I taught my 200x a new trick today. My son and I were out trail riding this morning. I started through a creekbed that was very steep on both sides when the motor on my bike died. I coasted down to the bottom and started it back up. When I started back up the other side and as I let out the clutch it popped a wheelie as it came out of the creekbed. It must have hit something as it did that. I lossed control and it veared off to the left and started towards a big pond. If the sagebrush had not been there it would have went swimming. When it came to a rest, it was upside down on the other side of the sagebrush. I should have gotten a picture.

The only thing it did was bend one of the metal braces that I have under the back fenders.

We go riding at Rabbit Creek. You can get to it from Marsing. Just go past Marsing like you are going to Givens Hot Springs. Go past the Junction with Highway 45 ( the road that goes back to Nampa). It about 10 miles farther up the road on the right side of the road. Check out the pictures I posted in the riding section. We might be going back out on Wednesday.
