Worth noting it also appears to have forks off a 636 or similar, the nsr never came with USD + radial calipers. edit: let alone an mc18 like that appears to be. I had one of those!

I think the story was that the throttle stuck open, I think on the HD video you can see him trying to close it frantically.

If there was only a lever on the other handle that controlled how much engine power is put on the ground. Not that I can talk, when I was 12 or 13 I was goin' super fast (to me at the time) on some old Honda 125 dirt-bike. My thinking ability slowed down because I was heading for the edge of a highway overpass near the dirt area we were riding in. So I did the thing that sounded best—closing my eyes and grabbing the front brake as hard as possible. I had a bruise on my leg for months from the bike landing on me, oops.

Welp, stopped by the bike shop the other day to price some gorilla mits for the upcoming winter and took a few snaps: Suzuki Street Magic II:  A lil Honda:  And down the street, the safest sidecar:  The rest of the stuff in the shop was mostly American-owned bikes in various states of dis-repair. They had a 4-wheeler modified into a Gator with plywood and plexiglass but I didn't get a pic because they were using it to haul parts/tires from their offsite storage and back. Next time!

I have one of those, but it's called a TW200 and the exhaust does not get torn free when I ride over a fallen log. I'll take a Grom.

KozmoNaut posted:Because it's called the "Street Magic II" and not "Grom". This. Also the grom/street magic arent really comparable to the TW, as they arent really designed to be off-road bikes. You'll mess up a grom if you take it over a log as well.

I know you guys love Groms and all but here is a video of a liter bike. I hadn't ridden a sports bike of any sort in almost half a decade much less 1000cc CBR. N8r was nice enough to let me ride this even after I crashed his other bike. I had forgotten how fun these kinds of bikes can be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QkhE-VD7hc&hd=1 Click here if you need to sleep or want to stare the inside of my windshield while I do stupid speeds through some fields.

BitcoinRockefeller posted:Dani Pedrosa, one of the best motorcycle riders in the world, crashed his bike and messed up his shoulder when his throttle stuck open. Pulling the clutch is the obvious right answer but I have a hard time making GBS threads on someone who can't figure it out one second after the huge shock of his motorcycle behaving completely differently than it has any other time ever. poo poo happens a lot faster at 100mph+ on a 240HP MotoGP bike than it does on even a 50HP dirtbike.

Hell, even when poo poo's unfolding slowly to an observer, it's all happening at once to the rider.
