watkins Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 A while back we were down at a place called Otay near the Mexican Boarder (you ride along the border wall), I was putting around on my '76 CR125 Elsinore, and my buddy had a newer CR250. I hopped on his 250 and went to work riding around for a bit. About a mile a away from everone I found a nice double. Being used to my 125 I just pinned the 250 and was in 4th gear when I hit the lip.... next thing I know I am waking up with the bike ontop of me covered in gas. I felt fine.. didnt think much of the gas, uprighted the bike... kicked it.. fired right up.. locked behind me and noticed that the double was really a triple and my front tire must have hit the 3'rd and sent us both flying. So I raced back to my friends like nothing happend. Now when I get back to then.. they are wondering what the hell happend because the gas tank has a hole in it about the size of a football, and you could see my kneecap (skin was ripped right off my knee). I wasnt hurting at the time, so I thought real quick.. and went to my truck, grabbed some duct tape and proceeded to tape up the whole in the gas tank. We rode for a few more hours, but kept having to patch up the tank because the gas was eating through the tape. Went to Jack in the box, ate some food, * went home... few hours later, i decided to inspect my knee and then rushed myself to the ER. They had to clean all the dirt out and that is probably the worst pain i have ever felt in my entire life!!!! Long story short.. dont be a dumbass and try to do crazyness on someone elses bike. Quote
nater006 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 Good moral to the story... make sure you know what you're jumping over our riding area near my parents place (pre-college residence).. its great and has lots of huge jumps. There's a big table-top in one section with a very large downslope on the other side. My friend didn't ride it first (I won't jump unless I look first) and landed his YZ250 in a washout on the down slope and flippy flippy flippy. Quote
