Many of you have seen this over at HL, but it's so good I had to post it here.
This was posted on one of my ATV forums today
"I have suspected my wife of cheating on me for several months. It started with a couple late nights, "girls night out". It has now progressed into four or five nights a week. Initially I didn't think anything of it. Most times were on a practice or race night and I figured she needed her night out also. Recently she did not return home until early morning and claimed to have had car problems. I asked her why she didn't call me or the Mercedes emergency service to get home. Her speech stammered and she loudly proclaimed that she "had a bad night" and stormed upstairs to bed. I tried to stay up several nights to catch her, but, probably from being tired from practice or racing, I could not and would fall asleep. I was resolved to catch her, so I skipped practice and was determined to stay up.
As she pulled into the garage, at 3:30am, I was hiding behind my Quad. As she pulled in, I saw her buttoning up her blouse. When her legs swung out of the doorway, I saw as she removed her panties from her purse and slide them on. Crouching behind my Quad, I noticed a discoloration in a welded frame joint. I strained to see more and noticed a hairline crack following the weld as it rounded the joint.
My dilemma is should I just re-weld over the exist weld joint and assume it was a poor weld from the factory, or take it to a shop and have it gussets welded in??? I am rather rough on the quad and tend to log frequent flyer miles so I am concerned this may just be a factory weak point... Any thoughts?
