hit up some canyons today.

my buddy on his RR went too wide onto the dirt...his bike landed roughly 5 inches away from the cliff.

he took off but we kept riding, on the way back, i was goin maybe 50-70 (no gauges), makin a tite left turn. everything was good, i was where i was supposed to be and was gonna make the turn...all of a sudden i hear "khkhhhkhkkhk"

i knew it was the cage scraping, thought if i kept scrapin i wouldve slid. (right?) so i tried to straighten out and slow down as i go off road.

right when i got onto the dirt, i lost it,a fell to the left, the bike rolled over me.

a few cuts and bruises but im good. .im lucky i had my boots/jacket/backprotector on!!! ...but i was in shorts ...so my knees took some damage too.

damages:
bent pipe, i'm guessing it hit a rock.

anyway, just wanna say that tygershark is DA ****!!! its still in one piece. god knows wat woulda happened if i had the 905 on.

 

my 02 R6 had a powers cage and i'd hit this left turn into my complex atleast at 35mph and there was a little water way half way through the turn, everyime i hit that turn the bounce from the water way thingy would cause my to hit my cage hard n never affected control, the noise at first scares ya

 

ahhh maaaan, so ur telling me i coulda kept scrapin n' hav made the turn?

....w/e at least now i know.

 

that sucks, what kinda cage you runnin?

 

hmmm

"tygershark is DA ****"

 

yeah you'd be better off

 

yeah cages flex quite a bit, I don't even think twice when my cage scrapes anymore

 

makes me wonder why they design cages like that, my SI cage u can rail on and it'll touch at the same time as the footpegs... so basically you're a goner anyways.

anyone remember bullo drifting onto the cage and rockin a sitdown out of it?

 

i like the new avi dirtytoes.

 

+1 on the sickinnovations. Hard to scrape on the F4i but saved my bike many times

 

 

glad to hear you're mostly OK :YEAH

when you get some spare cash...get some knee/shin guards to wear when you're wearing shorts.... and you'll be Braggin ' on them (like you're reppin' your tigershark cage now) next time manbearpig sneaks up on you like that

 

thx dude!!!! :YEAH

 

LMAO

i have shin guards, ****** bombass ones too....just didn't have em on cause they are too bulky. and it was like 90 degrees. was gonna drop off my jacket before we left too!

btw, i was lookin at the bike again, and there are more damages, and i know y i went down.

...(bent headers, cracked plastics)

when i straighten owt, at the point where the asphalt ended, there was a step down, then there was dirt, kinda like goin off a curb, my headers caught it, bent in, then the bike threw me off.

the header is bent in maybe almost an inch, but the bike runs fine, should i be worried?

 

what kinda cage do you have that goes behind the header? 905? mine goes underneath... I dunno about the headers, depends how bad it is I guess, you would only really notice it affecting the top end if anything... did you skip standups and go straight to spreaders or are you doing standups now too? bp?

 

where hav u bin man? i gotta me a tygershark! :YEAH ....nowhere near the headers.

the thing that bent the headers was the edge of the asphalt

i got standups down already, and ya bp...long time ago, practicin spreaders & highchairs now.

 

cool I dunno where I've been. yeah tygersharks don't go under the bike at all, I always wondered why that was. Mine has a big plate underneath the header that would've saved them in a situation like that, but stock headers are cheap, like $50 on ebay

 

props to you man. it wasnt too long ago when you posted the sitdown pics asking if u were at bp, now ur tearing up highchairs. ur learning fast

 

did you ride before you started stunting???like dirtbikes or somethin

 

hell ya bro! i remember that ****, used to watch ppl do that **** in videos thinking i could never do it myself. the thing that helped me MOST, was that we found a ****** spot. before, i was always in backstreets and ****.
