Zannmann Crashes!!!!
last night while out streeting it up as ive been doing as of lately,i was riding the miles on 1 wheel all over mass last night,when all of a sudden about an hour into the horror run,i start to turn a wheelie into a corner and drop the front a bit,after i finished making the corner on 1 wheel i started to bring it back up to balance point and further,well when i went to slow it down from about 40 to about 30 i brought it way back like ive been doing to ride that brake hard to slow it down but this time was different. when it hit the balance point i pushed on the brake with normal pressure but it just kept flaoting back (something happened i dont know what i think the brakes overheated and stopped working)and then. THE INNEVITABLE.i hit that tail hard but i kept it sliding straight like a scrape on bar(and i havnt been riding a bar it was sliding on my license plate)for about a telephone pole length on the tail and subframe and when it started to veer into the left lane of traffic i jump off to the right to try controlling the crash as best i could. my bike slid for about 50ft and i rolled out with no damage to me or my bike. I AM LUCKEY AND I KNOW THIS,but i will not stop riding. just thought id share my experience.

p.s. heres a pic of my new scrape bar,anyone who lives in mass can get one cheap,the state is providing them for stunriders now. kinda cool huh?

Hay bye the way how are the circles coming. keep me posted because im working on them as much as possible. i found out if u run your idle up a round 3 it helps .

 

CCCSSSHHHH (cop radio squelch) Someone wanna run that plate? Just fu(kin wit ya.... good story

 

well i havnt been trying circles since the knee accident(haha i have to name my accidents now):YEAH so i have no new input but yea i figured out that runnin the idle higher helps out . i recently learned no throttle hand ****,but im a week away from going under the knife so im almost outta time. im just gonna wait till i heal before i learn circles and then ima kill sh.it.
hey scott dont worry your not the only one dissapointed i missed getting that on film. I WISH, I WISH, I WISH.
lata,
mike.
p.s. cant wait to meet everyone at the summer nationals.

 

Yo rich, i think you mean DOT 5 brake fluid has a WAY higher boiling point. I havn't heard of DOT 8, but then again i am a moron.

I am converting my **** to DOT 5 & changing my rear pads. those things suck.
