Crashed just as we rocked up to practice yesterday and it was a fast one.
Was such a **** too cos it wasn't as much an accident as it was an oversight. I flipped a wheelie doing about 120-130k's an hour just as we arrived at our practice spot. That sucked butt cos I didn't even get to really ride yesterday!!

Anyway my dumbass changes the rear tyre just before we head for the spot, as we turn into the main street I pop a fast plain as jane wheelie, nothing special. In 2nd or 3rd gear starting to get a fair bit of speed so I bring her back past balance to slow it down a bit. Hit the rear brake, nothing, hit it again...ahhh ****ing nothing again, 12 bar hits the ground by this time and I think maybe I'll control it or something....BWAHAHA..fat freaking chance as the thing goes wobbly like nothing else after just scraping a few metres which at that speed is like one second. The bike goes back and over and cartwheels about 5 times spraying parts fuel and all sorts of **** everywhere!! I at least got to see 2 of the cartwheels before flipping myself over and sliding head first.

Oh well I just better start looking for parts again!!

So if anyone has any of the following, please let me know:

Straight rear subframe.
Electrical switches off bars (on/off switch, turn signals etc)
Tank, preferably already damaged in some way.

Adios!

 

whats wrong with the subframe dude. looks fine to me j/k. i rang a few places for u and i got laughed at when i asked for a subframe but may have a tank for u. as far as electrical parts go i will have to see what i have left over once both mine are done. so will keep u posted dude uh, and prices for sub is bout $350 give or take and tank 2-3 hundred give or take.

 

damn dude u ****ed up big time.... did you have the back break hooked up? or it just didnt wanna work at 130 kph?

hope u get yourself and the bike sorted soon

peace

 

were you usin the rear brake a lot right before that? if you have dirty brake fluid, and they heat up, they fail, atleast you're ok

 

**** pete thats nasty mate.Sounds like the same thing I did on the monday in QLD.Plain jane sitdown at about 80ks-ish got a bit high backed off hit the brake harder and nuffin not a fuggin thing lol.It was all ok while I was draggin plastic but when that snapped off and the pipe hit it was a big fukc off SEEE-YAA bike.More or less just brain fade from me I think lol.Anyhoo good to see your o.k bro.

 

DAMN...lease you ok..will keep an eye out at the smash shop at work

 

Dude sorry to hear, I hate crashing....

I will keep my eyes open for your parts....Talk to ya soon...

Did you come out with any damage to ur self?

 

that happens ,but at that speed is nasty eastern creek wreckers can help there legends

 

hahah just realised I forgot to type up the reason for no brakes. Nothing to do with fade etc. We had just rocked up to the spot so didnt have time to heat and fade. Plus fade is normally gradual, this was zero from the get-go.
Yeah the reason was that I'm a fu#$#$^%$^% Muthe$%^%^%&&% dumbass who changes his rear tyre, pushes his pads apart, then forgets to pump his rear lever before going for a ride.

 

that,ll do it everytime.

i have had the pleasure of doing that twice before. once flipping it, and next time ended up in kitty litter at end of straight knee deep!

i bet at some stage you will forget again too.

 

ALWAYS remember to "PUMP IT BEFORE YOU RIDE IT" this is for
alot of things not just bikes

 

a complete instructional guide can be found at www.inflatablelove.com

and sorry to see it like this Bash but it does happen... scary time for me was changin rubber in the pits and crankin onto Turn2 @ Eastern Creek only to realise i didnt pump both front & rear brakes after the change.... i dont think ive ever cornered that bastard as fast since then

 

Don't say that man!!!!
