HellStell same thing happened to me, after my first and only service, except when I went down my Raptor got my tailgate so bad it would not even close. Not to mention that the whole store saw me do this. I guess my 51" wide raptor doesn't fit to well in my S-10.

The first day I had my new 2001 Warrior, I hit a fence post. It was one of the big anchor post things too. I hit it at about 30 or 40 mph. Luckily all I did was smash the bumper and get a bruise on my stomach from the handlebars.

My first quad was a 97 bayou, me and about six other people were standing around when on of the guys told me I couldn't knock over a tree about 2.5" in diameter, well i could do anything, so after not being able to knock it over in first, I got a run off in about third and hit the tree, in broke off at the base, but then it leaned against the tree behind it, making a very steep ram and sending my bayou up the tree. There was no damage to me or my bike. plus I got the tree.

Here's another: I was shipping my Scrambler down to the states in an 18 wheeler so I made a ramp to go from the back of my trailor up to the box of the truck. I decided to go nice and slowly... big mistake! Those suckers are higher than I thought and unfortunately I made my ramp out of some 1/2 inch chipboard sheets. Lets just say that 2 layers wasn't enough and with the front wheels in the truck the ramp snapped! If I were to have fallen back I would have most likely knocked myself out on my trailors rear end or worse. Dangling 4 feet in the air I leaned on the hood and hit the 4x4 button and barly made it. The worse part is that I had the truck do the pickup at my local mall in front of a restaurant where about 20 people were looking and laughing at me...
