LOL welcome to the club, I did it once....popped a wheelie when it hit, no damage to the BX but the garage took it hard Another time forgot about the FEL and hit the garage door track and the jam.........I got more:laughing:

Wife didn't have a sense of humor about it though!

I have. I am so close to cutting my rops down couple inches to fit in garage in front of house. I purposely built a new garage in back with higher doors in back of house just for the BX. The ROPS police will never take me alive if I ever do modify the ROPS! :laughing:

How about forgetting to lower your FEL bucket far enough????...you know you're tired when the noodle upstairs quits working.

Hey, let's hear it for 8' garage doors! I buggered up two "plastic" garages (the $200 ones that you assemble yourself), but then I built a real 24' X 24' garage and simply put an 8' O.H. door on, so problem solved! (Mind you, the 8' high garage door was more expensive, and I had to add a $60 extension kit to the door opener which only cost about $200 in the first place.)

Me too with the 8'door on mine and I'll never look back or is that up?

I've done it too.. now I have a sign that hangs down in front of me when I drive in the door that says "Put ROPS DOWN !!

It's hung from two screws in the door by string, so that it hangs flat against the bottom door panel when the door's down. Works great.

Sean,

If you can easily recall, can you post the link to that custom sign site again please? You already did and I went there bookmarked it. Then I changed computers....

Duh,
