Well, i just scraped for the first time ever, while useing a bar, i was sliding the bike on it from 2-8 meters, i did it 3 times and crashed all 3 times..

post up about ya crashes while learning to scrape... Or even ya story.. i wanna hear them..

i finally done it, i ant to hear other stunter crash stories..

 

Apart from my accidental highway "scrapes" (AKA: big crashes),

My first scrapes were awful! The local welder who built my bar for me dropped my bike back to me at work (i was working at a bike shop at the time), so of course all the guys gathered around to have a look-see cause they hadn't really seen one before, and then of course they wanted to see it get scraped!

So after work i had a good go at it in the work carpark beside the bosses car (LOL)..........with all the fellas watching (bad idea!) So with no knowledge or experience of rear brake control i turn my idle up to 5 000rpm, give it a fist full of throttle for good measure and dump the clutch.

UP SHE CAME.........GORILLA SCRAPE..........RIDE ON BAR FOR ABOUT 5metres.........THEN HAVE BIKE LEAN SIDEWAYS TOWARD BOSSES CAR!

So i jumped off the back, pulled clutch in and swung that fukka round and out of the way of the car! It was so close to smashing his passenger door in it wasn't funny......BUT HE LOVED IT! So i tried a couple more times but same thing kept happening. UP, GORILLA SCRAPE, FALL TO RIGHT SIDE, JUMP OFF AND SWING IT BACK DOWN.

Called it a day and joined the boys for a couple of beers in the workshop, after that i learned what the rear brake does.

Share your stories all!

lol. we hit the lot to try and scrape it. Idle at 3k, i parked it the first time i tried. It was a gorrilla scrape, but still. I think i parked 3 more, and crashed once (chasing the bike lol) I through together a vid a while ago from the first day, i'll see if i have it uploaded. I think the crash is pretty funny lol. I had little to no rear brake controll, and still have a long ways to go, but atleast my bar doesnt have paint on it anymore. lol

right click...save target as...

 

that video clip would have been great if it ended with the line "so how do we get it down now?"

 

nice 12's mark. is your gearign stock ont eh f2/f3 ?

 

nice vid mate... your crash looks like mine... hehehe..


Anyone else out there with vids of there first time scrapeing ?? post up..

 

I wanted to ride a slow 12 b 4 I learned to scrape but some buddies were pushin me so I tapped (I don't call it scrapin) the tail like 20 times. The next day I hit it crooked stuck my foot out and fell over easy...just cracked a stator cover. Other then that I learned to ride a slow 12 after, scrape and park w/o ever fallin over or crashin. Was a 900RR -1 +2

 

nice vid boys, a bit gorilla but just fine!!

 

I can't even gorilla mine, but prolly cuz last year I had no cage and was afraid to dump it.

Well, put a 12 bar on and laid it back on it two times, both ending it a nice fall (5-10mph) and cracked my stator cover the second time. Bike was bleeding oil everywhere.

Gotta get out there and get this down, my boy Paul is killing it out there.... Great inspiration.

 

fist tiem i scraped was on accident i was clutchin up tryin to learn idle wheelies..i clutched to ahrd tapped my bar very lightly and came down....i didnt even thinki hit but when i looked there was like 2 lil scrape marks in it....lol i was pumped....then i wud clutch up hit the brake once and let idle draop it on the bar soft....i proceed to park 7 in a row whiel staing in the staggered stance not running behind it...then i wud scrape like i jstu did pull the clutch in tap the brake and come down...no crashes

 

forgot about this post... -1 +3 on my f2, i ride a fair amount of highway so thats as high as im going for a while. I dont really plan on scraping much anymore until i can consistantly slow my **** down w/the rear brake.
