happens, if you want to have fun riding it, you gotta kinda expect stuff to get broken. Seems like I break or wear out atleast one thing every outing.
Better the machine to be broken than your brother.
I remember my friend not being behind me when out riding way out in the woods. I stopped and took a piss and heard nothing and got real worried. So I turned around and headed back. He rode up to me and told me he had crashed and went flying off into the woods. I dont know what I would have done if he had been hurt bad. No phones then and no service anyway. I could not image trying to ride back with a dying or severely injured friend on my quadracer.
