Couple pictures, short story.

So, even though I don't have a cage on my bike yet, I tend to do a clutch up every once in a while. I don't try to hit bp or walk it for days, just enough to try to stay used to feeling the front end come up. Anyway, I decided to go dick around this past Monday. I was riding along, second gear, chased one down the street. Decided to set it down cause I was gaining speed. Well, when I stopped, I made a few adjustments to my person so as to be more comfortable, so I stuck the bike in neutral for a minute. Needless to say, when I took off again, I for some reason thought I was in second and clutched it like I would. I was in first. Didn't loop, but it got WAY up high and the back end just slid to the left some. I hit the brake and set the front end down, but I had gotten thrown off the side of the bike and it was dragging me. I tried to climb back up on, but when I did I stopped intentionally locking my throttle wrist. So of course, throttle wound up wide open, and the bike just disappeared out from under me. Wasn't too bad though, I wasn't really going fast or anything. However, I didn't have my jacket on so my forearm got a bit of rash on it, nothing serious, just missing a few layers of skin. Cracked my stator cover though.

This is what I get for doing wheelies with no cage or jacket



Here we go!




Getting there!





Uhhh..




Got this high really suddenly..





Oh shit..




God dammit. At least the sky was pretty.

There's a lesson to be learned here. I'm just not sure what that lesson is.

Yeah props for doing it without cage!

Fix the bike, ride it like it is or put on some sliders or a cage and do wheelies!

I tried to cut the video, but it kept cutting off before the bike even kicked sideways. Besides, the camera stopped recording before I even got the front end back on the ground. So you couldn't see when I actually went down anyway.

Month or two I'll have a cage. Good to go again.

When you get the cage you need to come holler at me. I will help you out. Glad to see you staying at it.
