DUDE THAT SUCKS

[PLEDGER#76]

About 2 years ago I was using the cheap tie-downs and lost my sons brand new lt80 off the trailer cause of the cheap a$$ tie-downs, since then it is only the ancra tie downs that I use, so I know how you feel I have been there...Sorry that it happened to you too!!!!!

[1FasterBlaster]

I got lucky. A tiedown broke after I went across some R.R. tracks. I stopped at a light and saw my quad sitting sideways.Fortunately, there was no damage!!

[klutchbuster400]

sucks, but in a few years you guys can look back and laugh at this!

[fastrnrik]

Laugh in a few years? I'm laughing now. I'm laughing with you though, not at you. I thought I was the only one this kind of thing happened to. Good luck with your repairs.

[strtrcr06]

Yeah that happened to me too, no major damage to the atv though. The atv rammed into the back of my dads truck.

good tie downs and enclosed trailer prevent stuff like that from happening or loseing them  sorry about ur luck

[snowmanzz13]

the tie downs were great and we never had problems until this, and we think it broke because it might hae been tied down over one of the grease fittings on the lower a-arm

[gery350]

ouch. i think i would cry if that happened to me.
i was wondering what kinda trailer cause i have an open trailer wih 15" sides and ramp/gate so
the atvs would have to jump 15" to clear the sides.
my son even asks me if tie downs are necessary.
i'd rather be safe then ..................(you)

sorry for your mishap.

[snowmanzz13]

they were in the back of our truck, one was backed in and the other was pulled in behind, but we pulled the front of the blaster onto the front of the bombardier and the tie down fro the front poped and the tailgate was open so it just "flipped" out of the truck

[rubicon500kid]

dang how fast where you going ? where you on a main road
that sux that this happind to 2 nice atvs

[SpringHill Riderz]

Dude that sucks so bad.  Im confused on how it was in the truck, was the Blaster in the bed of the truck and the DS on a trailer?

EDIT: never mind I get it, but were you on a main road?!

[snowmanzz13]

we were coming home from ocala on the turnpike going about 85mph and my dad looked back and just said sh!t and i was confused, he pulled over and backed up and it had gone from the south bound lanes to the inside shoulder of the north bound lanes, and this guy pulled over and helped us get it back

[unvme2420]

same thing happened to me. 2 brand new out of the box bear trackers on a trailer doing 60mph then lost them of the trailer.

[snowmanzz13]

  ;Dthe bombardier is completly fixed except the starter relay is broke, and the blaster is waitin on the front spindles and were upgrading to disc brakes insted of the drums, but the sad thing is, that stuff is supposed to arrive the evening that i'm leaving for two weeks, so that means 2 weeks without being able to see my quad helpless or any progress being made on her to get back out on the trails

[cheropride]

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery, know must stink having atv's down that long.....

[snowmanzz13]

the front end for the blaster is scheduled to arrive tomorrow evening!!!!!!!! i'm extremely excited!!!!

[snowmanzz13]
