Well,that's a Honda .Go try and do that to Another bike
Talk about bullet proof,
How did Uu fair out? any injurys to mention.
As a hobby I repair wrecked quads. In the past year I've had an '03 Rincon that went off a mountain end over end more than 300 ft. Frame was not bent. All the plastic, racks, handlebars, and pod were crushed. Less than a $1000 in damage. Then an '01 Foreman was hit head on by a pickup truck, didn't bend the frame on it either. Just front plastic, rack, bumper, A-frame, and Knuckle. under $800 in parts. So I quess Honda does build tough machines.
That's how you can tell that that is a Honda,if it ain't screwed.
just a bloody nose and a stiff neck my helmet took most of the beating
good news on the helmit, guess I had better start wearing mine again,
I laid my 06 over on its side a couple weeks ago, on a rocky trail. Dumped me off, bruised my hip and elbow a little, injured my pride a whole lot,
bent the rear rack and scuffed up a couple fender flairs is all, all fixed now. I replaced the flairs from Bikebandit.com and bent the rear rack back while still on the bike, I am still a little tender.
Hoonda Tough..
Aaaaaagggggggghhhhhhh................I knew there would be a helmet issue

...............thank God for freedom!!!!
yeah as the back rack came down on my head i realized it was a good idea that i wore it i almost did not no one else i was riding with had one on
it did dent up the the silver skid plat on the front still not bad for a end over end roll
i would have to agree with that. last winter riding with a fairly large group for a now yearly winter run, us guys in front were cooking along to keep up with my cousin with his new outy 650, we came over a hill in the woods with a tight corner at the bottom and found that there was ice half way down the hill into the corner the hard way. i side swipped a limited ed. polaris 500 h.o. with my 500s, i got thrown off my machine, but only had a scuffed the right front fender trim and lost a couple of plastic rivots.
the polaris got fixed right up after about $2300 of repairs. thank god for the insurance and helmet.
MAN YOU ARENT LYING ABOUT A HONDA BEING STRONG, NOT EVEN A WEEK AGO ME AND A BUDDY OF MINE WERE RIDING THE BEACH DOWN HERE AND WE ENDED UP SOMEHOW GOING HEAD ON INTO EACH OTHER, THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENED TO THE FOREMAN WAS A BEND IN THE SILVER FRONT BUMPER IN FRONT OF THE HEADLIGHT AND ONE OF THE SCREWS ON MY HEADLIGHT CAME OFF, SADLY TO SAY MY BUDDYS YAMAHA HAD TO BE TAKEN HOME ON A TRAILER BECAUSE OF A BROKE A-ARM AND KNUCKLE, AND TIE ROD.
I had a brand new 2004 500i Cat and I was out dicking around in the snow. Hit a rut and pushed front left a-arm back resulting in a bent frame; I have hit anything and everything with my Honda's and nothing ever happens. They are tough
same thing happened to mine when i rolled down a hillclimb just a bent lever
havent forward rolled any of my hondas.. tipped the 350 over while along side train tracks, thats it..for now.. the summer is upon us who knows whats goina happen

glad to hear the hondas all right!!, o yea and you ahahha

Chris
I bent a tie rod this weekend and drove that bitch right out of the trail about a mile to be exact. Very impressed!! If any of you have done this you know what a bitch it is.


See less See more
yea the 1st words out of my mouth was how bad is my bike it could have been a lot worse it could have ended up about half a mile down in the woods and i just made my 1st payment the day before lol
I hear ya!!!
I rolled mine in a corner last week, doing 70 klm and it rolled and endoed.... bent handle bars, broke light all to #$2m but the digital lcd was still fine, no bent frame! I am more beat up then the quad... lol


HONDA ROCKS!!

A honda foreman is one tough machine, today I was at a Kawasaki shop geting some parts for my sons Kx85. As I start looking at the 650 Kawasaki the salesman starts to brag to sell it to me. It was neat but look close at this animal. I have no need to go 60 MPH. I rock climb up and down and hall butt up and down trails and sometimes do things with it I do not wish to talk about. It is bullet proof and will always hold a good value. And I am just not interested in a belt drive. I still enjoy the old manual 5 speed.
1 tough Honda

Took my 06 Foreman swimming last weekend, Well to make a long story short, The bike stalled in the middle of a creek and water got up the exhuast and into the engine... So we pulled it out the creek and drained the exhaust and pulled the plug.. Turned the bike over, and water started shooting out of the spark plug hole...Removed as much as possible, reinstalled the plug and finished riding the creek.. Ohh ya, since then i installed a custom intake and exhaust snorkel....
