Hammerhead has not been around lately since all of the rains started, so I asked around, checked some social media sites, his neighbor had a picture of this in his yard. Plenty of room for the Grizzlies.

Having trouble with my pic, maybe others have some more, check with his neighbors.

last week (9/22/15) I went on a little atv adventure on the outlaw atv trail (http://static.stateparks.utah.gov/maps/OutlawTrail1.pdf) with great effort, the trail has little that is not awesome, I was able to whittle 6+ hrs of video down a bit, the 7 parts can be seen on my you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcv…Ea2a9Ny6AqLZLw
could possibly be a good view if you have time to kill or insomnia.

Our ride to the Hallmanman Property on the DGATV trail system. We find some old bee hives and a decent mud hole to play in….

Hello boys.

Just came back from an AMAZING Annual 3 Day father/Son Quadding trip up in the Tulameen area of British Columbia. Beautiful scenery everywhere, especially with the fall colors. 4 Grizzlies and one Kodiak. All machines ran flawlessly on all 3 days. Love my Grizzly.

Ran into a guy with a 8 year old Arctic Cat. I asked him how he likes it. His reply was: "I hate this stupid f_ckn thing. It’s a f_ckn piece of shit. Yamaha is way way better". I was laughing my ass off.

As you all know, pictures never do it justice. But I hope you get an idea of how beautiful it was.

On day 3 we climbed up a mountain about 7000 feet over sea level (I know this is nothing compared to Ridgway’s area) It’s a great challenging ride to the top. At the top, you can see everywhere for miles and miles. We built a nice fire and just sat there and soaked it all up. Mesmerizing.

It truly was an amazing trip from start to the end of the night ride at 10 PM last nite.

After 5 days of riding in Taylor Park the poor Grizz was starting to look like one of those gals you meet at the bar right before closing time. With a few beers in you and in low light all looked good to go. But in the light of day and a clear head you look at the damage and say, "what was I thinking?" LOL! If you don’t understand my comparison send Ridgway a PM and I’m sure he has a few diagrams and/or pictures and videos to support this. Or google search beer goggles.

On the second to last days ride I was hauling the mail down a trail and jumped a woop only to find in my landing a large solid rock crushing right into my front glide plate. I hit hard and was probably lucky i stayed on the machine. I hit the rock square like a dozer. I was going to fast, and it was my fault….or should I blame RedRocket and rwreuter for leaving me trail side….but thats a whole different story all together! LOL!

Here are a few pics of the fix in progress. I Have a new glide plate on order and am thankful the glide plate held as well as it did. You can’t see in the picture, but its cut almost completely in half along the front. Had the stock skid plate been there I think the damage would have been far more severe.

I didn’t load a picture of the initial damage because the night i tore into into it the lighting was so crappy the pictures didn’t turn out.

here’s the glide plate….all in all it doesn’t look that bad.

here’s a couple of pictures of my welding job. the cross member was bent up badly and I straightened it as well as I could with the tools I have in my shop. If you look at the left side the threaded tab that covers the end of the round tubing on the front of the frame was completely pushed in and up slightly. which after straightening required me to fill in the gap with slag before they could be welded completely together.

here’s a picture of a chunk knocked out of my wheel from another rock at some point in time.

DISCLAIMER…..for all you fabricator guys out there I realize my welding job is probably probably average at best, but better than leaving it the way it was. After I got done I shot some black spray paint on it to avoid rusting.

All in all I was very lucky and after more inspection I don’t believe it affected my a arm mounts and was primarily cosmetic. So while the Grizz will look a little better once the glide plate is on, in the mean time if you meet her in a bar and offer a few drinks you could possibly go home with a blue grizzly 700 by the end of the night.

Met up with rick25s today and put on 44 miles. Great trails, we had a blast. The bill of my helmet is pointed downward too much, next videos will be better. Also may need to turn the mic up a little.
