Wow, so I took the quad for a ride tonight and wow did it ever take my for a ride. After climbing the hill that my buddy said was super steep I was catwalking at the base and was going pretty quick let it down only notice that the edge of the road ( bear main) was like 5 ft away and flew over the edge. I landed about 20ft down the hill to tumble for another 20-30ft only to have the quad land on me and mash me between it and a tree. My poor quad kept going til it was like 160ft away from the road. After the brother brought like 200ft of tow straps and rope I rode it up the hill being pulled by my brothers truck. It is mangled. The handle bars are in where the gas tank should be, steering stem is right screwed, rear plastic is cracked pretty good, rear grab bar toast, reverse switch bracket broken, bent brake lever, and might have a slightly bent wheel hard to tell yet. I am fairly good shape lots of scratches and my shoulder is sore. Ugh my camera had to have a dead battery so couldnt even take any pics to show just how far down my quad was. It took about 180ft of straps and rope to start pulling it up.
