ZR SLEDHEAD Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Day did not turn out as I'd planned, short jaunt up the trail after unloading to test after dealer had the engine out for crank seals, locked up solid / towed back. This sport can be a roller coaster of emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha Fan Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 3 hours ago, infernobuster said: Yamaha fan, hope you are okay. Heard you had a nasty crash this afternoon on return back to Lindsay. I'm okay miraculously. The sled was acting strange all day. First it was the oil light then as I was riding back I noticed it was accelerating slightly by it self. Then at a stop sign it would not slow down. I hit the brakes and it fished tailed but kept going. So as not to hit the guy in front I swerved into the snow bank and the sled took off into the air accelerated hit the road and as it was heading into the trees I rolled off. I slammed into a tree and the sled ended up against a wire fence and stopped upright idling. We turned it around and I rode it out of the Bush, up a slope back on trail. No damage miraculously. I led the way back to the trailer in case it accelerated again by itself. My back is paining now, can't sleep mostly because it's sore and I'm having nightmares :). Otherwise I'm fine and so is the sled. I will have a Yamaha dealer look it over on Monday. I'll give feedback. What a scary thing to have happened. I was scared riding it back to the trailer too. Driving home I was nervous like crazy. I wish to thank your two friends for helping me out in this situation as I was in pain. They turned the sled around in the deep snow off trail. It must have been scary for them too to witness what happened. They were quick to respond. Picked me up as I was wrapped around the tree. Oh well... I'm thankful that the rest of the day turned out well. Seems I'm a survivor in more ways than one for those who know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check my back in the morning for any bruising or swelling. My left leg where the radiation grains are implanted is burning. I haven't had feeling in the upper leg for two years now. I touch it and I can feel my leg now. Strange. No pain though. If I can keep feeling my leg in two weeks time without complications.... hey!

Figured your group had left. My day was worst but miraculously nothing broke. Live to ride another day. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamaha Fan Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 For what it's worth ... Friday was an awesome day for riding. Snowmobilers are the best bunch of people I know around the world...... when I was offloading at TBR a young rider walked up to me smiling and shook my hand glad to see someone other than a Canadian sledding. Then after they left Chris Penderton recognized me and introduced me to his group and I rode with them .... luckily. What a bunch of great guys. I met Chris (infernobuster) in Gravenhurst back in 2014 winter. At the restaurant, more snowmobilers were chatting me up and in the parking lot when I was checking the sled out.... more snowmobilers were helpful and concerned. I believe I'm not different from any other person ... so I concluded... I must be a handsome guy Cheers everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Ty Glad to hear that you are OK. Vector's aren't supposed to do that kind of stuff. Bring it to your dealer and have him give it a good scolding I certainly hope your back heals and your leg doesn't? Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
528rick Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Glad to here your in fairly good shape after bailing on a runaway sled,Let us know what the dealer says.Im curious to know if you had a tether switch connected to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfish Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 not sure what you would attach a tether to on a Vector! It it key start/stop, with the usual kill switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I see your days as an airline pilot are not behind you. Who knew you needed a parachute while sledding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
