Bike Quick Fixes
So just curious what kind of "quick fixes" people have done to their bike so they can keep on riding until they get it fixed.
Well for me I used some bungie cords..
One for the back door latch where some mother ****er ran into me.
One for the skid plates where I was tryin to go down a hill that way to ****ing steep and musta scraped off a bolt.
That's all so far except my winch was broken but I fixed so nice it's not attached it the front grill area but rather pulled in thightly.
*There is no quick fix for my transmission sadly and I can't ride in LO because of parents.

those aren't quick fixes to keep riding....that thing is fully ridable without skidplates.
try this: wiggins stuntbike, we're rocking at hte factory, his clutch burned up. to get it home we unhooked the clutch cable and jammed the clutch to the engaged position and push started it and he coudln't stop, he just had to keep doing circles at a stoplight on the way home. it was classic.
or for me, just last night, doing slow ****, bike dies, guages come on but no lights and no fuel pump...****ing thing, electrical problem. so i cut my headlight wire and found a piece of tape on teh ground and taped it to my triple clamp to give myself a ground so my fuel pump would turn on and i could drive home. it was cutting out and dying the whole way home.
stupid fixes: indy, on broadripple, me and chad were screwing around and i tried to jump his bike with my bike. smashed into hte bike, broke headlight and plastics, had to use a knife to cut holes in the plastic to zip tie it so i could drive an hour home.
at our first comp, wiggins broke his front brake lever, so we jammed a screwdriver in it so he could compete in the burnout comp.
i wrecked a coaster the night before our comp, busted my front wheel when it hit a building. went home and beat on it with a huge sledge hammer until it was round enough to hold air, rode the comp the next day with a wobbly *** broken wheel.
my 50, broke the throttle housing on it, zip tied back together to this day.
blown fork seals on my bike since july, i just tied rags around the forks.

zip ties seem to save the day, and carry duct tape for various things as well. WE have had to duct tape the entire tail section before and carry xtra parts if you compete.. this will prevent from having to african american engineer anything while your there
