There's something magical about.... There's something magical about the first time you dump a new toy. Maybe it's the newness suddenly being taken from it, perhaps it's the shiny paint now tarnished and scratched. Maybe it's the emotional bond you had with your bike, that seems to be lost. Whatever strange phenomina occurs, something magical happens. When you pick it up something is different. The brake lever, it seems crooked, bent. Laugh if you want, but I think I've discovered something. I had a brand new 400EX, crashed it and bent the brake lever. Suddenly I was able to do much better endos. Andrew thinks there is some scientific reason for this, I dissagree. Today I dumped my R6 for the first time trying to roll legs over burnouts. When I picked it up along with some minor scratches and small broken plastic parts the end of the brake lever was curled. It just so happens that it curves perfectly around my fingers and.....
BAM!!!! 20 feet on the nose, ballance point, steering, in the rain, first day really trying endos. Coinsidence? I think not.
Just thought I would let you all know. I have no pictures or video to prove this, but a reliable wittness (Jay) can confirm it for all of the unbelievers reading this.
Good day.

Dude that's cool....Be careful with that thing though...I know, I know, if I had a bike I'd probably be doing the same thing so who am I to talk. At least get some good gear and any mods for the bike that will keep you safer (steering damper). Probably a good time to invest in some sort of crash cage too...A lot of dough could be lost from a simple drop.
Let me know when you plan on riding that thing sometime, I'd like to come see it. I have a friends parents wedding aniversary thng tomorrow, but it's not an all day thing....if you are doing something tomorrow evening or whatever let me know...I got the camera all charged up and ready to film.
Take it easy man, we all want ya to stay safe.

Josh,
How about a Sunday afternoon? Or a Saturday afternoon after 1? In front of Jay's is pretty safe as long as it's 1 bike and not loud. I can do burnouts and endos, but my wheelies is garbage. Give me a ring 310-6776 or just tell me here when would be good.
