OOfa! I crashed my '76 Triumph the other day. I have no memory of the actual crash. It was on a straight away, so I'm guessing a deer jumped out in front of me or something. No broken bones, but lots of road rash even with a leather jacket. Tank, seat and right side exhaust are done.

Maybe it was a polar bear? Lol jk glad you're ok! Motorcycles are fun, but a lot more dangerous. Be careful out there!

We have black bears here locally, But that's a great idea, why claim deer when bear is a possibility. Until further memory, I ran into a damn black bear on my motorcycle!

Is this going to stop your riding? A lot of people quit riding after a crash. I certainly can't wait to start riding!

Naw. I just need some new motorcycle parts. All of my skin bits are grown back and my jacket only has one small hole. Almost ready for summer.

Keep riding the limey. Almost as fun as mountain biking. A guy in town here has a fork mount bike rack coming off the back of his motorcycle to get his bike to the trail head.

My body is doing just fine. I've started a frame up restoration on the Triumph including adding steering stops to prevent tank slappers in the future.

Good to hear.
Also good that you'll be putting the bike back on the road.

Hi everyone,

I am a new to the forum and I just come to buy a new mountain bike for the races and as I am careful and I would like to protect my bike with a clear proctection.


For that, I saw the diferents prodcuts of clearprotect: http://www.clear-protect.com/kit-de-protection-invisible-cadres-velo-vt…

But I also heard to a new french brand "Slicy" with a lot of patches and mat finish: https://www.slicy-products.com/produit/sublimistick-ultimate/

Anyone had test these diferents prodcuts?

Good ride
