In effort to get some variety in here (mainly I'm tired of all the politic posts) this thread is mandatory to post something in if you open it. I don't want 2 replies and 80 views. I'll start.

My most funny or in this case embarrassing time I had on my quad was at Croom. I was with a few friends in the pit when my friend pointed out a nice looking specie of the opposite sex riding on what appeared to be a honda sport quad in the middle of the pit. So good old heterosexual me decided to get a closer look. b:r Well on the way out there, there was a little burm that was made into a jump. So I position the quad for the jump and when I hit it, it tilted the bike at like a 50* angle. Feeling the bike was gonna land on both right side tires I leaned heavily to my left. Well the front hit first, hard. My lower ball joint poped out and the A-arm pressed on the rim acting like a brake. The tire went completely sideways and I went flying over the handle bars like a scene out of move Matrix.  Needless to say, I didn't get to see her again that day. I'm glad I didn't as I'm sure she saw me. lol.   :L -Mark

Who's next?

I was a river ranch riding with da_mtg_man and few others, we were going to the rope swing and following the river. One part of the trail goes real close to the river in between a cliff and a tree. i was so busy watching the cliff that i forgot about the tree. My right tire started heading up the tree and i almost flipped it. Wasnt funny at the time but now i just laugh about. Stupid Noob on a quad!

The scary part about that story is that it is like a 25-30 ft drop right into the river. There is litteraly NO room for error between this tree and the drop off.

As far as mine, I'm still thinking which one I wanna post.  ;D

well it wasnt me but it was a friend of mine his lil cuzin wanted to go riding with us and he said he know how to ride so we put him on a lil lt 80 nad first of i know some thing was going to go wrong when he hit me right when we strated off it nocked me of my feet but no harm so the we r riding next ot a canal and i was on the other side muding and he looked but he kept going and fliped in to the canal it was so funny he wasnt hurt it was just so funyy seeing him come runing up out of the canal when he saw the gators lol and then the week later he did the smae thing lol and that was the last time he went riding with me lol

Well this didnt happen to me but i was there, last yeat at the pumpkin run we took our banshhes with paddle tires. along the course my brother got stock by a log on the bottom of the frame lifting the rear tires up enough so it wouldnt get traction. right about the time he flat nailed the gas these two girls with no helmets pull within a foot from his rear bumper... im sure you can guess what happened! those paddle tires threw a roost of mud and water on them two girls like i have never seen.. they were muddy from head to toe! i bet they didnt pull right up to someone stuck in the mud again!

Now thats funny

Id have to say heading out on a trail at Rodman dam I was followin da_mtg_man and all I saw was him flying down the trail and his rear tire rolling past him. Then to top it off caospop and his daughter were there and while mike went back to the trailer to get more lugnuts his 2 kids spit on the ground and manny's daughter said that she wont spit because "Boys Spit, Girls Swallow!" It was hilarious, manny didnt know how to respond and Josh and I just walked away.

not me but.........
on time we were riding down a dirt road with a canal next to it and this cubanito guy we met upwtih has a 110 3 wheeler and went ridin with us. well we were riding down the canal road cruisin when along comes this guy on his 110 passin us . well he got to close to the canal and went flyin in. lucky those 110 float(upside down) i guess you had to be there.

Why does everyones story start off with "It wasnt me but this friend of me"

they dont want to admit it was actually them, lol.

one time at band camp... opps nevermind ???

I watched my buddy flip his rancher end over end at the deep trail pit just west of Big Scrub. He was okay, a bruised ego is all.

I'm sure there are more... but these are the ones that have stuck in my mind for years....


A few years ago my friends and I were riding down the street to go swimming at the lake. My old house was on Lake Harney in Geneva (Seminole County), the area floods a lot so there are 5 foot deep ditches all along the roads. My friend Stevie was doing a wheelie on his brand new 400ex (first year they came out with the yellow ones). I guess he forgot that the road was curvy and wheelied himself right into the ditch... the ditch that was filled with water due to it being rainy season, lol. Needless to say we were laughing so hard our sides hurt... and lucky for him we were able to pull his quad out and get it started a few minutes later... but not before pouring water out of the airbox and God knows where else, lmao.


A few weeks after that my best friend and I went to go for a ride down the street... at the time his 300ex had a broken front shock (he had to sit on the left side of the quad in order to turn it, lmao). On the way back home we're haulin azz down the road... I happen to look back just in time to see him not make a turn and fly into the ditch... thank God it wasnt rainy season, lol.

Sounds like you better fill that ditch in lol  ;D

Ok there was this one time at MSG in the porta pottie.  I wish I was just kidding about that part.

Last weekend at MSG I went to use the porta pottie.  It was after dark and I couldn't see anything inside.  So I sit down to do business and all of a sudden I feel something like a large rain drop on my inner thigh.  But it wasn't raining or wet and nothing was dripping inside.  So I wipe my hand by my thigh and feel cold wet something that seemed to have skin.  I frantically starting flapping my hand across my thigh not sure what had just landed there.  Heard a thud and realized it was one of those little green tree frogs that had decided to jump up on my thigh and get friendly.

Lucky frog

You actually SAT down in a porta potty?? Did your momma teach you anything!!!??? You're supposed to HOVER over any public toilet, lol. Ewww God... thats almost worse then sitting on the toilet of a gas station.. you just dont do it, lol.

At least it was a frog though... and not anything else... I'm sure everyone has seen some nasty things in porta potties, lol.

It could have been your prince and now you'll never know.

It was our private camp porta pottie and I didn't see anyone other than us use it.  Also FYI- I used a cleaning agent before anyone got there and cleaned the seat.

I still dont know how many people heard about this. First time i got to ride was at Ida Mann's cabin. Awsome place. Well we were playin in a pit and there was a hill and what not and then like a hill trhat was like so /\. It was me, nightbreed, mrs nightbreed, and my thug nasty brothers. Garrett(slow450r), Chad(bigred400ex), Trevor(thehouseofhorsepower). Well i had been riding the quad for a good 10 mins or so and gone up this hill a few times. Well it was starting to rain we didnt care or make anything of it. Well i went to go up this hill again and get the front tires of the ground some. Well it was all going good till the downslope. I came down from the air but the rain washed away some dirt that was covering some roots. Well my left front tire caught that root and jerked the quad to the right climbing the wall that was to the right. We still holding on saying ill ride this one out. Well i rode it out till she flipped and i did a face plant and got a rear tire to the back and handlebars to the head. needless to say i was fine got up flipped the bike over and rode off like nothin happened yet everyone swore i was shaken up.

Now that I opened it I guess I'll have to come up with something...

Ok I've never done anything funny on a quad...  Oh but I did find some alien drawings out near Las Vegas with my uncle.

i have 47 wrecks so yall stop me whenever ;) and i was there for all of them :(

lets see.............most embaressing.............ah ha! well i just got my 450r and my brother- n-law just got his 400ex and we were out riding in the resivior (sp) which was about a 1000 square yards of dirt, no trees, just dirt! well i ran into my brother-n-laws new quad with my new quad and the whole family watched :-[ i was gonna do a power slide and spray him with roost but being my 1st day on the quad i didnt realize how much easier it was to slide and BANG! MY PRIDE WAS DEFINATLY  :-[

OOOOOOOOOOOO WAIT! there was that ride with IDA MAN and freinds when i just fell off the quad and watched it roll accross the road as Hollywood chased it down :dunno.gif

then there was that time (when i first started riding tracks) that i hit a step up jump at air dania and had the seat hit me in the butt and.................watch the video :lecture.gif

A couple of years ago me and two buds from work were riding a pit and don was riding a barrowed quad from the other guy (brad) and attempt to climb a steep hill well at the top panic sat in and he stopped 4 feet from the top and froze there.Slowly the frt lifted and I mean slow and the blaster and him fliped back wards 3 times and at the end he landed on the wheels and still on the bike. The funny part it took him  2mins or so to look slowly back at the bike owner to see his reaction to flipping brads bike, but  me and brad were laughing so hard we were crying.

WOW. Were you ok after that? :tsktsk.gif




 Or :R Were you ever ok?

Well my funniest story that i can think of was when my dad and i were riding at croom and then he went up one of those steep hills were you cant see the ending, and so he went up and then it went straight up like four feet.  And so he stopped and put his sportrax in reverse and slowly backed down.  As he was backing up he leaned forward and acciedently hit the throttle.  So he  was speeding down this steep hill in reverse and so he slowed down a little but by then, he was at the bottom of the hill. At the bottom it had like a slanted wall and then a 90 degree turn and back down to where i was, so he hit the slanted wall and it tipped the bike over. He fell off and then the bike started rolling at him as he was rolling down the hill running away from it.  Nothing happened but in the end i was lmao. 2:L

YEP! I got right up and did 2 more laps before the end of that practice moto and then went out for the next 4 motos after that! i didnt even feel it ;D

one time I was at my friend justin's house (raptor426) and I was riding his old bike around. it is a scrambler 400. well we were seeing who could do the longest wheelie well he went, a good 30 feet or so then I went, well I have to say that was one of the best wheelies i ever did about acroos his whole yard but since the scramblers are automatic by the end of the wheelie i was going about 40  mph so I ht the back brakes but they didn't work and a fence was coming up so I let off the gas and hit the front brakes right before the tires hit the ground. When the tires hit it threw the quad up on an endo and i flew up over the handlebars and faceplanted into his front fender. It was funny though didn't get hurt. ;) ;)

some good stories! keep em coming ;)

lol.... Little tramp..... Just kidding Manny. I died when I got back and they told me this story.

Now that was good times right there! LOL   :R

somehow you left out the part of trying to do a one-handed wheelie?

all I remember is Honda328i finally catching up to me in the front and pointing backwards,,,,I looked back and saw Dreth on one side of 316 and his quad on the other side,,,,,for anyone that knows the main roads up there you will understand how odd that would be ;-)

Id@

well we were at the hump and the was a tree a small little bit of land then a deep puddle.i made it on the land then when my friend went he flipped into the whole on his dads foremen the hole was deep then my friend got off his friends bike and tol my other friend on that bike to sit right there then he accidently hits da gas and flipps into the hole on the other side so i ended up pullin them out and ridin the recon back and them ridin my bike thats towin da formen

unfortunately noone was around at 11pm or so when this happened near my place in Ocala, but here goes.

There are some whooped out trails that normally I would just jam the gas and lean back to get over them,,,well this was right after all of the engine work was completed by the then-new company called ATP.  Mike told me, you need to go break it in before you ride and ride it some tonight if you can but BE CAREFUL.  I listed, but not good enough and I did my usualy when I hit the section of whoops.  The quad did not do it's usual, instead it's nose pointed at the sky and I was thrown off onto my back to gaze at the stars.  The quad has so much low end tourque that it continued without any throttle input for about 1/4 mile through the brush and I had to pick myself up and go chase it down where it stalled.

Id@

Well i have many of them. but this one is the scariest and the funniest?

the family and myself were at the squares(like march of 04) we were at the little track that was out there. i was riding my wifes rancher at the time(before i got into sport bikes) she was on her brothers foreman and the kids were on their quads anyways, we were hitting the track sideways to catch air off the lip of one of the turns. i had already jumped it numerous times, yes on my 4x4. low and behold i go to jump again and i hit it a little off so the bike is going to land very awkward. so i try and shift my weight but this is a heavy bike before i knew it the front tire hits the ground i get thrown off the bike over the handle bars and here comes the bike and it runs me over. needless to say my wife freaked out my kids were screaming there were other ppl there that came running to me to see if i was ok. after the bike ran me over i jumped up and was like doooh! i had to ride the rest of the day with the tire track on the front of my shirt.

This story is painful to recall, but here goes.

Way back when, my brother and I used to have two 1982 ATC 185s'. Over the summers, my family would travel to our vacation home in North Carolina right on the edge of a large preserve which (at the time) allowed off road activities. Well, my brother and I would spend the majority of our summers riding those ATC'c all over the mountains.

One thing we enjoyed was trying to ride along the century old logging trails that crossed all over this property. The trails were very narrow (usually less than eight feet) as the only thing traveling them when used were mule teams and draft horses/oxen used to drag the trees out of the forest and to the saw mill. Needless to say, 100 years of growth made these trails very tough going. In many places we were forced to go around large obstacles such as trees or wash outs.

On one such occasion, my brother and I were probably 5-6 miles back into the woods and trying to open up one of these trails when we came across a large and ancient washout. to get round it, we took our bikes down the mountain approximately 100 yards, crossed the washout at a better place and then proceeded to try to climb our bikes back up the mountain to the trail.  This is where it gets painful.

For those of you who don't recall, the old 1982 ATC 185s had a gas cap with a vent valve. You had to turnt he vent to the on position to keep the fuel flowing to the carb. These vent caps were notorious for leaking and on this day, my leaked.

As I started to climb up the mountain on my bike, I leaned way up and had by head over the bars. As I leaned forward, the bike bumped, spun and tried to make it up the hill. I figured I would probably have to get off and push (which I did), but I wanted to try and climb as far as I could without pushing. While leaning forward and climbing, gas was constantly leaking out of the cap and all over the steel tank.

So picture this...as a person stands on the pegs and leans forward, the person's crotch often comes in contact with the area surrounding the gas cap. This usually isn't a big deal until you introduce gasoline into the equation. Get the picture?

Well, in my haste to climb the hill I managed to drench my private parts in gasoline. Given the fact the skin in those areas of a person's body is quite sensitive, the raging burning sensation and acute pain set in almost immediately. I was hurting. Bad. Real bad.

Lucky for me, North Carolina if covered with all kinds of streams and creeks flowing with ice cold and clean water. Knowing this, I ran back down the trail about 1/2 mile to a small stream, took off all my clothes and laid down right in the middle of the stream on my back with my head facing down stream so as to maximize the water's contact with my now excrutiatingly painful genitals.

I laid there in that stream for probably 30 minutes and then washed out my jeans as best I could. Once the burning pain subsided, I put on my underwear (the jeans still had too much gas in them), hopped on my bike and made the brutally bumpy ride back to the house. Once inside, I jumped in the tub and soaked some more.

My injuries were limited to blisters in all the wrong places. As a result, I had to wait a couple of days before riding again. However, prior to doing so, my Dad drove me to the nearest Honda dealer and picked up a new gas cap.

The moral of the story? Gasoline and genitals are a painful mix.

Well five years ago, before I had my own quad I borrowed my friends suzuki 230 2x4 with detatchable front light. There were a group of 8 riders. We come upon a pit with a bunch of dirt mounds, probably 15-18 feet high. Everyone started climbing up and going over the mound. After about ten minutes of watching everyone else do it, I finally said hey yall, watch this. I proceeded to get a running start go up the mound and all of a sudden I stopped and then it just came right on up and over and over and over, I jumped off of course and by the time I made it down to where the bike landed I saw the handlebars all bent up and the $230.00 dollar light smashed beyond recognition. Needless to say I don't borrow quads anymore :D

I was at dadecity raceway back in the early 90s. On the start of practice I was lined up against the wall on the straight away. I was first to take off and I pop a wheely and hit the wall made a jacka$$ out of myself. Then at a track in tallahasse I was coming around the front section were the spectators stand and I lost it, went right into them. I hit the banners and the banners got stuck around my neck pulling me off the bike but, my foot was stuck in the nerf bar nets has so with the a twist trottle you apply more gas while being pulled back accidently. So while this was going on spectators were running and getting hit, my neck took a beating i had a 10inch scar on the front of my neck. It wasn't fun going back to shool that following monday. It look like a tried to comment suicide even my adminastrator call me to his office to guestion me about my life problems. The owner of the track call me banner boy after that!

lol

well when i used to br big in to dirt bikes it was my first time on my friends new cr85 and i was having so much fun on it and he was on his dads xr650 well he came next to me and gased it and i wanted to do the same and i pulled in the clutch and shifted to 3rd and mashed well i hit the power band and fell flat on my but.
then when i was at my grandmas house i was trying to mowe her front yard and there is a gully where i have a lil hill climb thing set up well i was mowing and i was backing up and i acdently hit the gas and i went down the gully and  the lawnmower fliped and i land donw by the road and that was the most scaryist thing in the world now the funny part was that some how it riped my bathing suit and every thing was exposed ( i didnt know this for like 2 mins ) and every body was making fun of me.
then wehn i had my dirt bike i was trying to show of to some hot girls and i was doing some tricks and some jumps well i went to do a stopie and i hit the breaks to hard well it was like slow motion and i fell to the side and went right in to a ditch

YA, SHOWING OFF HURTS SOMETIMES :'(

cuz the chicks dig it lol

One time, at band camp......


I switched my handlebars on my 450R with a 50R so that I would have tiny handlebars to do some heel clickers off the kicker ramp at Durhamtown......

LESON TO BE LEARNED: Although the smaller bars allow for easier clearance during free style tricks....they don't quite support the weight of a 215 lb man when you case the jump.

It was pretty embarassing when they folded like a soft taco.

I'm glad it wasn't in front of a big crowd.

YOU SAID TACO ;D

Ummm... I was there! And certify all he says is TRUE.
 
You just don't ever forget a friend "almost" beheading
himself.

Glad you survived that one and all others trx#9

Dano

Oh man.That is so funny storyies the one with atc story in nc.You must been
burning for days on that one.


I done some dumb things when i was
17 on go kart here 9years ago in mcalpin :Clown.gif.I crash into tree one time at night,and jump off at 45mph on dirt grass road with helmet on during daylight hours and got up and chasing after go kart down on dirt road going catch it go kart rolling down on road (lol) :R.And playing music for one hour in headphones and i had stop the go kart  and the thing was smoking on 5hp.lol :Clown.gif

I will never do that again.And  I used do powersides and spins on it in dirt and sand.It was so fun back then. :)

I always thought that was just one of Dreth's latest tricks, trying to swap bikes in midair with Hollywood while in motion!  ??? 

Here's one from last year.  While riding with Joshintampa, 1Scorpion and josh's buddy Troy at Croom, we decide to let Troy lead our ride for a while.  He was doing well until he decides to ride down a wash out, at high throttle.  Luckily, he ends up strattling it half way down, and stays upright while we all laugh on.  Now try having a place to stand while pulling this bad boy out.  Then he expects us to help him get his bike out!  45 minutes later, WE did.  The morale of this story:  Never let a banshee lead the ride  :)  He deserved the roosting he got after we got through with him.  The dirt in his wheels is roost!
