When I see axles like that all I ask is if the kids were driving. Maybe I should say or were you driving like kids?

You are 100 percent right, Msafi65. As I recall, this kid was around 54 years old at the time.  ::)

It could have been worse.  You could have ended up with a thousand piercings if you chose wrong.  As long as no one got hurt (except maybe your pride  :)) ). Machines are repairable.

Neither option was going to be a good one and if I was just putzing around, it NEVER would have happened, but rather than replace the axle, it prompted my machine to get springered ASAP.  ;) THAT was a good thing.  ;D

Ok, I will ask.  What happened?   ???   popcorn

Okaaaaay....  ::)  Whip & I went out riding probably 10 years ago. He was in the Spider (springered) & I was in my Max when it was stock. I took the lead, came flying around a corner & had to make a choice of avoiding something (don't remember what it was)  & either drive into a giant mesquite bush with THORNS on it or hit a rock. I chose to hit the rock. (I prefer saying that it jumped out at me, but that's not very convincing.) I hit that rock so hard, I thought I broke my nose on the windshield. Problem was I didn't have a windshield.   ;D  We got it back to the trailer on 5 wheels & that is the last time I ever bent an axle or cared to. Is everyone happy now?  rofl  rofl
