[Honda300ex]

O.k. about a weak ago i went riding around on the road to do some wheelies but then i started sliding around on the gravel. But i was sliding off the gravel road and whent on the the pavement my 300ex went up sidewas I tried to lock up the brakes but it was to late i was in the grass off i fell the bike rolled over me and rolled 5 times into a 35ft deep holler(large ditch, small cayon) It was pitch dark around 8;30 with no moon and when it rolled the light went out so i could not see it. So i climbed up out of there and ran to my house told my mom what happend. My dad works 7 to 7 nights so he was not home. So i took my sister car to see if i could see it with the headlights no luck. So my uncle came over and i took about 5mins to find it. where we found it a little tree about 3" in diamiter stop it from droping down into a rocky creek bed. I ran down to it jumped on it lights turn on and it started up the only thing that happened to it is the handle bars bent some. We had to pull it out with my uncles truck that took about 45mins and a logchain. We got it out and i rode it to my house to look it over more it had alot of vines on it and stuff. But it was all o.k. i was releved that my dad would not kill me. Then 2 days later i was doing some dounuts around on wet pavment then i hit a dry spot and over i went pavement will eat your fenders bad. It still looks got and runs perfect I say long live HONDA!!

I've only flipped 2 different times.
1. Once I flipped my TRX 125 over backwards riding it up a tree in my back yard (it's a beater and I was showing off).
2. Also on my TRX 125. A couple of weeks ago I was riding it up the ramps into my truck, didn't want to run into my 200x that was already in there so I was easing up the ramp slowly and stopped a little too short. I hit the gas and the ramps fell and so did the TRX. It flipped right over backwards on the pavement in my driveway.

[TRI Z Racer]

the fist night i had my tri z i took it out in the field across from my house.
i was taking it easy for a while then i wanted to really play, it was getting dark, and i didnt have any headlight, i wanted one more lap. i was going along the straight away and i hit a bump at the exact same time i hit the power band in 4th gear. it was a wrist throttle so when i snapped back i pined the thing. needless to say i flew back cracked my helmet on a rock, ripped alot of skin of my leg from the tires and knocke the wind out of myself. my bike somehow landed right side up and rolled halfway across the field. it had stalled but somehow the silencer got ripped off and thrown off to the side. and i cracked the plastic a little under the seat. well anyway. thats just the beginning of my horror stories

[Tecate performance]

I was riding with 4 of my buddies some trails that went along a major highway. So there's this one hill thats right next to the road, maybe 30 feet above it, and the trail runs along the bottom to another trail that goes up another hill, about 40 feet more. We all start taking runs up the hill, which wasn't too steep but rocky, and the last guy in the group got a little impatient and didn't let the guy in front of him clear the hill before giving it a try. Well he gets about 3/4 up the second hill and the guy in front stalls. Last guy, on a 95 honda 300 utility, hits his rear brakes and flips the thing. He jumps off and the quad starts rolling end over end down the first hill, over the trail and down the second hill fullbore towards the highway full of traffic. Luckily it got caught at the bottom of the road's shoulder where there was some drainage rocks. But it was still only like 15 feet from the road. It landed upside down and was pretty ed having blown the beads off the rims. But in typical Honda fashion, we flipped it over and it statred first try. Then we nursed it home before the state troopers came looking.
