Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 What is the best or should I say worst idea that you have come across or can think of. For example the idea of infer-red that was on the forum a while back, because it total defeated the point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza wanabe Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 My best but worst idea i have tryed is gapping to a rail from a 5 ft wall on an onza-t vee with a hs 11 rear break lol it was crazy and my break slipped and the seat smashed my ass lol, so i now ride seatless.

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hopping to poles is never a good idea, in my case it has never ended well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyfey Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 mine must be riding when under the influence of alcohol ,was a very very interesting After drinking a few too many Cpt. Morgan + Coke's I went for a ride in my mates garden... I found it really helped my riding. I was going for stuff which I'd never normally attempt and making a lot of it. Just don't try anything stupid or you're bound to end up hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 C'Mon, think of ideas you have thought that sound really good but are so obviously dumb.*In lieu of Chocolate teapot, helicopter ejector seat etc*Mine was tar pads.Man how stupid was that.

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 That was the kind of thing i wanted from this topic. O sorry just realised that i missed out the kind of importent word "brakes" when i started this topic, so the stupid idea was infer-red BRAKES! Also another stupid idea i thought of was to have some kind of rocket booster thing on the chain stay to when you gap you hit the button and the little rocket thing go off and launch you miles . Would be cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Ah I remember one, I was trying to shorten a Hs33 hose without having to rebleed, so to do that my TPA had to be on full minus so there was little or no pressure on the fluid.So I thought, If I take the lever out there is no pressure at all, piston then pops out and gets air into the system.Then I had to pay for a rebleed. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Bradford Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 trying to trials hop onto a pole with a v brake and i ended up with a nice cut on the back of my head so now i wear a helmetyou had a hs33 and it was on a wall put the rest is true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamant_a2 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 my best stupid idea was when a copper asked me if my brakes were good i told him i wasnt sure and for him to have a ride. i told him the front one wasnt too good, (its hopemono trial), so to pull it hard. he did and went straight over the bars. that landed me locked up over night in skegness polce statin and an 80 pound fine.also my lever started leaking oil from the grub scew. i tightened it and filled it with glue and hey presto, it stil leaks. bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Trying to gap Anzo's bike last year while being totally drunk. Would have ended well if i didnt forget you brits have the brake levers the wrong way round. Only felt the pain next morning when i woke up sober.

max-t Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Cant think of any bad ideas but i can think of something funny.I was bleeding a mates brake and i was just about to put the bolt in to seal it all, so what does he do...Walks over and goes,"arr, is it done yet?" and squeezes the lever squirting it everywhere and all over his bedroom floor.
