I've only had mine since April. Haven't crashed yet...
But I do tend to drive like an old lady! Hahaha I've have too many crashes in the past and I tend to take it easy nowadays!

Well, I have done 2 front flips on this, one where the machine didn't flip, and the other where it did, fell off doing road wheels, flipped it atleast 15 times, and the worst that has physically happened to me was catching myself on fire and getting a stage 3 burn....but still ride for another 4 hours cuz I love to ride.

I fractured 2 arm bones, right ulna and radius the third week of June. I rode into a ditch coming around a blind turn and took the force onto my right wrist. Broke the ends of the bones. I needed surgery a few weeks later with 3 pins on the end of the radius to put it back in place. Still in a cast with the pins sticking out of the skin under the cast. Pins should come out in a few weeks. Oh and don't worrry the quads fine!

I broke my right thumb, a few weeks ago. Hit a log sticking out on the trail while topping out 4th gear. smacked it pretty hard. My xx took it like a man, bent a rim and a tie rod, any other quad would have been seriously busted up.
I've had several quads over the years, and, as of yet, I haven't broken any bones or been injured at all on them. I ride pretty hard, but I guess I know when my luck is about to run out. I like to keep it that way. Also, my motivation for not wrecking, is that I have to pay to fix whatever gets broke. Being in aviation, I can't work with a cast on.

Went full tilt sideways on the snow last winter in third, just in time for the dry pavement. Planted me and the bike on the cold hard road. Only bruised my right shoulder and sprained my right ankle though. Some road rash on the fenders, bent the steering stem and handle bars.

Yeah I went riding this weekend and fell off a sand hill. The bowl at wiggins. What had happened was it started raining and I was driving on it sideways and fell. Next thing I know the XX is running me over and I broke my hand what a great day of riding. Also bent my bars pissed about that one. The hand doesn't cost me anything the bars cost me money.
