Jacked up my bike fellas, was at a stunt spot (closed street) practicing, an went a lil too far back:(
3 years ive had my babe…time to retire her:(
Ouch! That sucks.
Sorry to here that Frankie, that sucks! That’s why i stick to my KHS Freeride and my new Scott Speedster 20. Don’t have to worry about four hundred plus pounds coming done on me at speed! I hope this doesn’t cost too much. The arm…well dude, that what stories are made from!
That sucks FrankieG. Did you think about just turning the bike into a pure stuntbike? Strip all the fairings off and use it that way? I have seen guys that do that with some bikes. Man 19/21 year old DR99 wants to have a sports bike so bad. I know I’m not the guy to own one though. I’m so jealous of the guys that have a cute little girl hanging off the back, or even better is a chick that rides a bike. I would consider owning a bike if I lived in the country. Too many seniors and soccer moms around here to deal with. The only problem is stupid Deer in the country.
That sucks! Glad to hear you are ok.
My frame cracked, the gas tank has a hole and the front wheel bent… Its gonna be salvaged becuz of the cracked frame alone… Ive puy 30k miles on her…its time to get a new one…gota be carful anywhere, in socal the traffic is nutts and most of the time its other peoples fault and not the rider…its lots of fun until ur starring at a broken bike with ur body sore..lol
Little duct tape and she will be fine, better put some tape on your boo-boo too. .. But for real, that sucks man. Good to see your okay. Do you have pics or video of bike stunts you do?
Gonna be a good storyChrisK1970 wrote:

That would be a fun one, I understand lazy. Have you tried the YouTube video editor? It’s easy to use.
No..never tried it… Try it soon

Said the lazy man. 😉
Wow, from the pictures you wouldn’t think it had that much damage.
Haha eetwidget….
@DR i have a cage on it, which protects alot but where the cage is mounted to the frame a 2×3 chunk of the frame broke off.. New Aluminum frame and labor isnt worth the bike…so insurance is gonna take it most likely, ill probably try to buy the bike back and see if it can be welded back together…
thats a bummer, but at least you are alright
Damn frankieG good to c ur alright though sorry about the babe man!
Man, sorry to see that. Good news is, chicks dig scars.
That sucks but the road rash leads to a good story. A good story never begins with I was sitting at my moms house drinking a coke. (unless your mom was crazy like mine was)
Bike had a new look july 29th, then i get hit the next day… Here is my hand a week after the accident
Oh shit! Ouch!
