spokes Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 (edited) Heres what happend today............ My mate purchased his first bike yesterday, a mint 02 Sherco 250. ( From Cheltenham ) The rest goes like this ...... Bike off trailer Helmet and boots on Start bike ( let it warm up ) Jump on Potter around the car park for a bit ( Before entering the woods ) Pull throttle wide open ( By accident ) whilst turning Couldn't grab the clutch Slammed into a brick wall at full wack ! At first he looked OK with just a chipped tooth and a chunk of flesh out of his chin ! Bike OK apart from snapped clutch lever and bars pushed forward But then about 15 mins later he got an itch on his right arm, rolled his sleeve up to reveal a 2 inch wide puncture/flesh wound in his arm with lumps of torn flesh hanging out of it !! The clutch lever had snapped in his arm and then fallen on the floor ! And he could'nt feel any pain ! I'm sure he wont mind me talking about this as we all saw the lighter side of it after a while. He's all stitched up now and cant wait to try again !! Hope you will all join me in welcoming Lee to the wonderful world of Trials ! Get well soon Lee !

spokes Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Car parks are not the best place to learn to ride a trials bike! The above is right to a certain extant but they provide flat ground on which to warm the bike up and to practice the basics. Before moving across the road to the woods. Hope you dont think that we're riding around an NCP Car Park! Just the industrial estate ! He had to have the flesh in his arm pushed back in and a gause inserted to stop it from bulging the 10 stitches ! Poor lad Christ on a moped Not heard that one before ! Like it !

hrc2002 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Before moving across the road to the woods. Jesus! Be thankful it was in the Car Park, could have had another Marc Bolan on our hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
