as i type this post im typing with one hand. sunday while riding i flipped my quad while going nearly 55 mph. i broke my collarbone, fractured my wrist, and bruised 3 ribs. my quad looks worse than i do.

im typin this right know to remind everyone to always wear a helmet. if i hadnt had been wearing mine i would probably either be dead or a vegtable. the paint is completely scratched off of one side and dented in.

so guys, please always wear a helmet. this was a wake-up call for me. let it be for you if you dont wear a helmet.

Looks like time for a vacation. Glad to hear that you are able to "heal".

Mend up quick, for there are trails with your name on them!

ride hard, be safe

Helmets definitely rule!!! I'm glad youre OK. and good luck with repairing your warrior. I went over the handlebars on mine doing about 40 last week and wouldnt be writing this if didnt have my helmet on. But after that crash I am also investing in full gear. The money you spend on the gear will pay for itself in one crash of you not having to go to the hospital. Ride safe and wear protection.
