I'm a little sick to my stomach right now, I was letting my son ride the 110 around the yard and when he was done riding he thought he would park it in the building for me, wellllll, he didn't get it stopped intime and run right into the left rear fender and cracked it up bad. I just finished it last year too. Now I've got to start all over again. I would of gotten some pics{will tomorrow} but I couldn't look at it anymore tonight.:cry:

Oh man, another set was damaged today too? who?
My boy felt so bad after it happend {because he knows how picky I am around my wheelers} that he took all his money in his piggy bank and handed it to me and said he wanted to pay to get it fixed and I told him "no thanks, it was an accident" but you can help me when I start to fix them again

That shows hes made of the right stuff! If hes only 7 and realizes the value of tiger parts....and is willing to donate his savings .....tells me that dad has done his job well! Make sure junior helps you with the actual repair.......sounds like you should be proud of the way hes willing to take responsibility.....sometimes rare in todays world....Good Job Dad!

THAT SUCKS!!!, at least he is alright and understands what happened. My girls know not to even walk near my Tiger and is the only one they don't ask to sit on it. They have there own quad to ride, lol. Any way sorry to hear this.

yes sir, my tiger was the 2nd victim of that day! while making the move to PA the seat loosened up, and the seat and fenders went off flying on I81 near Harrisburg, when I got turned around to try to retrieve some of the parts, I discovered the seat to be torn and broken, but still fixable, and the rear fender to be completely destroyed! the largest piece was the size of the warning decal on the rear. so needless to say i was quite upset w it.
so i need to make or locate another tiger seat cover, along w a rear fender! so PLEASE keep your eyes open, EVERYONE! and take a minute to ensure you use locktite on those seat nuts!

Sounds like someone should pop a mold off a good set of fenders. Tuck the originals away and run copies.

yep that is definetly a shame to hear about both incidents, I know that I always worry about any of my machines fenders flying off so I always put a short strap from one peg to the other and let the springs in the foot pegs hold tension on everything, and I dont have such quality machines as others.
