lesson learned while camping
here are some pics from my last trip camping. it was a coworker camping trip i went with the familys of the guys i work with up to my bosses lot in featherville. the end ewsult is what happens when you over air your tires. i was getting tierd of constantly getting debri in my beads on my buggy wheels always givving me flat tires. so it seemed like after every ride i was having to break a bead and clean a tire. wasnt really every ride but just seemed that way so i thought that if i over aired the tires that would stop happening. the tires on my buggy say max 7 psi. so i thought that if i aired them up to 8 in the front and 10 in the rear since it happend more to the rear than the front that i wouldnt have this problem anymore. WellSUPRISE I AM A IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPEND TO MY COWORKER AND I..............
This is after we pulled the front end back up on to the road.
The skid marks...
THE DAMAGE....
THE TOW TRUCK..............
the crash happend about 50 yards from camp. every one at camp heard my motor as we came down the raod then a loud bang and a giant dust cloud. so they all cam e running around the coner to find my coworker and i on our side in the ditch. They got there as we were climbing out. learned two valuable lessons. 1. crowe seatbelts rock. 2. over airing tires may stop beads from getting messed up but dont help with traction at all.
