch to see if the light is working(even though it was 5 minutes ago). Then you bend over and hold your eyes in your cupped hand. Meanwhile your riding buddy, who is ahead of you, starts to slow down. You in your infinite wisdom are bent over and not paying attention, your front left hits his right rear, bounces up over the fender, narrowly missing afore mentioned buddy and lands on front fender. Meanwhile footrest and back tire are now climbing up his rear tire and flattening his fender. On a curious note, of course this bike is up for sale and the first serious offer was made to buddy the night before.
So now your bike is at a 45 degree angle very similar to a manuver that Herbie the lovebug might successfully attempt, rear tire whizzes by buddy, who is looking at you in a very shocked and peturbed manner, You continue on past, ruefull little grin on your face, as your bike settles back on all 4 tires. You fishtail down the road a little ways, allmost get it under control, slide sideways and flop over onto your side and do a louganis into the ditch(minus the infection, of course).
Buddy graciously asks if you are OK. You with dollars with wings on your mind ask if his bike is OK.
Yamaha builds a good quality plastic. Only damage is white stretch marks on the blue plastic where you've flattened the fenders.
Naturally there is nothing wrong with the poopalaris except for damaged pride. End of episode.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

evan,
You know I have witnessed this procedure happening when my wife was on the xr70 and decided to give the machine full throttle and apply the front brake as hard as she could and then completely flip the little Honda over. It was like it was in slow motion. Thank goodness we were in the woods and her landing was softened by the ground cover on the woods floor.
