Perhaps that’s because I’ve had too many alcoholics in my life, barely pulled away from that brink myself, and watched too many “Signal 30” movies. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 2, 2019 One of my Spring rituals is to grab a motorcycling guide (ex: Proficient Motorcycling, by David Hough) and review safe riding practices. The life you save may be your own. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needless to say I got rid of it so I didn’t kill my self. This was when I was married and had three young sons. This is the bike I used to race. One day my brother, who rides Harleys, wanted to try it out. I told him to be careful, it is very powerful and quite peaky on the power band, he laughed that know-it-all Harley-guy laugh, saying, "It's a 250!" He got going, gave it full throttle and promptly wheelied and flipped it over backwards. Broke his foot and my brake lever. 215 pound bike with nearly 50 horsepower! What a freaking beast! I sold my for the same reason, once I quit racing, it will kill you quick on a trail. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 3, 2019 Amen Badboy, I never flipped mine but holy shit was it ever powerful. And way to much bike for me. My first bike was a Honda Trail bike. 90 cc. With a auto transmission. Much calmer 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
