Well yeah, I was tuning my new little shock yfz setup, but during a drift session on some sandy part of the trail, there was a big hole and rather than jumping it, the wheel just dig in the hole, then stoped the whole atv, making him roll over. Well, basically, it's a driving mistake... my bad  :lol:

I was ejected, flying a little 10 feet long, lol, landed on my shoulder, which hurt a little bit, but not anything that will stop me  :clap:

Result is I broke my right headlight, bend my handlebar, but the worst is my costum made brake relocation bracket to clear the powermadd. I worked hard on her... :( I hope my buddy will be able to weld it ! It was made from cast aluminum, that I made myself. I melted the aluminum from old alternator casing in a pot, on the fire... then I worked it to the final result, well 5 hour for a broken product lol at least it's the bracket that broke, which mean it acted as a fuse  :thumbs: I know it's only 10 bucks from ROX, but I was UNIQUE  :'(


Here's the broken headlight, i'm trying to repair it with epoxy I'll give it a try... If it falls off again it will be a new one... it's like 60 bucks here.

And my bent handle bar, which was 2 week old  :mad:

It would be nice, but I wonder what flexx bar would have become after that little "crash" ? guess i'll never know and I don't want to try it out - again - . Anyway I don't have the $$$ for this right now...which is why I try to repair my broke parts... 
I'm a bit tired of those misadventure.. Last week tire... today handlebars/headlight...

Will I be able to put ONLY gaz in the beast for one month ? Please give me a break ! :(

I'm still getting use to the raptor as I was used to ride a low powered/extended axle Warrior, which was nearly impossible to roll lol.. well, never happened in 4 years ! Beside that, I like everything of it :)

Well, I have an hydrolic press where I work, and I bend it back like it should be, just less esthetic, but it's "straight" now, but thanks for the offer anyway :thumbs:

Always glad to hear people help each other here :)

I told you I was going to go throught this steering stem mount... give me time, maybe 2-3 other rolls, I might be good to change it  :rofl:
