Hah - awesome. Well not awesome. That sucks in fact. But at least she's back up and running.

I liked your review of your T-Rex frame sliders... and THEN you have a T-Rex sticker on her don't you? hahah I'd take that thing off asap.

Nothing wrong with the T-rex's. Glad I had mine in my premature dismount. Saved me hundreds. Just don't get the no cuts :P

^premature dismount, I like the wording.

As for the post mechanic, it seems A LOT of people post the same things over and over, most being "noobs" like yourself. And while you didn't ask a question about them, it was still a DERP moment for the rest of us. I apologize.

i did disconnect the battery maybe for not long enough. im fairly sure nothing mechanical is bad due to the bike running about 4-5 seconds after it hit the groud before i just shut off like someone cut the power to the ignition. In other news because of the wreck me and the gf broke down and bought a 1991 black mr2 ( my previous one kinda bit the dust and i lost $7,500) on it. So i had been looking for one and found 2 at the same place both for around 3k so we took one home..on the way it apparently snapped the alternator belt (made it about 110 miles before the squealing abruptly stop and the battery light came on) luckily it made it home (died in the parking lot due to dead battery) sooo hopefully i can return both vehicles to an operable condition tomorrow . And appreciate all the advice i hope reseting the sensor works certainly would beat a repair shop trip and my baby gone

My bike came with no cuts. You know the sliders unscrew from the no-cuts right!? Talk about a 2 minute backyard mechanic job.

Back on topic pleaseeeee

Oh hardy hardy har at your 2 minute backyard mechanic job joke, IM STILL LAUGHING. And the guy who i got it from stripped the ****ing bolt so i couldnt take them off and leave the front engine mounts unsecured. and you could say that i should buy the front engine bolts and spacers, but that costs money.

On the No Cuts topic...


So can we stop berating people over them? Kai has enough dog food and it's a much higher quality than horse meat
