General Discussion / Re: Rider down. Caution!! some pics are graphic!
« on: March 11, 2011, 12:21:50 AM »
What happened was I was driving along a, probably 30 mph, while checking my mirrors.  looked ahead to see all the vehicles stopping because a car was slowing wayyyy down to make a turn. 

I had to choose, go thru the rear glas or lay it down.  I layed it down.  I slid off to my left...

next thing I know im laying on the ground trying to get up.  Some people were already out of their cars telling me to stay down so I sat there holding myself up. 

I was out long enough for them to gather... I just realized that.

Anyway, struggled up and looked to see the scooter on its side.  I went to pick it up and I realized I didn't have one of my sandles on...  found it, it was busted.

Picked up the scoot and apparently took a picture on my helmet on my scooter.  got into an ambulance and was handed my walet.  I had given it to somebody because they needed my info.

Off we went to the hospital...

CT scan set for monday... I'm still getting dizzy whenever I lay down or get up.

I was foolishly not wearing gloves and wearing flip flops. 

Hands are ok really, feet...  I cant wear shoes and flip flops are a pain...

scooter seems ok, its at the shop getting checked.  Mostly small scrapes on the plastics and a crack up near the headlight.  right brake lever bent.

Super 8 150.

Layed the bike down on Monday.  Most of the damage is to my left. 

Arm in a sling, scrapes, cuts... 

I'm sure I have a concussion (though initial tests were negative)

no major breaks but I feel like I have a cracked rib.

get as much helmet as you can buy. 

Just crashed and there are scrapes all over my front screen.  scrape on my chin cause I don't have a full face.

Super 9 / Re: will a performance exhaust make a big diffrence.
« on: March 06, 2011, 04:18:17 PM »
tune your variator, get an open air filter (like k&n or UNI), change to an irridium spark plug and adjust your jet size.  Exhaust will help but Id start on the suck part of the process rather than the blow.

I used the brush and lower pressure spot free settings.  Also made sure not to expose any one area to the water for very long.

I use the spot free rinse to wash the soap off.  It's always set at a lower pressure than the other choices.

Agility 50 / Re: trailer
« on: March 04, 2011, 03:18:17 PM »
Generally familiar with laws on 50cc scoots...

how do they affect the trailer?  Don't all trailers have to be registered or meet some guidelines?
