i was riding my viper last night going through a picked soybean field and i didn't know that my father drug a tree through that field between now and our last snow and the tree made a small dirt pile and i was going about 75 and then i see this small mound in the field in front of me and i try to swerve but i still hit it with my ski and it was about a 1 foot tall mound of frozen dirt under the snow and i didn't think anything of it and rode back to the house and then i was thinking those guys on ty said those trailing arms are pretty weak and i looked down and about cried my trailing arm was bowed out a little and it cracked the paint off on the top of the arm does this count as a wreck because i have never wrecked anything before besides hitting the hind leg of a coyote with the ski of my 99 cat can i still say i have never wrecked anything or does this count

I wouldn't call it a wreck, just a wake up call as to what can happen. Just think if you would have hit it straight on.
 
gotta respect the machine, thats always what i believe in... they're awful powerful and your right out there if your ever in a mess...
 
YEP IT COUNTS :eek: :cry: But.....


..Don't worry about it just leave it or fix it, sooner or later you know that had to happen..........


....Now that you got that out of the way, YOU CAN GO BACK TOO RIDING :WayCool:
 
fixing and painting the arm today all i did was run over a little 1 foot tall mound of dirt in the field and it bent my arm i personally don't think that should count as a wreck
 
Its not a wreck, sorry to disagree with you guys, but that is not a wreck at all. Its just one part, but possibly the Radius arms and place where the trailing arm pivots on the running borad might be slightly bent, but just replace those and away you go. I hit a rock before going a walking pace and hit it as i was turning, and when I did that, the place where the trailing arm pivots to the runing boarb bent, right there in the running board, but did not dammage anything else.

Not sure if you should be fixing the arm, Id just replace it, or fix it now and replace later.
 
nope i hit right on the ski and all it did was put a slight bend in the trailing arm and bent nothing else my dad owns a body shop so we straightened it welded it up a little ground it down put some body filler on it and painting it and it will look like new when we are done and will perform just like if it were new
