I had been ramping my bike . Its a real cool feeling, but to day was trying to do a stopy at a light and was not able to stop .So after missing hiting a car I pull off the road and look at my bike the disks had fork oil all over them. Is there any thing I can do to make the forks be able to take that kind of a beating?

 

put a rag around the fork seal and duct tape it. best fix ever

 

buy a dirtbike?

 

best option

 

what the squid is going on?

any one can jump a dirt bike ......but a streetbike ?

 

Holy hell, this is the type of morons I am getting away from down here in Florida. Theres no wonder you see bikes laid down on the highway all the F'ing time 90 percent of the time it isnt the old people or the snowbirds, its the moron riders....Cant wait to get to NC

 

hahaha i would have to say that florida has the dumbest riders out of anywhere..

is "snowbird" what u call us northerners that move to florida??

 

Not move just take vacation, the SNOWbird. During the winter months.. lol

 

I went to florida last winter and why do you think people that come from the snow are wrose drivers. if anything they are better then the people that drive in nice weather all year round. there is sand and gravel mid turn of every corner after winter is over.

its not where your from...people are idiots everywhere...NC will be just as bad

 

is this a joke or something, the only thing i can recammend is buy one of the bikes they used in the movie torque, you know the one they jumped onto the train.

 

Is it that you have a hate for us on big boy bikes doing big boy stunts Mr. Umpa? Or is it that your pantys are cuting into your milk duds? All stunts can be called dumb. By the people that cant do them! I got mad respect for all that can stunt. But some times you have to think outside the box and do your own thing .

 

i was kinda looking forward to being known as a snowbird. but yah ive noticed florida is full of retarded drivers. much more than most of the places ive lived and i think its cuz of all the tourists not knowing where theyre going.

1.) Ok lets try this again. This time READ my post and dont imagine I said things I didnt. Here we go. Your actual words were "but to day was trying to do a stopy at a light and was not able to stop .So after missing hiting a car ". Remember? Thats what I was referring to as morons. Repeat after me. You almost caused a traffic accident. I am in full support of new stunts being created and tried all day long but in a controlled situation. You being a stunter should have realized or at least had a possible thought that maybe your brakes should be checked first, or at least do a few stoppies in a lot before doing one into a busy stop light almost causing a wreck.

2.) Who said the word dumb? Not me.

3.) Snipes I agree there are idiots everywhere but there are much more in Florida. If you need to look at the latest stats from NHTSA before you say NC will be just as bad? LOL yeah in FL there were 430+ motorcycle deaths and in NC there were 130+ deaths? Is that what you call just as bad? Thats completely preposterous.

3.) Hows it feel to be corrected? Growing is when you can admit your own faults. Im wrong all the time. But not this time. This time you took the baton.

4.) My panties are pink and tight and I like them twisting in a not up my ***, but that doesnt change the fact that you did a moronic thing. Should we do a poll on that?

5.)

lmao never mind the fork seals you should be checking ur frame by the head tube
and as for a way to stop the whole oil thing dont put any in

 

There was no horse shoes or hand gernads so having a close call dose not count .You can have all the polls you whant. As for me Ill have a pink taco.

 

There is nothing you can really do to keep forks seals from blowing on really hard hits. Try lessening the initial impact on the forks by landing on the rear wheel first ... or better yet ... landing on a downwards slope.

The best looking sportbike jump I've seen was Darius in SIU2 jumping a hill in downtown S.F. on an R1. He wasn't extremely high (maybe 3 feet) but he was going fast enough to travel a good distance. Looked really good on camera.
