How to go over the highside...

Post by homie »

like a stunt man :lol:
YEAH Baby! not a scratch on the helmet WOOT! Textile is a one off, time to buy another isn't it? ;) I've never ridden the Buell without full gear and for sure the ankle support and protection of a motorcycle boot.

Reminds me of Marc Marques on any given MotoGP free practice session (and the occasional race) (the next of which starts in about 1 hour 45 minutes as I write this by the way) ...

Chain lube over-spray onto the rear tire could cause that. Just guessing. It is a left bend he went down on. Happened to me once in a rotary long long ago. Taught me to make sure the chain lube only goes on the chain. 8)

I don't ride without boots and an armored jacket and pants. I had a riding pal die a horrible death after they couldn't stop the infections after a deer hit him sideways and knocked him off his bike into gravel on the shoulder of the road. He wore a plain denim jacket and jeans. They progressively kept amputating more and more, but the grit was embedded all over - they just couldn't get the infections under control.

This is one reason why a quality rear drum brake has advantages. I once had a 1977 Triumph with disks front and rear, and swore I'd never get another bike with a chain & disk rear brake - and haven't. I have no issues with a decent quality drum rear brake.

Despite accidentally misspelling of his surname, I think it's rather obvious who I was referring to. Are you planning on spell-checking everyone's posts going forward, or just planning on nit-picking mine?
