Default Flipped the 250.

Guys be careful with those wheelies. I did a wheelie sitting down off of a terrace and it came back on the bar, no big deal....until it flipped over sideways. No damage really, but there could have been if it came down on me. That was the 1st time I have ever really 'wrecked' on my 250 so far, but not a scratch on it. Have fun riding, but stay safe.

Yeah, nasty stuff can happen out there.

I went riding this past weekend, the final ride before I took my Z-400 in for the break-in maintenance. So anyways, at one point, I accidentally pulled a wheely up this entire hill. It was scary, because I did not even realise I was doing it. So I had built up some speed, and had to get rid of get, now going down a hill that is slanted to the right. As I'm going down it, I hit the brakes too hard at one point which caused my weight to shift and the bike to tip!

I was so freaked out about it, but luckily it just rulled into this marsh pretty much. The handlebars are a little bent on the right side, but nothing else happened thank god. *tries to beat carefulness into head*

I've rolled mine twice. The first time after it wasn't even a month old. Came down a really rocky rutted hill on a turn, guess I got on the front brake a lil too much, back end came up and over. 3 other ppl saw that happen, and nobody is sure exactly what made me flip. I wasn't going very fast when it happened. The 2nd time I flipped I was going around a turn on wet grass in 4th with the throttle pinned. Backend slide out around and caught, sent me flying off sliding on my back for about 20 feet while I watched my Z roll a few times. That one hurt.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
