Wow! So it was a perfect “story” trip! Lots to talk about, good endings. (Except the repairs, of course.)

We’ve been very lucky!

So were several other people on yesterday’s ride. Besides my husband’s ball joint, there were broken handlebars and a bent tie-rod.

But no injuries!

Wow, Shan, have you guys been lucky with the ATV accidents! I know being smart plays into it (hope you enshrined that pink helmet ) but luck does, too, and I’m grateful!

Knuckleheads! That’s a great one!

Ironically, the only time I’ve come off my machine and gotten hurt, I wasn’t going fast enough to register a speed on the speedometer. I’s special that way.

And I pull him in the for the hug and pinch him really hard once he’s been squeezed.

Glad he CBA* on LFD ride. And yes, I know all about the litany of curse words we have to let loose at them when husbands do dumbass things on their machines. You don’t know whether to hug them close or slap the ever loving shit out of them. Probably both.

My friend and 84 year old neighbor rides his to check his cows. Last summer he hit a rock going way faster than 40 and went for an in air loop de loop. His machine landed right side up with his hat sitting patiently for him in the seat.

NOT my idea of fun.

Glad he didn’t damage anything more than his 4 wheeler. Men.

My husband has a Polaris Ranger for working around the farm. He moves out in that thing so I can just imagine your “big boys” playing like a bunch of knuckleads.

Have to say … love the asshole to zipperhead comment — I am so adding zipperhead to my favorites!

Happy day after black Friday and hope you saved enough money to fix that wheel. It’s hunting season. Our dealer has like a three week backup in the garage! I can see your hubby pouting now.
