Just got the bike running was so excited (Bout 1 year ago). Clutch didn`t disengage. Kick started and started moving because didn't know how to fix clutch at the time. Torqued the clutch basket way too tight. But i didn`t care i had just fixed a junk motorcycle i picked up a suzuki sp 125 and fitted it into my VW fox and brought it home (Bring a truck next time) Policee don`t like birt bike sticking out of a tiny car. Imagine a dirtbike in the back sear of a honda civic hatch back. Didn`t get pulled over and its not as bad as i`m making it sound. both tires were off and rear passenger door was opened aobut 4 inches thats all.

Took it out on the road in the wet weather. Knobby rear tire. Didn`t know how to use rear brake. came to a stop sign. Didn`t stop (Clutch no disengage) car came and stopped for his stop sign kinda spooked me. tried to turn the corner but thought i was going round the corner too fast so i hit front brake while turning and slid out from uner me 2 or 3 mph. (Shin Scrape)

At this point i was thinking to myself God gave me the ability and intellegence to fix morotcycles and make them run but riding them was a different story for that time being. (Hansom guy in picture is me after a hard long day of work)

this also 1 time breaking on gravel front tire was sliding and i turned it to the side, slid out from under me. more scrapes...

It's been an on-going problem.. This front end sliding issue and I. Had another issue to mention but forgot what it was. it'll come to me later.

Oh motorcycles can do wheelies much easier than a bicycle whitch i had been riding for about 2 years 5-15 miles a day.

OK I REMEMBER All you SP guys when you replACe your pads. (Break pads that is) Make sure they are pads on each side of rotor i made the mistake of running the break to the caliper and back of a pad.. Wait 1 sec!! the back of my pad wasn`t scratcheD! OH Good!! i didn`t do it. someone must have breaked all the way through a pad and into the caliper now it needs a new caliper and rotor isn`t prety either.

Take my mistakes and learn from them. Don`t be stupid. Just because it runs don`t ride it!! I know people get excited. like i did. Given the same situation i`d probally do the same thing again. But in a safer way. Down a closed road or something.

Anyone wanna fund me on a helmet. No forget that. I have some money i`m willing so spend i have about 15$ saved up for the bike anyone have an old helmn the`ll sell and send for 15$? I`m just a poor college kid. Nursing is my major. I`m also gonna be pre/med one of theese days and eventually be a Pediatric MD

Thanks for sharing your experiences, but you really should warn of the impending carnage before posting images like that. Better yet, just describe it literally and spare us the graphics. They didn't go well with my breakfast.

Check the thread display options in your user control panel (user cp). Maybe you've got it set up to not show pictures?

Well i`m a nurse.. or will be very soon and going pre med and i love gashes and scars. its almost like looking at a valve cover made of plexiglass. Can see innerworkings and stuff. No seriously. thats gross i admit but itsa not that bad. I wouldn`t consider it impending carnage. Maybe a small warning (Prepare for minor laceration)
