Rolled my rig this weekend
« on: November 09, 2004, 12:14:09 PM »
Went wheeling at a new park http://www.dandkoffroadpark.com/index.html
It is in Manchester,KY about 20 miles east of London. It has some long and steep hill climbes. After busting my 2nd cv joint I decided to keep on wheeling. I unlocked my hubs but kept the transfer in 4low and things went pretty well for a while. I was following my brother in law up a hill and got stopped on a rock. I tried to back down and slid into a rut that got me crossed up. We tied a strap from my bumper to the back of his buggy and when I gave it gas it just went on ahead and rolled on its top. My exo skeleton kept the body damage away. It was an easy roll but it was my first so it had me pumped up! We got it back on its wheels and I backed down the hill and kept on wheelin'..............
If your in the KY area I definately recommend riding at this park. Its 3100 acres of privately owned land. $10 bucks a day to ride. The owners are some of the nicest people I have ever met!!

Later,
Bill

you killed one cage (cv) but another saved you.  ;D

isn't that usually what happens, people go out wheeling, expecting it to be good, seeing as its a new park and all, then bust a cv, oh well, unlock the hubs and keep going...... well until something else happens, like rolling.   ;D ;D ;D

same as me, i guess we're all the same, i busted a cv with in 10 mins of being off the road, and still, i kept going, and see what strife it gets you into. huh, unstopable!

luck for your exo, wish i had one, or at least something on the inside to protect me.

Sounds to me like somebody just wanted to test out his exo-skeleton ;)

I'm glad it worked :)
