Blackdog92 2,047 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 My pal had made the fatal mistake of forgetting his quad was in 2 wheel drive coming down a steep bank and touched the brakes. His wheels locked up, bike started sliding so he jumped off and it proceeded to fly down the bank and into a gill writing it off. Luckily the only thing damaged and bruised is his ego so he will be getting a bit of stick about it over the next few weeks. Heres the outcome of said accident has anybody else had any accidents on there quads, preferably funny story’s rather than tragic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t think he was ever right after that accident. Think Ozzy Osbourne came off one too..., doctor’s reckon it might have actually done his brain some good. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Last year I'd done the ACL in my knee so couldn't walk far. I took the dog out for a jog beside the quad, put a tyre in a hidden ditch, rolled it onto it's side and broke my wrist. Quad and dog were fine though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sussex 5,776 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I was stuck under my one when it tipped backwards as I loaded it into the van with two deer tied to the back rack , no phone as I had lost it when I went into the river to save the dog a week before , 45 minutes later With the cold getting to me I put my hands in the jacket pockets to warm them up and found the smallest opinal penknife my mates grandson had given me because his mum wouldn’t let him have a knife ..able to cut the rope and drop the deer off I managed to get my leg out and right the bike ..part of my gralloching practice was to check I had all my knives and put them in the front box so I didn’t lose any ..the one time I needed one I couldn’t reach them ..the little opinal lives in my stalking jacket .. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,528 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I stood my 2wd one on its back end, only the dog box saved me from it doing a 180 with me underneath, didn't take a pic as concerned for the dogs, they were ok as well. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I am a quad instructor and only taught a course last week. We teach about 40 lessons on quad from basic maintenance to escalation of driving aids , body positions , failed ascents etc the list is endless rightvat the start of the course I take the lads out onto our airfield and line them up and we all gun it the full 3km of the airstrip at max speed . I find 99.9 %of lads when they get on they want to rag the f**k so to I get that out the way and they concentrate more afterwards rather than trying to be all sf we use Yamaha grizzly 450 petrols with a logic trailer. A mega tool for the job we need it to do but sometimes I can’t believe people can just get on and rag them all over without any type of training 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
