my supermoto

[old mate]

thought i'd post up a pic of my other motorbikes, since i don't ride my wr with its dirt wheels anymore.

here's my 2003 yamaha WR250F, looks better in the photos than it does in real life, its seriously worn out but is still running so i use it for the odd trail ride around the place.

i've put a different exhaust cam in, different muffler, grippy seat and got the suspension done. pretty stock.

and this is my mx-er, its a 2008 crf450r, done a fair bit of work and is dead standard apart from a stepped seat that should be coming in on tuesday (seat in pics is my old mans stepped seat, im getting the same). might be taking it out for a spin on sunday, should be good.

these things are sending me broke when i work 1 day a week haha.

broke my collarbone on my red bike today, its so awesome.

so now the supermoto is going to be stripped of its suspension and get it properly set up, again.

HAHA, how did you manage that?

was racing some motorcross, as you do. broke a few ribs too

got the holeshot out of the start in the second race of three in my class (open a, b & c combined) and was really haulin ass
was just the start of lap 3 and was coming into right hand 180 degree corner, i was looking to make up some time on the leaders (i slipped back with a few silly mistakes) so i went to the inside on the way into the corner. there was what i thought was a little muddy patch but it was hiding a big hole which stopps the bike dead. as i was on the brakes hard, when i went in the hole i went straight over the bars in about 3rd gear, and landed on my head and side.

at first i couldn't breathe and couldn't work out what happened. i got up, with the help of some spectators and walked back to the pits with someone pushing my bike in. bike got some more scratches, a broken clutch lever and a slightly bent subframe.

as my old man was racing in the same class, so i waited for him to finish the third race and went off to x ray.

i reckon having my leatt brace on saved my neck from serious injury, but it probably is the reason that my collarbone got broken. ribs are just busted from hitting the dirt that friggin hard.

Sucks to hear about the carnage mate!
I should post up a pic of my bike sometime. How long have you been riding for?

 

[old mate]

new rear mudguard fitted, no lights or numberplate mounted on yet though (waiting for things to show up from the USA).

bike would have lost about 2kg from all the steel frame for the numberplate and all that jazz.
