I also use a kill switch teather ( don't like to chase the quad around after I fall off I just like to lay there for awhile and think about how stupid what I just did was) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Wow, pretty much the same gear for me (including the Army BDU pants, yet and less hand protectors). After reading this thread and a few other threads on the topic, I think it's time for me to buy a chest protector.

Gloves if I'm on the grizzly... (unless I'm at a pay to ride place... Those are the places I wear the helmet/goggles because of the hill climbs and fast trail riding....) otherwise it's mostly mudding and slow trail riding... no real need for much.

on the yfz... If I'm out to ride it hard...
helmet
gloves
goggles
riding pants
riding shirt
riding boots
knee pads
(need to get a chest protector... I just don't ride the yfz much)

did you ever mention you had insurance??? If so that the reason hes sueing you. Whats this world coming to people will sue over a penny. If anything countersue him for the deductable and any expenses you are out on you are out. You'll get him on wreckless driving..... Oh yeah and attorney fees


as far as protection
Untill 3 weeks ago
Helment, googles, riding boots (you can shift just fine once you break them in) and maybe a long sleave shirt if it was cool enough.
Know waiting on the chest protectors after watching my buddy flip his yfz 450 on after he cleared the 25 foot table top. he got two broken wrist and some reall bad bruised ribs. I've broken a rib before and am not going down that road.

If in the deer woods
My bow, i go to slow to hurt anything
