Yup, more times than I would like to admit. Luckily, none have been too serious. Multiple concussions, foot, ribs, + a bunch of bumps and bruises inbetween... all because of my own stupidity and/or not knowing the bike's limits.

Thankfully I haven't been hit. Holy cow! To the guy who got hit by the sandrail, unbelievable! Glad you are okay!

Just crashed today. Was going around a blind corner and once i cleared it i gunned it, causing my front tires to lift up and loose traction. I was only going about 30 when i took out 4 trees. They were only about 2-3 inches thick but still. After i took out those trees i hit an 8 inch tree causing my quad to do a 180 and roll back about 3 feet. Didnt do any damage to my quad thanfuly but i scraped my arum up pretty good from the bark. Also i though i broke my leg because when i was sliding into the trees my natural reaction was to put my feet down and my right let got caught between a tree and my rear tire. Leg is swelled up pretty good and soar. Thank god i was ok.

Spent almost five minutes getting the cob webs out of my head so I could drive again drove home very slowly and spent the next week nursing bruised ribs. Got new handle bar and a very healthy respect for the Suzuki LTR450 as I found right quickly how unforgiving it could be.
I finally joined the "I rolled my quad over club. Was riding on a gravel road of all things, we just had major rain storms that tore the desert up. There I was buzzing down the road in second gear when OMG 12 feet in front of me is a 2ft wide by close to 2ft deep trench cut across the road by the flood. Could not react fast enough to stop..Needless to say I did not make it through with all four tires down on the ground, I managed to hit the kill switch as the front end dug into the trench with the clutch in; however the impact knock my hand off the clutch and when I landed on the far side the quad stood full up in the air on its left front tire and then rolled onto its left side landing really hard with me still on the seat. I ended up sliding in the gravel for about 10 feet still attached to the quad on my left side. Thank god for body armor and top shelf safety equipment. managed to slide myself from under the quad, put it back onto its tires and drove away with only a few bumps and very sore muscles.

Anyone wanting to know about safety gear...FOX and SHIFT are the Bomb, I was wearing "SHIFT" high boots and Helmet, "FOX" Body Armor and gloves, "SHIFT racing grade riding pants and riding jersey. Got a small bruise on my stomach where I caught the handle bar just below my body armor and a small bruise on my left inner thigh from something on the quad unknown maybe the gas tank, other than that I got up and walked away with not one scratch or tear in the clothing.
