racinfarmer Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Take it easy this weekend and think before you do! A friend of mine died last night in a SxS accident. Not entirely sure of the details, but nothing good happens after dark when "speed was a factor." Don't want to hear of anyone hear with a similar experience. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 A guy I know said when he goes up country with his group, they get on the quads, and go as fast as they can. I said to myself, " Well that's one place I won't be goin' ". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepybrew Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 sorry to hear. i work for a powersports shop, and i only ride mountain bikes and sleds. but i work on and test drive everything. i recently worked on and drove an rzr 1000. i know there are faster out there, but this thing was unreal. i had so much fun driving it, but it made me think. this thing is dangerous. felt real capable, but if things went wrong it would be bad. i came back grinning, i enjoyed the thing but felt it deserved respect. i'm sorry you lost a friend, and sorry for the family as well. we'll all ride together again someday... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will deff be out for a extended weekend next week and it will be pretty dead out in the woods We usually stick pretty close to home too. Don't go on the lakes, don't go up north for anything, etc. For the same reason. We did take a couple laps around the lake we live by. I shouldn't be surprised at the number of SxS and golf carts, but I always am. It is almost like a prerequisite to having a lake place here.

Always hop in my SxS and buckle up, but no helmet. Guess I should think about that some more. He was supposed to get married at the end of August too.
