So I'm working on the 100cc Yak yesterday, just about to start working on tidying up my dual receiver install when I hear this crackling noise from out in the street. I saw the neighbor in his yard across the way so I figured it was him doing something. Suddenly, I hear a loud POP then more loud cracking, as I whip around to view a large branch of one of our pepper trees breaking off and falling into the street 
(Jeep Grand Cherokee with hazards on peeking through the limbs for comparison)
Had to get out the saws and start hacking away at it, couldn't leave it in the street since it's a busy-ish location with plenty of street traffic. Killed all the rest of the energy I had for the rest of the day so I had to put the Yak away with a mess of a wiring harness inside

Man! Sorry for your mishap! Looks and sounds like the repairs will be somewhat minimal which is the good news!

Well the Jeep belongs to me @combat chicken
We had to use it to yank the branch out of the tree since it got stuck.
