Title: Perils of a chopped rear fender Post by bobert_FSO on 04/18/13 at 06:28:53 Although I like the look of a severely bobbed fender (or none), I was always leery of the safety of such a configuration. This video confirms my fears. http://www.jokeroo.com/videos/fail/epic-road-rash.html |

It is an impressive story, and it probably happens more often than we realize. I need to look into getting some better gear....some gloves, a better helmet, etc. |

The only time I ever ran over my own leg....was around 1975. I was over at a friends house, and a neighbor came by with a Honda ATC90 I believe it was called. It was the first 3 wheeled affair from Honda with those big donut tires. I tried to ride the thing and everytime I tried to turn a corner the thing would hop and bounce and refuse to turn.....and at one point I tried to put my foot out while attempting a turn and I guess I forgot there was a bug bulgy tire right there behnd my foot/leg. Luckily I as going slow and there were no injuries. It turns out that they had a locked rear axle and the only way to turn was to lean to the outside of the corner and get the inside wheel to lift up off the gound.....something that was almost impossible to do for someome that had been riding on 2 wheels for 8 years...I was programmed "NOT" to lean to the outside. |
