me and my wife were headed out to ride the quadzilla with the pertty new fenders and fresh rebuild #27 of 200 builds . i am riding in front of her down the dirt road . i pull off to go to our normal parking place  and she went on down the road to meet me . as i pull up a few mins after she arrived which i should have been there all ready she wants to know why i am now carrying one of the front fenders. A 65mph 5th gear wheele sometimes reminds you to not look around and see who is watching.we still at a good ride.

the last story i got, we were out in mojave CA picking our way through chaparral on the way back to our camp which was by a dried up river bed. i could see the camp and too my left i thought i spied the end of the river bed, so i continued to make my 91' kdx200 fly as much as a 91 kdx200 can fly, and the dang river bed snuck up on me! i was a little late on the whole reacting to the terrain thing, and with both tires locked up i launched us off a good 13 foot drop. thank god i landed on the only spot in the entire river bed that wasn't occupied by a rock, i landed rolling on my back without a scratch and unburied my bike, took off like nothing happened. except all my friends saw and made fun of me 8-) no room for daydreaming out there

nothing more fun at the end of a hard work day other than coming home and taken the bike for a nice ride!

 So now to my story i had a old 83 honda cr 480 traded it for a old yamaha 3 wheeler that was gave to me man was this bike nice.
the bike looked to be totally restored. so i knew a guy that wanted the bike really bad and i had no use for it other than the fact it was a bike bore bike and i love the thrill of riding a bike bore. so the guy meets me at my house 530 on the dot so we go for a ride i get out the kx5 and we take off we make it back in the trials and the guy hands me the cash says no matter what i want this bike so i sat there on hill enjoying the day and the guy rides off down a hill threw a small valley and i realize man hes really halling the mail here next thing i see is him flying over the hill witch is a drop off of about 60 foot to the bottom he flys at least 30 feet straight in the air that old cr480 would run bout 120 next to a yzfr1 and i know the guy was on the high side of 4th gear so going prob i dunno 80 so i start my bike rush over to were hes at he is standing there holding his side dirt bike broke in half literally the only thing i could say to the guy was im gald u already paid for it..

n2682:
i have another good story for you
 
so when i was about 15 or 16 the kid down the road had an old yamaha dirt bike an enduro or some kind i cant remember well he couldnt get it started so i made my down there to help out before he beat it to death with a hammer i tell him let me see this bike i usually can get anything running so there is two hill on the road i live on one going north one goign south and we live right on top of the hill so i push it down the hill going north and it fires so im like im gonna ride it and see what it has so i turn around and start grabbin gears well the throttle stuck wide open it was either grab more gears or blow it the kill switch didnt work no brakes what so ever so at the end of the road is a jog and a woods with a cross street two cars were coming one from each direction just like outta a movie well i cleared both cars hit the side of the lil hill basically backfliped off the bike it lands in the trees and catches fire there was about 6 people standing on top of the hill looking down the road at me i couldnt feel my legs for about 30 mins everyone walked down the road and stood there looking at me and was like are you alright im like yup just figured id set here and see how long it would take for you guys to come check on me. turns out the kid painted the bike including the carb with no filter on it go figure the throttle stuck wide open and the brakes yeah he took the shoes out for some unknown reason i guess the moral of this story is dont just get on a bike and ride check the throttle and brakes out first i learned the hard way but it was one heck of a ride. nick from michigan

 :-o  woow how lucky can you be  :roll:

i had a same sort of situation with my '81 yammi 125
we had a homemade track in our hood
there were big jumps made with tractor and sure we jumped them hard
till one jump ended up in a fall ,
that putted half the right side in to the soil.
leaving the throttle fully opened burried deep in the mud :x
it now laid there totally gone wild ...
only thing left to do was rip the cap off the plug
if done so at full rev,s the voltage is huge but not lethal
but sure my arm was paralized for several minutes and very painfull too

did this action cross your mind ,or didn,t it ?
i my case it killed the engine lucky me
