Pete Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 .....on the DT175 today! 8) My 13 year old had his first bike ride....he actually popped an accidental wheelie on his first pulling away attempt. Not long after he parted company with it, but him and the bike were fine as he was on grass! Actually, I nearly binned it twice...once when I attempted a sort of "powerslide" that didn't quite work out...and then when I belted up a bank and wheelied at the top. Good wheelie in terms of height cos I was vertical....unfortunately it started veering to one side in mid air! Saved it though....just! :oops: The wife then told me to grow up, reminded me I was 50, and made me take the bike home in case I wrecked it! :cry: That's another avenue of pleasure that's closed to me then! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozzy Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 when i had my old 76 xl 250 i sprayed it and done some bits and bobs to it then put it back together then went over the old airport i was botting it across the feild when i hit a bump and the silly twat i am accidentley forgot to bolt the seat back down secureley so me and the seat flew up in the air the bike just carried on going it was so embarrasing then 2 months later i done a jump on my kdx 175 and fell off mid air and believe it or not i landed on my feet and didnt have a scratch on me it still scared me enough to not do it again :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 Had another go last night...ended up splitting the quick at the side of my thumbnail, with blood pissing down my hand! :oops: I decided to wheelie off a bit of a bank, which I did, went flying through the air.....and my hand twisted on the bars when the bike landed. TBH....I think it's all down to years of riding very safely and conservatively on the road. Cos when I get offroad, I just want to cut loose and be a nutter again. And my offroad skills and abilities leave a lot to be desired. :cry: Look out for the next injury update on Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted May 20, 2004 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2004 Pete.....I can totally relate to this :wink: Off-Roading is such a kick in the pants 8) I put myself out of a week of work a few years back, when I tore some ligaments in my left knee after going down from a Sweet 3rd gear powerslide on my lad's XR80! :shock: .......Still, there's nothing quite like the Skill-Honing qualities of Off-Roading :tu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 Yeh it's a lot of fun Scott....years since I done this. And no cops, cameras, or cars to worry about. 8) We're gonna fire up the Videocam on the weekend....so I may have some entertaining mpeg's of me behaving like I'm 18 again! 8) Except I won't be posing outside the local girl's school now!
