Fireball 440 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I never wore my seatbelt in my SxS until I filmed this video of how much I bounce around all over the seat. I wear it every time now, and it keeps the game wardens happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Always wear the belt, but not helmets. The other couples we ride with all wear helmets in their SxS . I get the feeling they don’t approve, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing I know where he was having a few pops at because that's mostly where I know him from. I also probably know where he hit or swerved for the deer at. Railroad grade I'm guessing and banks are pretty steep on the sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see, like in fireball's vid, it would be very easy to bang heads if you had a passenger as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just fucking retarded not to wear a helmet in these pieces of shit.......they fling you all over the place and handle like a bag of fuck. It doesnt take much of a knock on the head to change or end your life for good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until a deer jumps out in front of you and you swerve to miss it, or some drunk fuck t-bones you... Why people dont wear helmets in SxS and /or on street bikes is just plain stupid.

It's none of my business what you do, but good luck with that. Shit happens at a lot lower speed than 35 sometimes. Just saying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzman Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'd say they're doing about 35 MPH here... They were lucky, but the chick did hit her head... Could have been worse.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whipping through the trails at 100 is probably safer than riding in one of those rolling piles of ill handling faggotry......fucking things are like trying to pilot a wild whacky action bike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I think a Explorer doing 80 and a blowing a tire, is more stable than some of those SXSs? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
