Will let you know today if I am going to be sick. Happened at end of day and TA Motorsports had a arm on hand. Picked it up this morning. Just have a bad feeling that it may be more than just the snapped arm. It was a hard enough hit that my left arm cracked the windshield. Amazing the force at 10mph or so! Stay away from railroad tracks even if its a big shortcut guys not worth it and I have seen much worse on them.
The lower frame is bent.

Wow Dude, that is ugly......I preach to Ditch Cricket all the time about staying away from train tracks for that very reason. Last year, he went through two spindles, one lower radius rod, and one throttle lever on the SXR in one week, both times by hitting train tracks at low speed. Train tracks are baaaaad.

That happened at a track crossing?
No I was 2 mi from destination and ran into water. It was 35 mi to go around. Saw a guy take the track to avoid the water on trail so I followed him. Hit something metal with outside carbide stopping sled instantly hard enough to send my arm through windshield. No excuses I should not have been there.

We plan to head to Watersmeet next week, looking like we'll have to trailer up North. Is it pretty good East of L'anse?
South and east big bay and down to mass city. It's stills big area of good snow. Easy to put some miles on. Just be prepared for a few detours around water. Keep tank over 1/2 in case you have to turn around and go back way you came.
Well its not as easy a subframe removal as Phazer or Nytro thats for sure but the parts are cheap and should be good as new. Just waiting for parts. Hoping to have it back together for weekend. I got the Evo exhaust header back yesterday and made a bit richer PCV Map. Testing continues. More snow and Finally cold forecasted for here even. Need Ice. Hopefully this is the real start of winter!
