those wheelies are cool to watch ,but you can tear alot of stuff up in a hurry..sounds like you pulled a Damon there. He tore some stuff up too ,dropping it like that. Good luck with it.

I find it funny..........I see so many guys go to the moon, keep their foot in it till the back tires are OFF the ground, then LIFT........and BANG....$$$$$$:confused::confused::confused:

Try this.............when you cant see the track no more, EASE out the throttle a bit, till it just starts coming down, THEN nail it and ride it out!!

Sorry to hear the news Jerry. Gitter fixed and try it again. Until you get a set of bars, it's always gonna be in the back of your mind.:)

Man that sucks, hope the damage isn't to bad.

Gerry, if you don't already have struts with external adjustable valving it might be an idea to get some and use them in conjunction with the limiters. That way you can control both the speed of the strut's extension as well as the total distance of there extension.
