let me know if you are practicing this week. sucks practicing alone all the damn time! binder keeps making plans to practice, then he he gets stuck in the pigeon coupe. i sware im gonna leave a bag of bird seed on his ****** driveway this weekend. he is so ****** henpecked its killin me...

 

yeah, no ****... we have yet to kill the big bikes together... you coming down this weekend? (the show Vertlimits is doin)

 

pretty sure dave is doing a show at a church this weekend..... i really think they're trying to convert him over....lol, just playing...

 

paul, were the forks anodized black or something? the are stock a lighter color. just odd they are dark like that. and no, i wo'nt be down for the show this weekend. i have too much to do around home. with all the stupid **** going on around here and me working nights 5 days a week i never get to ride or finish stuff at my house. seems like every weekend i have a wedding or something to do.

and i call aronious on this last weekend, you're *** is cripple anyways, i made plans with my girl saturday and sunday i had to go to purdue for my sister's white coat ceremony. when i got home i went to church since i missed morning service. crippled *** cripple

 

the frame/subframe/swingarm is powdercoated black, so they painted the fork tubes black

 

i see....it's all clearing up for me.


have you tried doing anything to the left? i'm wondering if RL to the right might be easier with the stance and such. seems like when i try them to the left my clutch/brake hand is cramped since i'm leaning up that direction on the bike.

 

i have gotten like 1 full SS o to the left... thats about it... dont really try it much to the left since i do everything to the right... took forever to learn O's to the left on the 50 back in the day.

started working on stepping up to frog in circles tonight... i got almost 2 full frog o's in, but must have tried 100 times

 

ohh yeah... main thing to remember is to pull the bars in to your chest, and keep it there (youll be surprised how much that helps) for RL o's

 

ya, those put a lot of stress on my hands and i haev trouble covering the clutch while working the brake. i really don't want to take my finger off that clutch (fear of being ejected from bike), but it's hard to hold on like that in frog.

 

i cant 2 finger my brake/clutch... i just always cover the HB, cause i can stall the bike out if needed (works for me)

 

You guys wanna hear a funny story?

So yeah.. Learn from me. Don't ride your motorcycle when you're really angry. Yeah it helps work away some of that stress.. But you get pissed off and get brave and I personally 12'd a wheelie and bam. This happens




I don't really remember everything that happened.. but I had been riding out my wheelies most of the night, and this particular one, I 12'd and I thought it was going to loop, so I backed off the throttle.. and apparently I did it too much, the front of the bike slammed down, and I guess the sheer force made me bounce up on the tank and over I went. Face first, literally. My helmet is completely junk. It's broke in three or four places. You can see the marks from the parking lot on my screen, too.

Now thank GOD I was wearing a brainbucket. I would probably be dead if I wasn't. I don't really care to know. But anyway.. I went UP in the wheelie at like.. 40-50mph.. no clue how fast I was going when I landed.. But as soon as I did.. I saw the bike was still going.. and I screamed "Grab the bike!!" and they just barely missed it.. it dropped at a very very slow speed and the only damage it did was breaking the bar end off. No big deal.

Anyway, it looks like I'm out of commision in riding for a while. Atleast till I get another helmet and some ******* leathers. If I had them.. I wouldn't have the rash I do. I have a lot more than the pictures show.. but that's the worst of it.

Oh well. Live n' learn. No I'm not going to quit doing it..

 

OUUUUUUUUUCH........... Glad you had some gear on man..... sounds to me like you stabbed the brake, which is common in learning....

kinda ironic this happened, a buddy corey just looped his yesterday! but he wasn't mad......... he just came back, got scared and jumped, which is also common.....

That rash is gonna suck.... i'm getting teary eyed looking at it, but it could of been worse........

 

hey binder, church is for wimps....if you want to pray, do it before you pull in the clutch while doing your 4th gear pinned out coasters. (crazy bastard)!!!

 

damn man.... sucks to hear ya wrecked, but why are you doing pow pow power wheelies? clutch that bitch from a stand still (or around 5 mph)

 

That actually WAS a clutch up. I'm just so new to this that I can slow it down a little.. maybe 5 mph... But I'm only rockin like 10:30-11's till I get close to redline and roll out of it.

Sucks 'cuz I'm just now riding the wheelies out. Thanks for that goes to Chuck and Eric over at VL.. 'Cuz I was barely gettin' the front up when I rode with them. They told me what I was doing wrong.. and as Eric says.. I'm not being a '*****' anymore..

haha dick.

Who knows! But I want to ride tonight!

EDIT: I think I just typed something wrong last in the last post. I was in the wheelie at 40-50, I didn't take it up at that speed. My bad.

 

****, just takes practice man... youll get it.

 

ohh yeah i have a leather jacket i dont use. it's a suzuki racing replica...... $50 and you can have it.... good condition, but not perfect... perfect for stunting though

 

Yeah I will be at our show Sat in Greensburg, IN otherwise I would make it down. Paul I am with you about covering the handbrake after the clutch up. I forget what a clutch is anymore I use the handbrake so much.

 

Yeah man.. I'll pick up that jacket from ya. Now i need to order me another helmet!

 

cool... i got a nice helmet too! pretty minty, got a few marks, but $50 and it's also yours (matches jacket pretty goof) Size L.... jacket is a 48 i believe (im 6' 180lbs and it fits me a lil loose)
