DVgirl Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 i completlly agree it was the rails fault. i was just stating what this thread turned into. i agree this thread is for charlie and i have already donated Dang, maybe everyone here needs to re-read the Forum Terms and Rules!!! Bless Charlie and his family, wish him a speedy recovery and spend more time donating to them then bashing everyone involved. Let Charlie and the guy that hit him take care of their own business. We can't presume to know what their personal situations are - nor that of the owner of the vehicle. Everyone involved got hurt in one form or another. Let them work it out.

dannygraves Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Made my donation. I agree that most people don't pay enough attention. infact I was riding with someone last weekend on a bike who rolled right into the path of a bunch of rails. I ride a bike and realize I'm the little guy out there, but it is also harder for me to stop, get going and turn that the guys on 4 wheels, so I do appreciated it when they are nice enough to let the guys on bikes go. But that being said I always stop for the simple fact that I can't expect people to stop for me. I was riding behind sand saw last weekend, we were trying to avoid the crowds and rolling some bowls when all of a sudden a mid-travel 4 seater came strait up over the razor back with his front wheels turning in every direction and his kids screaming and nearly landed on top of sand saw, but instead landed between us directly in our path. if the timing was slightly off, one of us could have gotten the chopper ride. not cool! There are too many people going out that are so into being cool and showing off their $100K rail that they forget how badly they can hurt a guy on a bike or quad. just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptNkllm Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 and for capt do you carry insurance on your quad to cover my rail???? i doubt it!!! No i dont BUT if i did smack your rail and it was my fault I would man up and pay for it...period. Now the question is would you pay 9,000 dollars for my quad if you smashed it? would your insurance? I really dont think I could hurt your rail as much as you could total out my quad in a crash. If that was the case and i was screwing around and I hit you I wouldnt have a problem Paying repair costs.. Now do I do dumb stuff that causes accidents? NO!! if I crash then I would more than likely get real hurt so I dont mess around to much on the quad. 500 lb vs 3000 lb which you think will win?

sanddunesaddict Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 All you guys bitchen about rail drivers are a bunch of whining pussies. We have to look out more for you guys then us so until you can get your heads out of your a$$es and quit having tunnel vision I hope you never get hit. I was almost hit 6-7 times in my tracker this weekend. They would come from behind and swoop in front of me almost hitting my bumper. I ride quads just as much as I drive the tracker or when I had my car. People these days dont give a flying fk where they go or what they do.
