So here are some pictures of my progress...

(Elbow)

(Knee)

(Hand)

(Thigh)


...and plus scrapes & bruises in places I couldn't imagine, lol ... gotta love how far i've come, right?! :-P


SOOO... I got a vague question, I always seem to fall on the throttle when I come down...always pullin back, tryin to stop, but pullin on the throttle, when I try to use the front break...would it be better to just stay away from the front brake and stick with the rear foot and hand brakes? Is the front break, that necessary? Because it seems to just get me into trouble, since I get stuck on the throttle ???

 

Nice!!! Just dont touch the front brake

 

you can try and not fall....

and put on some gear...but hey ay least you may get some new scares and thats cool..

 

my respect level for you just went up too. Keep it up!!!

 

gloves, elbow pads and knee pads woulve saved you that pain. theyre worth the investment. plus fear levels drop when you know you can spill and come out virtually unscathed.

 

Thats pretty crazy, you just need practice and gear

 

I can handle the physical pain and psch i'm fearless hehe ... it's getting stuck on the throttle and failing at what i'm trying to do--there is no gear or pad that can protect from that pain

but I do rock my new helmet...and I suppose pads might need to be invested in :P

 

I ride better with just a helmet & gloves. Everytime I pile on gear I dont feel as limber

 

let go of the throttle before pulling the front brake

 

it takes some getting used to but definately worth it. when i put on my 13mm and the 4piston. I wadded up a spreader hard core, but had my jacket on and got right back up. woulda been some serious rashage.

 

Seems simple enough, I don't understand what my problem is....

 

I will get up regardless. I'm not a va jay jay

 

kids gloves.......

 

says the guy with a photoshoped picture

 

if you're having issues with the throttle/front brake, like you said just use the rear brake.....for simple wheelies you should already be covering the rear anyway.....

 

I have a front and back, rear brake.... any reccomendation on which is better?! I would assume it would take longer for a "brake" usin the front, but then again would I want and urgent stop by pressin down on the back rear?!

 

I thought you said you had ridden a bike before?? the hand brake and foot brake will effect the rear brake the same as long as both are bled?!?!?!

 

....leave me alone guess the front hasn't been bled because it doesn't stop for ****

 

how does one bleed the brakes on a fiddy?

 

Oh, it's a 50?
