Today I had a half day of school so my friend and I decided to go riding. Well the first hour of riding I was riding a wheelie third gear through the feild, went too far back and hit the grab bar, and flipped over sideways. I got up un-hurt and flipped my quad back over, I looked at it and didnt notice anything wrong, but my friend pointed out a 6 inch crack on my back plastics. So we went to his house and got out the heat gun and a flat head screwdriver. Melted the plastic back together, then dremeled it smooth. It held up all day after that and looks alright for now. I plain on getting some epoxy and trying to polish it out real good. He said he will try to take some pictures of it tomorrow, and I will get them up soon. Other than that I had a great day of riding.
