Title: Busted my A** literally at PAX
Post by: yfz450runner on July 06, 2006, 11:50:01 PM
I was at PAX TRAX on this past sunday. i overshot a jump by 5-10 feet or so. I landed on the grab bar and then fell off and the quad took off and flipped 2 times. I landed on my a** and busted my tail bone. here is a pix of my quad.otherwise i had a great time. Pax is still my favorite track.cant wait to get better and get back out there!!!!

well just got the news! my quad has been totaled. i have insurance on the bike and had the adjuster look at it. its frame is bent in 6 places and a host of other problems have been found. luckily since i do have insurance they will cut me a check and i will by a new quad in the next few weeks. but i dont know if i want another yamaha or a suzuki or possibly a honda. i guess i got some thinking to do, especially since the 2007's are coming out soon. but regardless i will be out back out there soon. later!

the insurence company paid me and i now have a new white 2006 yfz 450. i got a great deal at Orlando Yamaha and Kawasaki on SR50 east of 417. they are blowing out the 2006 450 for a great price. talk to charlie he will hook you up if you want a new bike, but if you just need parts talk to my good friend josh at the parts counter and he will hook you up too!!!!!!! just a couple more weeks and i will be better and back out riding again. see you all soon!

ok thanks. i am getting a 450R so i want insurance on it (especially if i race it). i cant just pull 6 grand out of my pocket to fix a bike or buy a new one. i will look into that.

the only problem with insurance is, if you are in a sanctioned race, the insurance company wont cover racing. you can ride at any track but if you total your quad in a race your out of luck. better ask the agent specifically about racing!! good luck with the new quad.

Hey, do you want to sell that wreck for parts?

Or did the insurance company keep it?
