Griz Overturning
#12
Rolled my 660 for the first time Monday doing donuts in the middle of a dirt road. Too much tire pressure for that narrow setup. Scratched it all to hell, but didn't break anything.

Two friends bought new ATVs, a Grizz and a SP 600. They swap bikes and they both agree the Grizz feels way more top heavy than the Sportsman. They have both kept them on all four wheels so far. My friends SP 500 HO feels way more top heavy than our Rubicon does.

I almost had my outlander come over on me... I was going up a rutted hill and my left rear tire slipped into one of the ruts and the right front came up.. If i would have had wider tires it wouldnt have happend..

My bud that I ride with has a grizz and he has a hard time side hilling but on stright hill climbs we fare about the same. He has toppled over 3 times now on side hills where the rest of us have no problem. I also ride with a Rancher, Rincon, and Rubicons and the Rancher and Rubicons climb excellent. I think they really shine in the hill climbs with the lower stance and solid rear

I rolled my Vinson when the front came up on me going up a small steephill. I bailed to the side in a sitting position when that damn 600lbs zuk rolled over me in stead of downhill. I felt 4 pops in my back and proceded to stand up. The immediate pain in my hips and lower ribs dropped me. To make a long story short. My buddy loaded my quad and i drove home and then to local hospital where x rays and ct scans shows i had a 100% crushed T12 verte. I had to be lifeflighted($11000) 9 hours under the knife ($120000)yep thats right,now i have one less rib which was used to reconstruct my T12. It coulda been worse i was not wearing a hemet and i had bone fragments pushing into my spinal cord. This just proves on a hill you may have climbed 50 times before always be prepared and were that helmet. Laying in that hospital bed after surgery with tubes in my lung

Wow Jactup sorry to hear about that. I guess that shows how easy it is for things to go wrong. I guess things could have been worse. I'm not sure where New Paris, PA is but I just wondered if you were Lifeflighted to Geisinger hospital in Danville PA? Are you fully recovered now?
