DILLIGAF posted:So was he doing a stoppie or what? Your post was a bit ambiguous.... Was he doing a stoppie? I think the picture made that pretty obvious. Reinforced forks? I'd like to think forks are MADE to endure heavy breaking and harsh damping. This didn't happen because the guy is a "jackass" stunter that can't put on his front wheel or something stupid. His fork SNAPPED because the set screw on the 03-04 636 forks like to come loose and cause the tubes to flex around and weaken. My friend who tears up canyons came to me with the same problem on his 03 636. Fortunately he noticed his forks leaking before he met the same fate in the middle of a canyon.

Heavy braking puts more load on a fork than a stoppie. A stoppie's loads are limited to 1 g. So... figure 600lbs. With the back tire near the ground, you can see almost three times for force. Depending of course on the height of the CG. Like mentioned, there was something very wrong with those forks to cause them to fail like that. "stunting" won't do it. That's an interesting note about the setscrew though.... I'd expect those to be a press fit, not something that needs a setscrew.

I went to the Olley, Pa classic bike show a couple weeks back, place was nuts you couldn't go two feet without running into some ancient bike that could probably be considered a Musuem Piece:   Also a shot from a 2-stroke clubs group ride that I happened to wander into at the Van Sant airport:  As if my urge to build a cafe a racer wasn't already huge, I wish I had a bigger garage. More pictures from show are here if anyone is interested http://flickr.com/photos/21027691@N00/

Here's a video of a Corpus Christi moto-cop knocking over the bike of a suspect who ran after he is in custody. Fast forward to the last 25%.

That makes me feel a bit better, but deep down I would still want that guy to be able to press charges against the city and get his bike back in tip-top shape.

Just because you speed down a highway doesn't mean they can steal your car, does it? What if they were driving a Ferrari Enzo, would they suddenly get to keep a million dollar supercar?
