Flipped the YFZ450...

I wrecked on my 450 today..stupid me on saturday i did every jump on the quad track. Then i was allowed to run on the motorcycle track..and i even did every jump on that

. The 80 ft double and the triple on a STOCK quad. And only a few can actually do this 80ft double. And i am the only one to clear the triple. I can't believe how this thing runs out of the box.

Then on sunday i was flying on the quad track and i went around the sweeping corner in 4th gear pinned..and since they had just watered it was real slick and i slid out completelty sideways. Then i guess it just caught a rut and i flipped. Talk about the worst pain i have ever felt in my life. I landed flat on my back, well now i have brushburns all over my back and *****. That ended my day. o well.

Damage:
Tweaked subframe (fixed)
Bent front Bumper(fixed)
airbox cracked
front brake lever
bent tirod

I can not even begin to explain how much power the 450 has. Still can't wait to get new a arms, swingarm, etc to make it come alive!!! This will be the perfect race machine when all these aftermarket companies make crap for this.

Someone looking for this?

I cut the background out, so the image is a little rough ( I have to save it as a .gif so you can upload it and when I do the edges reduce in quality somewhat...but they usually turn out decent..

Here is a copy of just the cropped image.
