No I didn't but BLAZING did. We went riding up some powerlines last Sunday and he ended up limping home with a sore arm and a soon to be sore wallet. He rolled his 660 Grizz down a 35 ft or so dirt hill and ended up with bent (creased) handelbars and the top of the 4wd control box was cracked. I think he is going to get out of this kinda of lucky with only those two items damaged. Anyone else?

 

You forgot to add that my plastic looks like **** and I sheared one of the bolts off that held my switch for my 4wd o well it never cut off!!!

 

My buddy did but had rack extenion and rolled end for end and only bent the rear rack a little.

 

Blazing~

Egads man! Glad you're ok. Get any picks of the wounded bear? And I have to ask...how in the 'ell did you roll it and how many times...

I rolled mine twice, both front and rear racks got tweaked, and ran it into a tree, ruining the bumper. All this happened on one ride. The racs straightened out, and I built a real bumper [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Check it out in my pics [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I don't have any pics of the grizz she's already fixed, an old bar will do wonders on bent bars.. I think it rolled twice but the only reason it rolled is i didn't have a good set of tires not to worry that hill is mine this summer..

 

My son rolled our new Grizz into a tree going around a corner on day one.
Creased the tank, bent the handlebars. He was fine. We fitted it with widetrack Douglas wheels and Spidertrax tires in the rear, and moved the back tires to the front. That helped a lot. Then my friend Kas rolled it end over end just last week. He was going way too fast, trying to keep up with me on my DS, went around a corner too fast, locked up the brakes, was in a full brake slide, then, BAM! the front tires grabbed and dug in and over the handlebars he went, with the Grizz tumbling after. Down a very rocky hillside he went, sustaining a cracked rib and a mild concussion. His helmet was battered pretty good. I remember force-feeding him his helmet 2 years ago, now he says he'll never ride without one. Duh.
Bent the handlebars, and the rear rack, both easily straightened.
....I got to tell you though, the Grizz is top heavy. For the kind of riding we do, it's okay, but I think the new Honda Rincon is going to take its place....

 

Man I thought I was the only one who had rolled one!! Sounds like you need to start ridding your quad and stop letting everyone else!! Do you know how much new handle bars are??

 

I ride my Bombardier DS-650 most of the time. The Grizz is the Ranch ride. I use it to pull trailers around, as a loaner, search and rescure vehicle and for rough exploration. It has about 900 miles on it, bought it in June. Probably 300 of those miles are mine. My son also uses it when he rides with friends with utilities, especially if they go up in the mountains. The DS is better in rough stuff than the Raptor, but they both could use a granny gear, low first gear that is.
....To me there is no other quad that I have ever ridden that has the orgasmic rush of the DS blasting up a sandwash, powersliding through the turns. The Raptor and the Grizz are both great quads, but the DS is the greatest. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
