Star, I just about called you this weekend to see if I could rent your wheeler for the day. We were over in BRF and my POS 99 died again, well just is running crappy again and not charging and the fan won't run. Very big downer for guys weekend with 8 other guys. That thing is getting sold and I am getting something new!!!!!!!!!!

you should have called me - I would have just come and joined all of you for the weekend - I bet I would have gotten more riding in than I did.... not a good weekend for me.
Sorry to hear about your POS....Popo.... Mine was the eXact way....until I sold it. MDMA in Menomonie, WI is looking for used quads....

So, I am out of the loop. What happened to BS? Something serious?</end quote></div>
We headed up to Danbury, WI Saturday for a ride up to Salon Springs about 70+ miles, one way, early Friday night. (july 12) It rained about 2 inches & come Saturday morning the trails were mint.
We got to Danbury about 9ish, unloaded, & took off on some of the best trails I have seen in a long time. The ride up to SS was very fun. Later in the morning/afternoon it started to get dusty. Big-Sled (BS as we like to call him) is on his 700 raptor, me on my kfx. We were about 14 miles out of SS on are way back to the fishbowl(trailhead where we started). BS was going to lead on the way back b/c my gps skipped a beat & I lost some of our track up to SS.
I came around a corner & saw a dust cloud that was just a bit bigger than I have seen all day. I slowed down a bit & to my shock I see a girl laying in the middle of the trail. I think to myself in a split sec, "wtf R U doing in the middle of the trail???" A split sec later I see a guy standing about the same spot, just a few feet from her. Again, I was like wtf?? Next thing I see is BS's quad facing me sliding backwards. I stop, get off my quad, & I cant find BS.
At 1st I could not see him, He was behind his quad about 15 feet in a heap; his left foot by his left ear, right leg behind him (like in the splits), face down in the sand/dirt, unconscious.
Now, I know I'm going to have some say that "I should have not touched him." But when I saw the puddle of blood ooze out from around his boot & he started to choke & sounded horrible, I knew I needed to do something.
The kid on the grizzly was on his feet (but w/ a broken foot). I yelled @ him to help me w/ BS & hold his head while I set him up. As soon as I got him upright, he spit up a lot of blood & started to breath better and come around, so I yelled @ him a few times to squeeze my hand & to tell him help was on the way. This is the worst accident/trauma's scene that I have ever witnessed. I thought my buddy was going to die!!!!!!!!
The EMT's arrived on the scene, stabilized BS and the girl, and flight lifted them to Duluth. The girl fractured her left shoulder in a few places, and her boyfriend, who was driving, fractured his foot. Thank God BS did not break his leg or hip; however, he has a torn ACL and other knee damage. Also, he figured out how to fit his big mug through his opened faced helmet and break his jaw bone, give himself a black eye and some check fractures.
Actually, he is quite better looking now! LOL
When BS hit the grizzly, his raptor tore off the front tierod/tire/driveshaft/shock and pushed back the left running board to the rear tire. BS's raptor's longhorn bumper was pushed down, and back to the left into both A arms, and bent the left shock into a banana.
When I got to BS's quad, it was in third. No idea about the grizzly, but no skid marks from either party. The grizzly was way in the center of the trail. BS's left front tire (if there was a yellow line he might have been just on it).
Not sure what will happen with all the legalities, I'm just thankful everyone is alive.</end quote></div>
That really sux. I know some people that who not only don't wear helmets, etc but often have a beer in one hand while they are riding...
