BIG L Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Me and my mate steve was riding from my house to his house. We was picking up speed and he went to bunny hop a speed bump and his handle bars snapped. At first i thought he was trying to do it one footed. But as it turned out when he pulled up the left side snapped off and he atoumaticly brand his right foot up to try and balance. This didn't work and he slid about 6 feet along the ground but amazingly he wasn't hurt all he did was snap his bars. Not even his magura hose snapped!Sorry about the size of the pictures!Cheers BIG L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay119 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 That sucks man. I had some bars snap once, going off a curb would you believe it! They just got way too stressed and we're going to go the next time I pulled on the bars, lucky really that it wasn't some huge drop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alun Goch Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Gutted yeah, be glad though as it could'ave been far worse! Sweet bike too, get a better lever though heheAlun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG L Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 get a better lever though heheAlunYeh im well surprised he didnt snap the lever. He is well lucky everytime he bails or something he never ever gets hurt or brakes his bike. The only things he has ever broken on his bike are them handle bars, and his old freewheel locked but that wasn't his fault.Cheers BIG L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEELYHOT Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Whos fault was it?? whos fault was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG L Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 It was no ones fault really. Well you could say it was his because he only lubed it once since he had it. Oh well he has a well nice white industrys one now i think thats what he said it was anyway.Cheers BIG L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
