my buddy rick and i took out 200x's out onto the ice today, studded up and ready to rip!!! ice condition sucked!! lake was frozen 7-8 inches BUT it frose, thawed some than frose again so most of it is real rough and choppy, the channels/ rivers are smooth, except a few spots that have water/ slush on top of the ice,
seen about 10 utility quads out, a banshee with fmf silencer with no end caps on them whippin on a mid 90s artic cat sled ( funny seein a sled fightin to keep up with a quad) and herd what sounded like ether a big bore 250r or lt250r rippin down a channel, seen a bunch of sleds and a few trucks out on the ice.
after a few passes across the lake and down the rivers as far as we could we made our way over to a gas station to get some gas in my machine. i get to the top of 5th and look back and my buddy is standing next to his machine about a half mile back, so i spin around and head back over..
turns out it got loose on some smooth ice and he high sided and flipped it 3 times, busted his rear fenders up, busted his exhaust, and landed HARD on his right shoulder/ arm he rode 1st gear about 2 miles back to the truck,
he just text me from the hospital, he ripped/ tore the muscle in his arm/ shoulder that moves your arm up and down, thats all i know so far waiting for him to text back on if he has to get surgery or not.... and he also said $200 takes it sooo i think he is gonna sell his 200x now.. i hope he dont have to have surgery if he does that will knock him out of work for a while, and prob riding for the winter!
so if he sells it for $200 im gonna pick it up for the wife, sucks its gotta be like this but its got $800 in new parts, all it needs is the exhaust fixed and now plastics.
update.... he tore his clavical (sp?) and wil be in aneck brace 24/7 for 2 weeks tell he sees thedoc again than they decide of need surgery or not. . he cant even drive his truck, since its stick so i offerd him my car tell he goes back to the doc..
