so today i crashed my 1993 arctic cat jag on a "culvert" it was more like an underpass for cows and i didnt see it until i was about 2 feet away and landed in snow on the other side. i went over the handlebars and wen to the hospital. when i got the sled home the bars where pushed up almost like handlebar risers. do you think this will weaken the steering column? and i also want to cut the wind shield down..any suggestions?

Dam dude as long as your ok i wouldn't worry about the sled.

 

[bokeson]

yeah i guess

From the pictures it doesn't look like your windshield could get any lower![beatup] Hope you feel better.

Cheap insurance.
I'm positive your hospital bill will be more than one of these.

ha. i took my windshield off a few days ago so i could cut it down and make it black but im glad i didnt have it on there at the time of the crash. i could of gotten hurt worse. i found out when the paramedics and cops came one of the cops didnt even want to come over by me because he though i was dead :/.

"Is he moving?" "I dont know...Poke him with this stick.." *pokes with stick* *bokeson Twitches* OMG! he's ALIVE! lol j/k man! glad you're okay! hopefully you can get the sled going again soon, before the season ends. i hate culverts i almost fell into one on my snowmobile as a kid. was riding a yamaha Ovation and the only thing that stopped me from falling in was me jamming on the brake at the right time. it was like a good 6-7 foot drop so i'm glad i didn't go into it.

Lesson # 1 - never ride fast in an area you don't know

 

[bokeson]

i knew the area well. i had driven there many times but there were no markers around it until i crashed then they decided it would be good idea to put up poles..

i knew the area well.

Apparently not that well... Otherwise you'd have remembered where it was. [thumb]
