MotulMonsta Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 So there I was...NO shit..riding in the woods having a blast when ALL OF A SUDDEN a little kid on a honda 80 motorcycle come flying around the turn!. His dad was right behind him on a 400 ex...Needless to say I saw them coming and slammed on the brakes...but the kid didn't see me and cut right into my lane....Well I did all I could..Damn near missed him but my bumper cought his swingarm or foot..Don't know but it hit somthing and sent the poor boy flying. I ended up having to cut in to avoid a head on, then weaving back out to avoid the dad. Couldn't find any damage to his bike, but his foot was fucked up..along with a nice dent in my front bumper. Lesson to learn...Always check turns and STAY on your side of the trail...you never know who's coming around the berm. My luck It was a kid..Kid's luck it was a MX race ready banshee on a joy ride. I feel bad for the kid. Quote
banshee04le Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I feel bad for the kid. But hey, like you said...shit happens :flame: Quote
SICK BOY Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Was the dad cool,or was he yelling because his kid got hit? Quote
FoxBansheeRacing Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Same thing happened to me at my local track. This little kid that was probably about 5 or 6 wasnt watching where he was going and ran into me twice. Luckily we were both only going about 5 mph so he didnt fall off the dirtbike. Then the dad comes over and starts bitching at me because I ran into his son who wasnt paying attention to where he was going. Quote
MotulMonsta Posted March 16, 2004 Author Report Posted March 16, 2004 The funny thing is that the Parents were all pissed at their kid for for hitting me. They were all nice people. I offered to pay for the damages seeing as I was the older of the two involved but they said no. So I helped them load the bikes and they went on their way and I went back to riding. Quote
banshee76179 Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 Good deal.. The theme now-a-days is SUE SUE SUE! But, people out on the trails r pretty cool some what! Quote
FoxBansheeRacing Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 The theme now-a-days is SUE SUE SUE! Couldnt have said it better myself. I had a burm that was a few feet away from the property line in my yard, and my old 80 year old neighbor came down and started bitching about it cuz he said I was gunna go flying over the burm, wreck on his property and sue him. He also wanted us to move our trampoline farther away from his property (it was 5 or 6 feet away). Of course we said no, this is our property we will do what we want on it. A week later we got a letter from his lawyer saying if we didnt move the trampoline and knock down the burm he would take us to court. A few months after all that was settled, there he was again, complaining because my raptor was too loud. We kindly told him if there was a certain time or day he didnt want us riding we wouldnt. His response was "thats not good enough". So we told him to f*ck off, we tried to be reasonable but he was just an ass about everything. Quote
