Grrr, dirtbike strong.

We had a truck come into the shop with the driveshaft bent into a pretzel. They had been pulling massive stumps with it and bent the whole truck.

I was 'power braking' the 47-440 in a parking lot one day and ripped the driveshaft like a paper towell roll twisted backwards. It was hooked at both ends, but hooked by a piece of 'unraveled' metal that really caused embarrasment. The situation was compounded by the fact that the club photographer was there to 'document' the happenings!

I was presented with a 'framed' momento of the event at the awards banquet.

Most of my stump dragging was from a RUPP mini-bike with a 50 cc Honda and 6 speed. I would stand up on the pegs just before impact and lean out over the bars. an 8" X 20' log would follow me back to camp.

I thought you were talking about a tree. That is a little sapling. The poor little thing.

Never ate a driveshaft, but ate 3 trans pulling stumps in the 89 suburban. Big stumps. Not wee little trees.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!
