It's like they are drawn to owning a motorcycle that they outweigh. It's a mobility scooter. All that weight will mess a poor skeleton up.

Elviscat posted:I just don't loving understand the physics of this, how do you drop thre loving bike by applying front brake? Is he also putting massive input into the bars? Is he just stabbing the brake lever so hard that the front wheel instantly locks? Yes, to the last point. He may not have deliberately steered, but if you lock it up the wheel is going to twist off to one side or the other because you have the entire combined inertia of you and the vehicle trying to push the motorcycle past its own front end, and unless you've got titanium pipes for arms you won't be able to keep the steering in line. The wheel twists off to one side, it digs into the pavement even harder, and the bike falls over or throws you over the top, depending on the details.

I outweigh my dirt bike  I have big meaty gorilla hands and I've never locked the front on pavement, except for half a second in the wet, it must be the applying the brake in a short, swift stabbing motion that really does it.

Wait wasn't that a Ruckus? He locked up the front on a Ruckus? Those things have drum brakes, I didn't even think that was possible

It was a Grom. IMO his main mistake was trying to make some lit fam vlogs with his bro when he barely knew how to ride. He said he grabbed too much front brake but its not clear what else he actually did from the video. I bet he spazzed out a lot more than that. Now (as you can see in comments) this chucklefuck is submitting the video all over the place, preaching front brake safety for those sweet YT views. He kind of describes the other guy leaving the scene as if it was their fault he fell and like it was a hit and run situation. If it was a normal person that got hurt I wouldn't even laugh but this dude is a douchebag straight up and down. He sucks at Counter-Strike too. OK whew that's enough from me about this BS.

My experience with grabbing too much front brake on a grom is sickass stoppies. So maybe he just went over the bars while the bike did what it was built to do (ie sickass stoppies).

My money's on "panicked and locked up one arm but not the other", so locked the brakes and also wrenched on the bars at the same time. I don't see any flipping action in the video, he just goes down

I saw a guy at the gas station once filling up his grom, which had an extended swingarm of all things, and he probably was at least 100lb heavier than the bike

I don't know the right search terms to find the video, but there's this amazing video of Grom riders where someone crashes and it just keeps on piling up, but to the point of insanity. Someone else here must have that video it saved, it's great. *edit* Is it just me, or is there no way to search your youtube favorites? If so, that's insane. I can ctrl-f what's loaded, but I have beau coup favorites

 At 1/4 speed you can see how long it takes him to react, panics, and goes 100% on the brakes and loops it. Earlier in the video he says he spent $200 on a training class but clearly they weren't effective. Also he talks about his financing, who does a 5 year loan on $3k?

We call him busaboi and I look forward to seeing him every time

It's because groms attract the type of dipshit that thinks it's a motorized bicycle that doesn't require any actual training or respect.

Even a motorized bicycle should be treated with some level of caution you may not otherwise give a bicycle. Unless you’re going downhill or on dirt/off-road, it’s basically impossible to ride a bike beyond your ability. Add a motor, even a small electric one, and it’s a different story.

DRZ400SM, 47000-odd KM total, probably 3-4k KM's since the pads were changed (commuting only). The previous pads were SBS sintered 694SI's which feel amazing, I'm just surprised at how fast they've gone. I picked up braided lines at the same time that I've not even fitted yet because the bikes doesn't feel like it needs them...

Sintered pads going that quick (and not with track use) suggests you might have never actually bedded them in properly. Did you do the proper heat-cycling thing?
