That exact thing happened to me several years ago on my Honda Café. You go too fast, hit the brakes (notice skid) and your right peg hits the pavement flipping you over the other side. (notice sparks) Been all through the Malibu Canyons on the Wardawg with no problems, however I am currently in the process of building my Harley Café.

Darksider caught an edge? - skiers will know what I'm talking about

I remember this... I believe the rider is a member and he posted it a few months ago?

By Mustfire: My Dragon Crash

Begs the question, Low side or high side, which is better if you find yourself in this situation?

Akitadog is right. I recall it started a big discussion about the car tire. He was cool with it all. The accident happened so quickly that it was a surprise to him as well. He wasn't hurt too badly but the pride of the ride was quickly removed.

Makes me nervous for the Spring as I am planning a ride in either April or May to the Dragon Tail and take my turn on it with the Warrior.

Let it go and ride with confidence. Self fulfilling prophecy and all that, right?

The only self fulfilling on this is that I am making plans now to go and enjoy the ride. Pony up and ride that dragon.

Good. I saw this animated gif earlier today on the forum I linked to earlier in this thread and didn't remember it being discussed on this forum before. Once we all started talking about it and it was mentioned that the guy in the pictures is MustFire it started to come back to me some that this had been discussed on this forum before. And believe it or not I didn't even notice that it was a Warrior that crashed when I first posted it. If you look at the link I posted earlier in the thread you can see how the animated gif was right in the middle of several other bikes with car tires. So when I saw it I fixated on the car tire part. The only reason I posted it here (hanging head in shame) was to stir up a little sh!t about the whole "car tire on a motorcycle" thing. There, I've confessed. I stand by my original sentiment of hoping nobody was hurt badly from the crash. But I'm not promising to not try to stir up more sh!t in the future about car tires on bikes. Because that's how I roll. (with a motorcycle tire on the back of my motorcycle)
