Two atv wrecks this weekend..........
I finally dumped my atv Saturday doing a third gear wheelie and our buddy had a bad accident today.
We was riding Saturday and everything was normal. Went out into a field and yanked it up. Went 1st throught 3rd, about to shift into fourth, and it rocked onto just the back right tire. When it did it spun around and dumped me off of it. It flipped a few times and came to rest on the handlebars....I got up alittle slow but came out ok. Have some road rash, and the fourwheeler has a bent rim, bent steering stem, and handlebars. Also fudged up my left headlight. Not too bad considering the speed and the amount of times it flipped(I rode it today). The helmet saved me from a trip to the hospital because I didn't even know my head hit the ground.......
Now today when the crew was on the way home, one of our buddies atv's blew up with him at wot(pieces flying everywhere and actually caught a grass field on fire)....it locked up the wheeler and he ended up hitting the pavement with his head. He wasn't wearing a helmet and now he's getting airlifted to Memphis with multiple skull fractures and multiple places bleeding onto his brain. Please pray for him
Out of about 15 wheelers riding today, I was the only one wearing a helmet. The four by guys think they don't need to wear one because they're not on a sport bike, but I'm just trying to show everyone that things happen even when you are acting normal and not a fool.
I hate that they all think its uncool to wear them, but this type of thing happens all the time. Please be safe out there guys!!!

It blew the side case clean off of it.........it had a big bore piston in it and it's been making some pretty bad internal noises. It shot fire out both sides of the engine when it went
