noob move
Well i just installed my new tire on bike, put the back whell back on, went to leave my house there is a bit of a corner infront of my house, was taking it easy doing about 10 mph, rolled throttle on just a bit not much at all and bye bye *** end, down she went! all i broke was the right mirror, and crached up the gay flame job, so i have a good excuse to paint it, i think its just going flat black for now!...what a day Friday the 13th!

Ouch man. I think every noob has made that same mistake. Luckily i was only going about 20 and stomped my foot on the ground to stop it. Foot bounced back into the fairing on the right side but a bruise is better than a broken bike. Go to streetfire.net and look up the video of the host of pinks doing the same thing. You won't feel so bad

yea that sucks but didnt the people that putthe tireon the bike make you sign a waiver stating that you should be easy on the tire the first 100 mi. i know that when i take mine in they make me sign that stupid waiver every time...but at least it is an easy lesson learned instead of a hard one....glad to see you are ok!

No i dont have to sign any waiver, i have been deeling with these guys my whole life, and my dad used to race with the owner of the shop. lol it was my stupidity, i should have known better. Im the one warning all my friends of that when they get new tires. Oh well **** happends..lol all i got is a sore *** and a bit of rash on my right knee. And yes it could have been worse.

one thing i always do when i get a new tire put on... light it up and go side to side, screw takin it easy for 100 miles whenever i leave i wanna get on it and dont have time to baby it for 100 miles. next time light it up and go side to side for a whole second and that will get rid of the 100 mile rule and will get the tire nice, warm, and sticky!
