A video will follow on my youtube tonight. Basically my riding skill and bravery far exceeded the mechanical limits of our bikes when offroading. Don't try climbing a 40 degree slope that's about 10 feet tall once your tires are covered in mud. You will fail and crash.

yep done that on Fox hill at Laguna Seca and had my Hayabusa take a tumble when I got stuck in dirt at the top of the hill side.

Glad you Grom don't look that bad and hopefully you are ok

Like I said Ride Safe

 

[fumbling]

well if you had to crash at least dirt and mud is softer than concrete ...

 

[mad8vskillz]

probably didn't even hurt anything except your pride

maybe some knobbies woulda helped, and im sure if you clutched up a wheelie it woulda gone right over lol jk

Dodgerider26 are really just that dumb for trying to climbing a slope with street tire I mean come on an old Honda CT70/90/110 could have easy got up that hill with right tire.

 

[NeeksRR]

Looks like you might need some trials tires

 

[Administrator]

You're pretty good at keeping your composure. My video would likely have had a lot more F-bombs in it!

lol

Stew

 

[Lozonic]

Yeah i'd say the same.

It it were me I would have been pissed lol

 

[chye]

hows the bike now? whats the damage?

 

[Dodgerider26]

Damage was non existent. No fairing damage, no fender damage, no engine damage, mirror never touched. Literally the only thing that happened is that the bar end was scratched.

You sound like the kind of person that would argue it's better to drive to the top of pikes peak instead of climb it. I can't imagine how boring my life would be if I never pushed myself for a little adventure. Live a little, it's fun!

 

[forkseal]

Mine will be road ridden only. I love it and dont even want a chance of wrecking it or even getting it dirty

Either you are stretching the truth, or the picture was staged. No way you only got bar end damage with the bike laying flat over on the ground like that.
Grass (or carpet) fall is the only way to avoid scrapes.

So I take it you didn't watch the video then?

 

[AKohler883]

I just did. I'm still confused. I guess I would be too picky, I'm sure I would have gotten down and brushed the poor little bike off and found all kinds of damage, and then have been sad ;-)
Hey, I have an XR80 I will trade you, you can beat that up all you want, it's old

thats good to hear.

so some minor damage, a lesson learnt, and a bit of frustration.

you and your GROM live to ride another day

 

[Stator Killer]

GUYS!....

Just be glad that Doderider went out there to push the grom to the limits to show us the possibilities. If it was for him many would be iffy about hitting the highways. And in this case now most of you know the grom might need better nobbie tires to make the climb if you even want to attempt at all.

But anyways, I appreciate these videos bro keep em coming
