today i went rideing on my trails with my friend and his 07 suzuki z400.
once we were at "the clearing" we parted way. he went into the trailer park, but i didnt cuz the people there said not to ride in there on week days.
so i went around the field. then i entered the woods again.
a few months it was my idea to enforce some safty rules among us. to stop and listen were the other was at.

Well i didnt and i started down the wooded trail at about 20mph.

right as i aproched a curve (with bushes blocking the view) my view is full of yellow (suzuki).

We both slamed on the brakes wich helped make it less devistating, but with a big THUMP my heart sank.

It didnt feel that big, and we werent hurt at all. i wish i could say the same for the atv and buggy.

I was very impressed with how the Quad did. He only smashed his bumper. he let me keep the bumper as a token kind of.

for some reason today i decided to were my helmet. i rarly do, but i just did for some reason.

and i belive the seat belts saved my rear end. I could have broke my nose.

my friend kurt on the atv was fine. i dont think he got as much impact. his bumper worked beautifuly, and did its job well. his chassis was fine.

From the blurriness in some of those photos, it looks like you were still a little shaken up!

Glad to hear that no one got hurt - this is the #1 reason that I tell friends and family that I drive a buggy: the safety.
