Mountain 1 Warrior 0

[bbbthreat]

Superbowl Sunday started off with a nice ride and ended up with my Warrior taking a plunge. Ah, the joys of California trail riding in the mountains. Hit a soft patch on top of hard pack while turning, except the kept moving in a straight line rather than turning, i.e., no traction. As a result of not being able to correct for this fast enough, bike was going off an embankment. I ditched it, not knowing what was on the other side, which was 150 ft drop down a steep hill and lots of bolders. Took 250 ft of tow strap, a truck, and five buddies to dig it out. Here's the damage, and after I just got in a bunch of new parts for it too. :-[

So all in all, the damage was 3 bent rims, a bent and twisted frame, bent light bar, scratched plastic, and a bent axle. Just got a frame off of e-bay for $175 which is good, but this is going to be 4-5 month project to get enough money together to put it back together. Enjoy your guys ride, I miss mine already.

damn, thats a bad deal. good thing you ditched it, i dont think you would be repairable like the warrior.

holy **** mollie....you were telling me about this and i didnt think it was that bad. That sucks. I hope you do good with it, if you have the money/parts in hand it shouldnt take longer than a couple of days. I rebuilt a compleat warrior in less than a day and half but we had all the parts and the time.

Damn good thing you ditched the quad. Sounds like a bad crash. Hope you get it back together soon and get back riding.

that sux dude....good thing you didnt ride it out...that would have hurt....

 

[93warriorridr]

wow thats bad. look at that axle lol. you're really lucky you bailed and i hope it doesnt take you too long to get her going again.

 

[98warrior]

That sucks so bad man, Since you bought a new frame I would save the money and have it powdercoated.

 

[98warrior]

I hate to laugh about it but i just read the title of the post...thats funny

 

[bbbthreat]

S'all good. The mountain kicked my ass! ;D Oh well, I'll get even in a few months. I'm going to even the score!

BTW you guys all seem to be really happy with your HMF exhausts, figured nows a good time as any to start saving for a new exhaust. Where's a good place to get one? And does anyone have a stock head pipe they'd sell? I know this is the wrong place to ask, but figured what the hell.

 

[warriorspeed350]

[bbbthreat]

Damn! dude, That sucks!!! It's a VERY good thing you bailed, and i felt bad for my self cuz I dont have my quad, lol dude, Good luck for the rebuild, maybe this time it will be even badder!

 

[laraptor350]

[hillclimbingrecon]

Shop, it wont spark!! lights come on, it wants to turn over, but just doesnt, spark plug is good, fuse is good, i THINK it might be either a cdi or coil.... Hell probally just a loose wire! what do you guys think it could be? dont mean t o jack your thread

i got my off ebay for a little over a 100 brand new, its freaking amazing just looks right now, i havent put mine off yet, still trying to get a title. Just check ebay. I would sell you mine but im afraid i would never find a deal like that again.

 

[bbbthreat]

Thanks for the tip for ebay teamexile, and don't even worry about it. Appreciate all your help.
