Sick of crashing

I cashed last month and got my bike back together. Been stunting this week and yesterday I scraped my pipe during a 12 and my bike fell over. I have no cage so the tabs that hold my rearsets on broke off. This sucks, it is hard to find some one around here to weld aluminum.

Stunting is expensive

I have a short pipe but tried my stocker cause of the noise Shouldn't of listened to all of u on last weeks thread . im going back to my loud pipe!

yeah, when ur pipe hits - if ur not carefull it'll twist the bike up hard.

Get some ill frame sliders or a cage - ya wont' be bustin' rear sets NE more.

when draggin', my pipe is like 1/8" off the ground. it used to hit but i draged it till it ground down.

lie, rob cheat & steal. just never stop stuntin!

word for word, that is exactly what happened to me. I was hitting the pipe for my first scrape which was cool. but then when I hit it again, I did it too hard and it sent me left, and I broke both metal bracket things that hold my pegs. I had to ride home with no foot pegs and in 3rd the whole time.

it does get expensive. there is someone here that weld aluminum. so i guess i'm all set. I wanna just trace the new ones I get and cut a piece of steel and use that instead.

yep. Crashin is a bitch. Stunting has emptied my bank account a couple times now. The last crash took every dime I had and I still dont have the stupid bike fixed. I am hoping to trade this guy locally my set of mint leathers that I never use for the parts I need. Since the last crash, I got a fiddy and have been getting my fix on it. But since I havent been riding the big bike in so long I completely SUCK. *sigh* Maybe I will get some skill back if I get those parts tonight and spend the whole laborday weekend practicing on the geez.

yeah, and stay the hell away from curbs.. They will **** a bike up. Mine slid on its side head on into one smashed the whole front of the bike. The only thing it didnt mess up was the frame and forks. Everything else was wasted. I dont know how it didnt kill the forks.

after market pipes scrape nice, stock pipes have no give whatsoever and will put you on your *** in a second

I recommend learngin without a bar at first. I would go for it. I'm sure you'll be fine.. and an "Engine Cage" is this.... Just a big bike protector thing.

This one is particularly cool, cause the bar comes up around the handle bars, so your levers and sh** don't get destroyed...
