ahoutzer Posted January 12, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 12, 2011 I can never understand why so many people buy a motor vehicle and then want to forget that it has an engine and wheels -- that it is a motor vehicle -- and treat it as cargo on the back of another motor vehicle. JUST RIDE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUST RIDE IT! Sometimes you have no choice...I'm in the military and when you have to move every few years you just don't have enough drivers to take all the vehicles across country...makes more sense (though not as enjoyable) to trailer the bike... This is also my biggest fear...so I don't trailer it unless I HAVE to...With only a 30 inch inseam I have to be careful no matter how I handle it...

Mikey Posted January 12, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 12, 2011 I think his downfall was that the rear tire lost traction on the slick ramp and that was all she wrote. I would have broken at least one important bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJoe Posted January 12, 2011 Share #9 Posted January 12, 2011 Too steep an incline... Find a hill or loading doc and load it. ESPECIALLY if your backing it out.... unless you like to meet people Steep inclines and 250 lb. dirt bikes "yes" Steep inclines and +650 lb. street bikes "NO WAY"...

CaptainJoe Posted January 12, 2011 Share #11 Posted January 12, 2011 Well yeah, but I 've never dropped one. I just remember almost droppin a dirt bike baking her down a steep ramp once and the experience just kind of stuck with me! A friend of mine had a 660 raptor that put a huge dent in the back of a pickup busting out the rear glass and damagaging the bed. He Hit the throttle at top of ramp when he leaned forward (thigh hit throttle) and it grabbed on the ramp ends and just about launched over truck. Too worried about him for any of us to laugh then... although, we do kid him about it from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbagger Posted January 13, 2011 Share #12 Posted January 13, 2011 I'm afraid I did something real similar so I recognized the guys reaction. It is a mixture of embarrassment, anger and sickness in how much money you just cost yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddlebum Posted January 13, 2011 Share #16 Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I think his downfall was that the rear tire lost traction on the slick ramp and that was all she wrote. I would have broken at least one important bone. Wrong ...He was scared, and as a result too cautious. . If you notice, he backed off the throttle for a second just before the ramp. He was beat before he even started. He should have just give it to her or not tried at all. When you do stuff like that there is no half way, its all or nothing.

CaptainJoe Posted January 13, 2011 Share #17 Posted January 13, 2011 Oh I've dropped my dirtbikes more times than I care to remember, and have the aches and pains from the abuse to my body to prove it... Just never dropped one on a loading Ramp... I agree about the confedence thing. Thats 95% of being a good rider... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captdrac Posted January 13, 2011 Share #18 Posted January 13, 2011 He just got spooked. He pulled in the clutch as he aproched the top and never let it out again. Happened to me when I was on a steep hill in Branson waiting for a car to move at a 4way stop sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
