Always, lol, I have a kid, and I don’t have a deathwish. I have to switch my helmet out cause I took a little boo to it when I fell. No visual cracks, but I have a newer Fox helmet to switch over to that hasn’t been in any accidents.
I was coming down a hill that I always ride, and there’s always a little rut at the bottom of the hill, but I hadn’t ridden there since all the rain, and didn’t notice that the little tiny rut had become a gaping maw in the earth until I was right up on it. I lifted my front wheel in an attempt to get over it, but ended up casing my front wheel hard on the far edge of the hole instead.
Good to hear you didn't do to much damage! It looks a lot worse! My thumbs still complains a lot from being broken riding snowmobile. Been in a couple of bad crashes myself but only managed to break fingers and toes luckily! Backplates really work!
That could have been so much worse. Thank god you're okay.
That fork has one, the silver hose clamp is for the torque arm for the motor. But that fork has proper mounts for the disc caliper.
Lol from the pic I thought it was holding your caliper on.
Is there a good story too as why you decided go and fuck up a friend of mine ok well a little road rash would be fine but that it
Sorry to hear about the accident. Glad to hear you are ok. That’s a horrible experience you had. Wow.
Yeah, luckily I have a stockpile of bikes in my shed. I think it may be time to put a mid drive motor on this one
Shit, that's how we lost @Singlemalt in the last torrential down pour.
Wait, what?! What the fuck happened to @Singlemalt !!?!
I was waiting for you to stroll by and start throwing popcorn at it.
There was actually a dog incident. On a real back road. this probably 6 y.o. kid is riding his power wheels jeep IN the road, with his doggy. I was like, oh shit, I sure hope this dog is friendly. It was, and it started following me. I was almost to the busy intersection, and it looked like a young friendly dog, so I stopped, and yelled at it to go home, and low and behold it did!! Good doggy!!
I do the same thing with my motorcycle helmets. If I drop it from higher than waist high, I try to replace it as you just don't know what cracked on the inside. It got expensive when I used to drink. Oops....300 bucks
By the ocean?
Oh yeah @Singlemalt you know he was scarce around here because amongst other upgrades he was building a moat. So you want to build an effective but socially responsible depth moat when you're him. This marvel of engineering, it really was too, was about 4-6' deep. Unfortunately his utilities were not buried much deeper so when the torrential downpours came his internet left.
