I learned scraping plastic

I think thats the way to go, because if you slam it back, the plastic will give, and allow you time to hit the brake and come back down..

I have an aftermarket fiberglass tail, and it managed to not snap EVER after 200-300 scrapes :YEAH
Cracked in a few places from gorilla scrapes, but never broke through :YEAH

my scrape video.. This is the first day I learned to CONTROL scrapes.. I had scraped before, but it was always just me going to far back on accident..

go ahead and laugh at me for stalling my bike out. This was before I had the skills to cover the clutch. And the loud clanking sound is my plastics that are barely held on with zip ties slamming down..

 

J.... you jerk! I watched that video then somehow an hour and a half later!!! I'm watching other stupid youtube videos of some motard stunts! Thanks alot!!

I think I even commented on your circle vid about how many you turned there in 30 sec. It was like one less than D did in 1 minute. Now if you could keep up that pace, and I could just turn one on the stupid big bike! we'd both be killin it! LOL


I may even scrape my own bar down somemore after I go get the kid nyquil...

 

Thats the story of my life worcester has a very high unscraped bar population. At the summer nationals this year there was a couple kids that def scraped there bars on like a grinder or something the scrapes went sideways

 

Now thats ****** funny

 

im not seeing the humor in that?

 

i scraped mine about 10 minutes after i finished installing it, i also had a pimp limp for about 3 months and a waded up R6.

 

**** i cant get off the damn bar, i try to ride idle and end up draggin quite frequently:YEAH

 

+1 when i hit 12 for the first time (didn't learn brake) i scraped and held on until the bike started to go side to side, i jumped off still holding on running behind the bike until it fell the opposite side that i was on and i almost **** my self the bike pancaked bounced back on 2 wheels and fell on the other side i just stared at it with my hands in the air bike was fine and my hands where shaking the next day from all the adrenline and that's when i knew 100 % i was hooked on stunting :YEAH

 

Like was mentioned before...its good for the sport!

But think about it like this: when you had a minty bike I bet you wish you put a cage on it (maybe you would have never started stunting without trashing it too???). I think the stuff makes the bike look mean! Plus it will help protect your investment. Heck ive got a 12 bar on my bke that is 100% unscraped.... but thats just because I put it on there last night with my new steel subframe for 350.00 (shoot me a PM if you want want for 350.00 plus shipping only for 04-05 gsxr), and because I was almost through my third 12 bar. I am hoping this one will stay on longer...stupid circles...gotta get them!

 

Rockin a minty GiX 1k now..in the market 4 a good stunner. Ill always go by wat i was told wen i got my shitty k3 750. "Crunch some tails and subs 1st, they will give - once the bar is on - there is no room 4 *** up!!"

 

i seen some homo at the local squid bike night with a 12 bar on his 08 r6 not a scratch on it i was like bro at least go home and run a file across that bitch so u dont look like such a poser

 

on street bikes i feel as if they call for unwanted attention

 

i had mine on for months. at least two. then when i got it re-enforced for my 954. i scraped 5 times that first night. i was soo ready to scrape. didnt think i would hit it so smooth when i didnt have it re-enforced. so yeah, i remember people always telling me. y do i have it if im not gonna use it yet. just like the other dude. said,y stop your set up half ways! had the money so i put it on all at once. and then i heard that the subframe isnt too strong. my luck

 

So i was saying i had a minty 12 bar and cage, not anymore i started learning 12s on fri i ate **** once and since i can scrape and almost always ride away
A quesion, when im doing slow speed wheelies or 12s the bike wobbles so bad i have to set it down! How do i get rid of the wobble in first gear i dont have a wobble doing mile long standups at 40mph+ I wanna be smooth!

 

practice, thats it.

 

I really wish I had my round bar on yesterday... but I was too ready to go riding and ended up blowing out my tail because of it... Probably could have saved my upper too had the bar been up there.

 

how would a round bar have saved your upper??

 

How exactly does the posi-trac rear end on a Plymouth work?

 

Both very valid questions.



There is a pic of the accident in action... I would have hopefully been able to manage the scrape a little better and actually aimed where the the bike fell, instead of just letting go and having it hit the exhaust and spiral straight onto it's side. My tank got fucked up too. I pancaked my 636 and the only thing that survived was the frame... who does that?

And for the record, the round bar may have not allowed me to save anything, but in my mind it would have so that's what I'm going with. I also just noticed that you can see a piece of tail exploding up near my left knee haha

 

It just does, duh!



edit: but in all seriousness, didn't realize you were going slow neough to jump off.. So ya I can see how a round bar would have helped, cause you could have just held it on the bar.

I figured you looped at like 20, and figured the round bar woulda brought you down lol

re-edit: btw heres my loop

For anyone who thinks fiberglass plastics are junk, this did NOT break my tail! Just scraped down the tip of it
