Default the crash

I was riding behind my friend on his lakota sport down a dirt road near my house. I tried to pass him but he slammed his brakes and I hit him. I flew off my shee and watched it roll on me. I got some road rash on my ankle and a few scrapes and bruises but nothing serious. My friend had to lift my shee off me. I'm glad we both had helmets on. The good news is that all I need is a new headlight and a new headlight switch.

Very glad your OK, but whenever you are riding with someone, make sure you can have enough time to react even if they came to a complete stop out of nowhere...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

If your friend slammed on the brakes will riding down a road with you behind him, he must not be the brightest crayon in the box. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] j/k

THat is freaky, that is exactly how I wrecked at my local riding area, me and my dad were riding and when I tried to pass him he hit his brakes and I hit the back of the warrior, I flew VERY FAR and the quad did a flip and rolled. My damagae to the bike was much worse than yours but injuries the same. But the raptor is mint now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

Im just recovering from a bunch of broken ribs from my crash three weeks ago. Bent the upper a-arm heim and ball joint, bent rear axle, destroyed rear wheel hub , and a trashed new helmet I used for one ride. Sounds like you got off cheaper than I did. Was able to sleep on my "good"side for the first time last night. Glad to hear you walked away from your wreck. Dohhh, stupid braking.

That's the same way I rolled my honda on top of me.
He hit the breaks I tried to miss him and rolled off into the ditch and the quad ended up on top of me.
He needed to lift it off because i was pinned under it.

Glad to hear your O.K. . Did you ever find out why he hit the brakes?
