Title: What do you guys think ?
Post by: MetalMike1982 on April 26, 2012, 03:27:18 PM
 Lastnight I was at my local track riding practice night haveing a good time , bike felt great I felt great and had 2 awesome rides . At the end of the second practice were being waved off the track to exit and a 19yr old kid hits me wide open on a yamaha 250f . My bike cartwheeled then landed on my back with the rear wheel spinning due to the throttle being stuck wide open in 2nd gear . Once I realize whats going on my bike is wide open laying on the ground behind me so I crawled over and killed it . meanwhile  the kid is rolling around on the ground groaning so I get up and limp over to see if he's ok and he starts talking shit to me about me being in the wrong for being as far over on the exit side of the track and exiting as we were all supposed to be doing . Well long story short it almost ended up being a 20 person brawl  but luckily didnt .

My concern is the bike , The throttle cable housing got snapped and thats what caused it too tach out for 20 or so seconds . Should I tear the topend down after something like that? its probably only got 15-20 hrs on the current topend of mostly lite trail riding with my fiancee . What do you guys think ?



On a side not I will say I was blown away at the ignorance of the kid wanting to run his mouth instead of caring if the other guy (me) was ok after he blasted into me 100% at fault .

Thar sucks man... Is the throttle housing the only damage done to the bike? Or you for that matter? But, running wide open for 20 seconds shouldn't be an issue, but it wouldn't hurt to open it up and check, even if you just take the expansion chamber off and peek inside.

   Suprisingly that and my new 2012 rmz450 front number plate being a little tweaked is all that happened to the bike . The bad part was that the impact from the kid hitting me was to the right side of my body so I'm limping around pretty good today and I have strawberries all over my right arm and leg , but the worse part is when the back wheel landed on my back it left a burn out mark on my lower back and all the way up my chest protector and helmet. I literally have starcross s4 tracks on my lower back  ::)

Battle scars  ;D And I think there is a way to straighten out the plastic fender, but I'm not sure how. But the while stress marks in the plastic will stay...

 The only piece of plastic that was damaged was the front number plate but I fixed it and now you cant even tell anything happened. Its amazing that my bike came out of it in as good of shape as it did . The kid that hit me had his left radiator all folded up afterwards so I was happy about that . I'm going back next thursday and I'm gonna have some fun with that kid , that and the fact that 3 or 4 guys I'm friends with are gonna be out to get him means I have to go . Gotta love good friends  ;D

On a good note I got to meet Tim Ferry lastnight , and his little 5 or 6 yr old son is crazy fast on his KTM50 .

Well that's good hahaha. At least the kid had to pay a little. But the important thing is no one got badly injured.

That sucks man!! did you hurt yourself?? Hope no!!

The kid got pissed of because your bike was laying on the ground working he figured that he had to kick his bike 127 times to start..

what a cock!!!! I dunno how you restrained yourself I would've kicked the shit out of him then crowbared his bike... he probably couldn't stop in time cos of all that four stroke flab. xandyx has a point too, maybe he was dreading the leg pump he was about to encounter just from kicking his bike up. I'd keep an eye on your brakes though, might need to check them when your practicing... ALOT. And always when hes behind you... Oh wait he'll only be behind you when you lap his arse 5 fold

Yeah no doubt . the kid had the nerve to call me a begginer and told me to ride with the right class  ::). I was just out play rideing and still only had like 6 or 7 guys pass me out of 25 or more and he wasnt one of them . I did have a whole shit pile of people telling me I had the best looking bike on the track though  :D. It's going to be interesting to see what happens to the kid next thursday . I didnt want to catch an assault charge and get kicked out of the track for effen him up so I was pulling a Ronnie move and telling him to come at me everytime he started running his mouth so it would be considered self defense but he stayed 30ft away  ::)

the kid was probably being a squid and not paying attention to what was going on like he shoulda been in the first place. i say you and your friends have some fun with the kid next time at the track metalmike and if he tries doing the same thing to ya again i know of a good place you can put your front tire  :o  ;D

the kid did ok because you kept it easy in that situation, if he had argued with another kind of person, he could had figured it with a couple os slaps..

Yeah kids these days... Even if they punch a random dude in the face down the street they'll deny they were in the wrong tooth and nail. Too arrogant to have the good graces to accept they were wrong. I mean if it had been me that had been hit and the kid had been something along the lines of: "Fuck dude are you okay? Man i'm so sorry I was in my zone and just didn't see the flag, god bro im so sorry. I'll pay for any damage done" Then hey whats the big issue? but no.... lets be a fag and stick to our guns. I miss the days when everyone at the local club knew everyone and loved riding with them. Honestly though, he is lucky it was you he smacked into not one of the alarmingly impatient people that are often at the track, I doubt he would've had a smart mouth for long if that was the case

I gotta say I am mainly with beating the piss out of him. Or at bare minimum wait until hes off the track, catch him behind a trailer having a piss or something. break his little piss pump off and use it as an exhaust plug. Probably loose it down your pipe though

Yup Florida .  Believe me guys I was really close to whipping the kids ass but I am 30yrs old and there were a lot of little kids around so I didnt want to look like as big of a jackass  as the kid was .  I WILL  take it out on him on the track along with a few of my buddy's that ride the same class . Thursday cant get here soon enough . >:-D >:-D

Forget about him and move on... he sounds like an A-hole and nothing you or your friends do will change that.  If you want to beat him, beat him on the track and forget the off-track stuff..

As far as the bike, make sure you repair the throttle, (the last thing you want is a throttle stuck WFO when you least expect it)  and go over the rest of the bike to ensure all is well.  Heal up, fuel up and go have some fun.

The more I think about it the more I wanna do as you've said to do .  I'm a firm believer in karma so the kid will get whats coming to him no matter what .

Already got the new throttle housing and put it on so the bikes back to ready to go . It really amazed me to see no impact marks on the bike but now that I'm on day 4 I really feel it and still think my body is what took the hit . I'm gonna ride thursday no matter how I feel though .

At my age, (almost 50   :o), I have developed a riding ritual that I follow  ...  2 ibuprofen before, and 2 ibuprofen after really helps with the sore muscles?   :D

You young guys don't laugh, it really does help.  Hey you too are going to be getting "older" some day.

WFO throttle is really... really painful. Tis what happened to me. Just an average day really, everything was going well, I was coming out of a rough rutted left hander and entering some small whoops. I've gotten pretty good at staying in the really sweet spot with my baby and it was unfortunately right there when the throttle jammed itself wide open and I barreled flat out into an upside of a big fat whoop. Straight over the bars, atleast one flip in the air I think, everything is pretty hazy now, bike rolling up my back (yeah that tickled) and it smacking into the ground. Not a thing on the bike broke nor a thing on me and to this day I have no idea how. Sweet mother of god it hurt though. Thank fuck the bike just stalled once on the ground and I was just left to fade in and out of consciousness for a few what I think were minutes. I wish I could've stayed unconscious for the next few days though...

I know I made a smart ass comment (and I don't apologize for that) but what you should really do is walk over to the kids pit with a 6-pack of your favorite adult beverage and sit down with him and his crew. Slowly and nicely explain to him what he did wrong and let him know you care about the sport and your track, that you are there to help him in the future, and no hard feelings.

And if he is a dick about it, when he crashes, be sure to tell the paramedics you saw him drinking in the pits!

A six pack would be great for him... provided you shov all the empty bottles up his arse. Theres no way he'll back down, like I said, teenagers are stubborn pricks

Now that is just too funny...  I like "when" not if but when he crashes...

Ahhh the four jokes. Atleast they're providing us real motocrossers, trail riders alike with amusement while we bury our front wheels into berms and do a $400 full engine rebuild every now and then. The only use for valves is being framed with the words: Fuck this shit! in big gold letters underneath it. but seriously, I stacked all the time in my dumper days, couldn't keep the fat shit upright. So much damn faster, I'm hoping to get some vids up of me riding tomorrow.

 Well went last night had 3 good rides and no #143 (the kid) . He didnt show up this week .  ::)

I was one of the fastest guys on the track within my practice class 125/250f beg/c/b . I've been riding just about everyday at a private track( sugar sand) 2 blocks from my house and its paying off bigtime . I actually like the sugar sand better than clay as crazy as that sounds and I'm way faster on a sand track for some reason .  it feels good to get most of my endurance back after having none for so long  8)
