So we are riding and the father-in-law has the only Canned Hamm in the group. He hit a wet spot in a turn and wasn't going to make it so he stomped the gas. The Maverick spun further than expected and lunged into a tree. The impact broke the drivers front hub. We are a mile from camp.

Two people hanging on the rear bumper could almost hold the back down.

I have an idea. We secured his axle and A-Arm. I tied my winch to the ROPS and with my Honda in neutral, I could feather the brake and he was able to pull me. This kept his back wheels on the ground and the one front tire was able to steer (some).

I WASN'T THINKING!!!

By the time we had passed a few wheelers out on the trail, I realized what this looked like, and pulling thru camp cameras were all over us taking pictures of the three wheeled Can-Am pulling a Honda back to camp.

The Father-in-Law was grinning and waving like he'd just lost his virginity.

That was a great little story. I'm glad everyone got back to camp okay. Just pull the Honda around to the limped corner now and snap a couple of pics of the Can Am bowing down to it for the help.
