Living in hell right now.....

An atv chases you but you can get away from a bike.

also dirt bikes seem easier to balance than an atv. i know that might sound weird but that's how i felt when riding them at more than 25 mph

Thanks for the well wishes. the frustrated and pissed off side of me wants to go hire a lawyer and go after their ass out of pure principal....but I'm not normally the sue'em type, and I know that would likely just open up an even longer drawn out painful process that I really don't want to enter into.

Once I'm better I'll just fix it and sell it....with what I'm going through right now I think I'll probably sell my RZR too. They've been fun and I've had a good run, but I'm thinking I need to get back into a jeep or bronco for my offroad escapades.


Funny thing....I've been through some pretty aggressive places on our ATV trips up to the mountains, even did a 250 mile trail ride once over several days...never got more than a torn jacket and some scrapes.....here when I do have a serious accident, it's right behind my house and on a pretty common flat surface....go figure. It does happen when you least expect it.

I definitely think that you have a solid case for litigation, I'd see if a lawyer will take it on contingency. If they do that affirms that they think they can win, and you aren't out anything of it doesn't pan out.

I definitely feel your pain, I broke my leg due to a design flaw in the operators BCM (brake control module). It's been almost 4 years, I still have mild pain in my knee and ankle, and only got about 85% movement back in my ankle. Same with my wrist from a streetbike wreck over 10 years ago, though the pain has subsided considerably more.

Here's to a speedy recovery, and I hope you fair better when it's said and done.

Get well soon, Jason. If there's anything I can do, let me know. I have Mondays-Thursdays off.

Did she ever get any money out of Clorox?

Just signed the settlement paperwork and sent it in yesterday, actually.


Hope you recover quickly-that sounds like it's going to be a bitch. Glad it wasn't worse!

[black2002ls]

I'm not the sue happy type either. However, the fact that they refused to recognize an issue with the older models shows negligence on their part, and something should be done

[crapstang]

ATVs are all fun and seem to be the shit until you wreck. Hope you recover quick

Dirt bikes are easier to jump and handle small tight trails, but overall four wheelers are easier to screw around on. My KFX700 is very tame compared to a dirtbike but it can get out of control quick if you ride it hard.

OP I hope you get better quick as it sucks to have broken bones. I will say as I get older the less chances I am willing to take in the dirt. I still love to ride but screw getting hurt. Guy at the track one day was trying to get me to follow him thru the doubles he had just put in. He kept saying they were no problem yada yada and I just laughed. Next time I saw him three weeks later he was in a back brace. He had nose dived into the landing on the doubles and broke his back. F a bunch of that. Bad when it happens and then really bad when you are old and can not get around anymore.

i will admit my atv experience is limited but i personally felt way more comfortable on a 220 pound dirt bike vs my buddies 700 pound atv(polaris sportsman 500). i mean it was cool at low speeds but to me it starting feeling a little sketchy once i got above 20-25mph. that's just me though, i would ride either one if someone is gonna let me

My Kubota RTV has (had) that dynamic braking feature when new... it would nearly throw you out of the cab if you let off the throttle too quickly.

I purchased a special valve kit from a guy on ebay for 150.00 that eliminated about 90% of that BS. It's much better now.

Sorry to hear about the accident Jason... get well soon.
