First Case of Road Rash
-
Posted my first collision last year on another thread, but now I've ended up giving myself a bit of road rash from this silly move just yesterday. Skip to 1:22 for the main event.

That's a two stroke mx 80 / 85 for you... Nasty power curves
Tiny bit on my arm from where my jacket sleeve rolled up, and a nice big patch on my leg as it ripped through my joggers. I can't imagine this was past 20mph but I wouldn't want to experience it going much faster. Just thankful my gloves and footwear had enough protection!
TDR 125 - 2001

opps that was not good and bet it painful

Think those little bikes are underestimated I bought a kx 85 for my 8yr old son and that thing will power wheelie on the power band 1st 2nd and third with me on it and I'm a tad over 16 stone from pull away it will kill my dt

@Mightyman You should have stayed on the grass dude!!!
-
@andrewj1680 it's the power to weight ratio, I can get this to power wheelie in fourth at the mo
. Loads of fun though, so I'll keep at it!

@andrewj1680 Don't underestimate a 2-stroke for sure. My cousin was 12 years old when my uncle bought him a YZ80 from the mid 80s. I remember my cousin took for a ride but came back rather quickly without his knee-cap. Apparently he skidded on gravel and his knee was the first thing that hit the ground and of course that is really unlucky, especially since he was in shorts. He had a hole in his left knee the size of a golf ball and well, in the space of 20 minutes after getting the bike he's at the hospital and getting a metal plate stuck in his knee. Moral of the story, wear some protection no matter how small the trip OR the bike!

Similar story with a cousin of mine, only he did both knee caps by going on the back of a superbike. Think the rider must have flipped a wheelie with him on the back or something... really grim...

I did both on a dtr thinking I was clever that thing would wheelie in forth
