Re: Motogp Lean Angle
On an island near Hampton in Arden. I was wearing a thermal jacket rather than my leather jacket as it was cold. Jacket is ripped all up the right arm. Scorpion can scratched to f@ck, fairing slightly scratched, crash bung worn down a bit, bar end scratched and mirror slightly scratched. I've got a dull ache in my right shoulder and a few layers of skin from my elbow are still on the tarmac. I was seeing stars for a few minutes after, but got straight back on it to ride home. I'm undeterredKwacky wrote:Doh! Where was that? are you ok and how's the bike?

Re: Motogp Lean Angle
Off till 5th of Jan, plenty of time to nip out for a spin . Why when we bikers have an off, do we want to get straight back on the bloody thing that could have just cost us our life? Are we a different breed do you think?Rossgo wrote:Hope the shoulder heals up soon Tuffers, hope your not having to work through the Christmas holidays - time to be able to rest up

Re: Motogp Lean Angle
Very much so.
You have a crash and you get two responses:-
1) How's the bike and when you riding again
2) Time to get rid of that dangerous thing before it kills you.

Pussies.....I've had my knee/bars down loads of times.
Errr....an MTB may have been involved.....and yes, you can get that low on an MTB without falling off...sometimes.

Re: Motogp Lean Angle
I've used 3.5" maxis tubeless tyres running about 23 psi on my freeride bike and was impressed how low you could get on a good berm, but the only time I got a bar down D was when I went down
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.
