Default Rolled Reptile Blues

I'm a fireman in So. Cal, and last nite I went on a call of a guy that rolled his 3 week old Rappy down a rutted out, steep, fireroad. He wound up with a possible busted ankle and ligament damage to the legs. The Rap wasn't so lucky. The stock bars are made from hardened butter (mine lasted until the 1st get off), and they were wrapped around his tank. The lights now look to the sides instead of straight ahead. I believe 1 of his front shocks curved like a banana. And worst of all....his plastic went through a cheese grater! Lets have a moment of silence for the wounded beast and it's owner. Haz

I made sure and sit for about 10 seconds before I posted a reply. I am glad your friend is ok, but Im sorry about the rap loss. Maybe some how he can get a warrenty fix or some kinda insurance $. The frame could be bent too....

This guys family had to get it down the hill after we backboarded him down...I shoulda stayed around for the show, but duty called. Man, was I feelin for him. Bones are an easy fix (insurance and time), but justifying parts to the boss...I think I'd rather die. Mike
