That's why they don't make 3 wheelers-unsafe! And before anyone jumps on me for stating the obvious, I rode a Honda Big Red ATC for many, many years-even when ridden conservatively I had some close calls and the occasional tip over, I'll stick to the quads, thank you.

OH that is horrible. What a sad end to a fun trip. My condolences to the family, and sympathy to the son that was present. I know what it's like.

-Kevin 77, yes quads are safer, anyone would know that. but is that really necessary?

good call vchapes! there is a thing called discretion kevin. Condolences to the entire family.

Rest In Peace. I used to be his neighbor almost 20 years ago. I was just a kid. To this day, he was the most ingenuitive with nothing I have ever met, and can admit he influenced me as a kid. Taught me to cut wood, raccoon hunting, and I even had some venison. He was much like a big brother to a few of us neighborhood kids. I would hope to go to his funeral if publically announced.

Since it was dark, he probably didn't see the bump in his headlights until it was too late

good bye my friend.....

And i'll tell ya what....thats not just a "bump", but a dangerous obtrusion whether your on an atv, car or bicycle......this road needs to be looked at!!! Army Corp of Engineers built it, but they left stumps sticking out of the ground, and no shoulders. It is a bad road....

and i thought that 4 wheelers were dangerous!

good man. RIP Big Dan

yes, this is a horrible accident for the family, i have known the family for over 10 yrs. Big dan was a great friend and will be missed by many... my heart goes out to his wife, mother and little dan.. you will be in my thoughts and prayers... jewels
