Anyone else flop their p500 yet?

[hop]

I did today.. 8 miles on it haha. Tried to break the rear end loose to make a quick turn, tires caught and over she went. Should have known better, such a narrow rig. Doesn't seem any worse for the wear, thankfully. Shut the engine off immediately, flipped it back onto the tires and kept riding.

First ride today.. very impressed with it. got up to the headlights in mud and water, did some pretty intense rocks. Can't wait for them to develop a long travel kit.. at one point my spotter told me one of my tires was about 3 feet off the ground! All in all very impressed with the capability of this thing.

oops - the good thing is I have not heard pf people having much damage when flopping them over. There are a few older machines out there (won't name the brand) that a simple "flop" could cost you $100's if not $1000's in repairs.

it looks like if you were over just a little bit more the tree would of saved you!
