I did it AGAIN!!!! some people never learn from their mistakes...

Back in 01 I did the SAME EXACT THING!!! I looped a wheelie going down hill while shifting from 1st into second gear...


...and last night there I was...no gear cruising around...screwing around pulling wheeiles all over the place....showing off in front of people...so heading down a small hill i get cocky and decide to shift into second..and WHAMO hear she comes.... I hit the rear brake but it is so out of adjustment it doesnt help and the next thing you know I am sliding down the street on my ass!!!!

[OreoGaborio]

you're not an idiot but you would be if you're on the z1k.

[WOTEugene]

Ahaha... for a second there I thought you looped the Z1k. I would have had to come down and beat you with a stick if that were the case.

I, on the other hand, tipped my Z1k over in my driveway two days ago

[MsHap]

Did I mention I do not like your 50?

I still think the best was when Prozak grabbed the throttle cable and it ran around and bit you.

[bigred875]

lol..yes I am ok.. but my 50 does have a bit of an attitude problem..

eug wtf!!! how'd ya do that? any damage?

[Awesome]

Rear brake is everything on the 50, make sure it's adjusted and you shouldn't need to shift while wheelying it.

I was groggy in the morning as it was about 10 minutes after I got out of bed. And we have a shitty driveway that's bumpy/gravely. I was backing the bike out like I've done at least 50 times before by pulling on the bars and walking beside it. I was going over some bump and got a bit too hamfisted with the brake and pointed the wheel in a funny direction, the bike lost balance and before I could react it fell on the right side

No substantial damage - a little scratch on the bottom of the engine case cover and that round red case cover cover thing, and I bent my right bar-end mirror a bit, which apperently took the brunt of the impact.

Hey Ryan... maybe you should have started on something smaller

[highsider]

50's are mean. I have a hug scar on my right arm from a 50.

Of course, I was under the impression that the only way they go into 2nd gear was with the throttle wide open.

I hug my fiddy all the time. The trick is to wait until the exhaust has cooled completely.

I spent a month in the hospital, 8 hours in surgery, and 7 months not walking due to a 50.

[Cam_In_IL]

That 50 is gonna be the death of you. I still have my scar from when I crashed on a 50 two years ago at Laconia.

[Hardcore]

I died once on a 50!
