Never let your fat *** friend that rides a 400ex hop up on your new rap 660 with him thinkin he can handle the power... about 2 hrs ago.. he said he wanted to ride it around in the yard for a min.. so i was like.. sure fine ya know you break something you buy it.. so he gets on it and does some wheelies, then tries to whip it around in the yard.. the tires dident break lose and he ends up goin off the back and flip flip flip goes my quad.... broke the grab bar.. bent my new handle bars all to s***... and bent the stock pipe up. yep... and he said it wasent his fault because i had the tires low.. thats how i ride.. i ride with the tires low so they dont wear on the road as much.. so i finally got him to agree to give me 50 for some bars, and i was gunna look up how much the grab bar was.. and i told him not to worry about the pipe cause i have dual hmf's on the way.... so what you all think about that? lol.

That sux! Its hard to say no to a friend that wants to ride your quad. Its always nice to set the rules before they hop on it. Good thing he didn't get hurt. I would at least get the bars paid for.

i'd make him pay for everything, if you flipped his quad what would he do?my friend crashed my wife's new trailboss and bent the frame now he has to pay 1700.00 for a new frame. he's not to happy but if you break it you fix it, is just what it mean's

That blows. Some people gimme a hard time about being over protective or whatever about who rides my bike. Moments like these are my reason. But gotta question...Dual HMF? Haven't heard of or seen these yet? Or do you mean LT?

After making sure my "friend" was OK, I would have beat the crap out of him.

Now, since this dude was my "friend" he should have volunteered to spend the $$$ to get my quad fixed as it was before he got on it.

Bottom line...if this idiot was truly your "friend" and went ahead and did the right thing, which was paying for the damages, you would have not had to make this post!

With friends like that, who needs morons?

First off, never let anyone ride your ride unless they actually have a job or some type of income means to pay for fixing damage. We all know kids will do anything to keep from asking their parents for money to fix someone elses quad. If the guy is your friend with income means, then I would definately not consider this guy a friend any longer, if he does not do the right thing. Maybe he has some parts that are a little to shiny and defect free on his atv? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

yea i let bout three people ride my stuff and that is my dad, mom, and a good friend that ive known since 4th grade that rides with me. one time i let this kid who i knew fairly well ride my atv he said he knew how to ride it but he didnt at all. he revved it up in nuertral to redline and the jammed it into 1st. needless to say it flipped backed on him and bent my grab bar and scuffed up my plastics. then he started cryin and told me it was my fault kause i didnt tell him how to drive it when he refuseed my help. his parent baught me new plastics for the whole atv [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] and a new grab bar. the next week ats chool he was tellin everybody how he did a wheelie on my 4wheeler[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img].

Same thing happend here with my older raptor, my "friend" popped a wheelie, broke the taillight, wheelie bar was broken, the exhaust tip too, and bended the exhaust quite good(which was a Yoshimura, had to pay $250 to replace it), to finish it off, he didn't pay me crap to fix it![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
