Fireball 440 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Sheriff: 40-Year-Old Man Seriously Injured In ATV Crash, Alcohol And Speed Contributing Factors Syndicated Local – WCCO | CBS Minnesota 3 days ago Was woman's mistaken death Lazarus syndrome? 15 Things You Should Never Leave in the Car Sheriff: 40-Year-Old Man Seriously Injured In ATV Crash, Alcohol And Speed Contributing Factors MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A 40-year-old man is being treated for life threatening injuries after an ATV crash Saturday. According to the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched at 11:55 p.m. to a residence in Pequaywan Township on the report of an ATV crash with injuries. When they arrived, deputies located the man, who was unconscious and lying on the pavement with severe injuries. An investigation determined the man left the area at a high rate of speed on the ATV and lost control. The ATV rolled and the man was ejected. Authorities believe speed and alcohol were contributing factors in the crash. The man, a Two Harbors resident, is at a local Duluth hospital being treated for life threatening injuries. The crash remains under investigation. His name is Jason H., I've been riding wheelers with him since the late 90's. He was on a ventilator for a while, he is eating on his own now. He broke his face/cheek bone. He was wasted drunk, no helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His injury would have been prevented if he'd been wearing one, but it's hard to drink and ride with a helmet on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time using the Bluetooth stereo in it also. Blasted 1980's mix the whole time. Forgot to mention it, but on our SXS ride Tuesday we met 3 Ladies riding in a Brand new Honda 4 place they just picked up that day, it was won from The Make A Wish Foundation, a young girl with no Hair on her head was riding with the other 2 Ladies, she was the winning Honda recipient, we inquired all about the MAWF, it was really an Honor to meet this beautiful young Lady. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoughnut Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I’ve been hearing plenty of people say that Poo sxs’s are Chinese garbage and a lot of people swear by Honda, Yamaha or Kawasaki. Why are the Japs so much better than the domestic junk? Flame away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be true depending on how they are used and abused, I've never owned a Jap Wheeler but have worked on all brands, seems to me they all have some issues again depending on how they are used, I replaced many Honda rear wheel bearings and seen 2 blown Yamaha engines , lots of axles CV Joints on all brands, and prop shaft u-joints..broken shocks too.

awful knawful Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Polaris I've seen quite a few issues. 16-18 grizzly engines, stay away. They fucked up one of the best overall bikes with outsourced engines. Japs are all pretty good. Can Am need lots of TLC, but are better quality than poo.

Yes the general consensus is that the Jap products are much more reliable than the Poo junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
