First ride pics with a little wreckage

[TGZ]

Got out and rode yesterday and it was gorgeous!! I did manage to find a rock and hit hard enough to break my spindle in half. FYI if this happens to anyone else and you don't have a spare bolt the ones used for the ice scratchers are long enough to get it clamped back together through the lower a arm. Was way better than trying to ride out on one ski

I would have a look at the side of the tunnel in front of and behind the left foot well to see if it is bent also.

Hopefully not bent too bad. Put these on my rig to help with this kind of deal...

Makes you wonder if that spindle was defective? I've never seen one break.

Just doing my part to support our local dealers. Everyone, go ride Gallagher! Snow is deep, no rocks to be found, no frozen crust. Game on!
