Madera Pa Ride(along)

Postby Wildhorse800 » Tue May 05, 2009 7:18 am

Not even 5 minutes into heading out we hit a tree and the steering shaft broke. Dealership helped us out on this one and we were back up and running in 2 1/2 hours.

And in the river...

..And what happens when an Outty 800 makes the hill, but there is nothing on the other side(I know you know where this is going)

It was definitely a day of a few problems. Rhino steering shaft broke, Grizzly lower control arm popped off(guy hit a log) and then Outlander mishap. No one got hurt so it was just property damage. Alls well that ends well! Very soon there will be a blue Polaris in these!

I was just a rider/mechanic along for the ride. I guess the Rhinos ride and handle better with two people. I hope I was invited because he wanted me there! :wink:
Seriously, a really great group of people.
