Yup i dropped it , not my bike though , i was busting some wheelies on that agressive modified XR650R , that Sucker can pop a wheelie from z 4th gear with no clutch , pop z first one no problem , second wheelie was even better & i shift it from 2nd to 3rd & i was going . The 3rd one i ate it , it felt like it was taking gas even when i shut z throttle down from z 2nd gear , and i tried to pedal z rear breaks but z lever was too low , so i started to get ready for z fall . I wasn't hurt at all just a small rd rash on my elbow and matching one on my right butt cheek , i guess my protective gear did their job and oh yeah i made a hole in my nice yellow pants DAM IT , i lifted z bike up and inspected it for any damage , amazingly z only this damage was z foot pedal was bent a little (rear break) . So with help from our chase truck -Robin- we were able to bent it back and continue our off-rd journey for z next 20 mi. . R.R. coming soon .

Wow! Glad you are ok. Whos bike was it? Are you serious about a wheelie from fourth gear with no clutch? Was it geared really low? It sounds like that xr might be able to "smoke" a certain 500 cc bike out there. Thats good because certain 500cc bikes need to be put in there place, because they are getting way to big for their britches!( I jest! I jest!) Anyway, glad you are ok. You must have been pushing it a little if you fell so I give you props for that. I have never tried shifting while wheelieing, you are hardcore. I only hope someone got A picture of you flying off the back of that Mighty XRR!!!

Thanks Matt , i am fine , it was Brian from Cal. he's Chick4Klr's best friend and he joined us to z cabin , i wouldn't do it from 4th gear on this particular bike there's something not right in z carb or z float .
This bike is tricked out well, it have baja carb kit , gearing was way low almost 50t in back and 14T front . It output so much power for a light bike.
Pics. will be posted soon it's just takes too long to download them on Photobucket because there so many .

Hey Eddy I have your bike & trailer I hope you will be at the shop until at least 5:15 pm not 4:30. Thanks it was a great weekend with great people.

In Eddy's defense, the bike dripped gas out of the vent tube all the time, I think the floats are off and it's constantly feeding even with the throttle closed, but that bike does haul ass and Eddy did ride numerous wheelies on it.

[Fly'n Brian]

I have to admit the bike is mine. I agree with Robin that the floats might be a set little high because it does want to drip a little gas when it isn't perfectly straight up. I'm going to adjust the floats tonight drop the float height 1-2mm. It has a HRC power up kit, XR's Only smog deleat, UNI filter and aftermarket front rim but every thing else is stock even the gearing. i didnt think it had enough power and am going to raise the compression and put a stage 2 cam in it

It's about time you signed up and posted something! It was a great weekend, glad you could make it up. One of these days you will have to come to AZ for one of our rides out here. Enough power!!! that thing flys!

[Fly'n Brian]

Robin, thanks for the invite. It was great getting to ride with you guys. I'm going to try and get over to AZ for a few rides as soon as the race season is over.
In Eddie's defense the state of California should be sued for builing the asphault so close to Eddie's pretty yellow pants. Or maybe the XR was offended buy the color and was trying to get some Honda Red on those pants. LOL

We took off on friday morning and it was nice . Phoenix group are Lauri & Robin KLR650's , Me & my girlfriend Monica on DR650 , we were suppose to meet Lauri's friends Cali. group up in z cabin in Big Bear and we did . Brian was on his tricked out XR650R , Gail & her 2 kids Kat. & Cody ( No bikes just spectators) , Here we are in San Bernardino .

once we were in Big Bear , Lauri was waiting for z key , so she was chatting with a lifeguard on a beach lake near our Cabin

In z evening we hid Lauri's Helmet in z dryer .

In z Entrance on z chalet bikes & chase truck are ready for day 1 ride .

Day 1 ride was awsome we did ~ 85 miles off-rd on 3n16 , Lauri was doing great , Brian sweeping and not far behind z chase truck Robin & Cody .



Lauri did amaze me by going throu a water crossing ~ 3 foot deep , i didn't get z chance to take some pics. i wa busy giving her some tips on crossing it .
In z distance u can see z chase truck showing up z hill .

On this intersection point we took quick break to relax but for me it was a break to make a hole in my pants .

Brian a little lost but no problem we came from Az to guide him in his own state HA .

Me & Lauri a souvenir pose .

Wheelie action was going on . miss z first shot .

Second wheelie is o.k. but still need more shape up .

Well i shaped up myself on z black top flat on my a** . Lauri was z first to check on me but i was fine i lift up z possesed bike & started to check for damages .

Human damages & a same matching rd rush on my right butt cheek.

Property damage.

bike damage. Robin got it all in his chase truck in case we miss somethig .

Repairs began ,must bent back z foot peg or z kick start won't work.

Now a brief reanactment on how i fell and the damage caused to my nice yellow pants .

once we get to z slabs it was nice windy rd north of Big Bear lake and a large selection of sceneries to choose from .
Lauri & Brian a display by z lake ,Big Bear Observatory visible on z north side of z lake .



Once we get back to our cabin i took a sunset pics. from our balcony , lake Arrowhead is visible in z center .

Afterward we gathered in z kitchen to decide who's z cook for tonight's dinner . I was disqualified from this selection .

Day2 ride was nice an easy we slab it into town for some sceneries & photo take & Siesta @ Starbucks . But before takes off we must warm up a little next to z fire that Robin Started .

Riders for day 2 are Robin on KLR650, Brian XR650R ( my nemesis bike) , me & my girlfriend Monica on DR650SE . Pics. on z north of z lake .

Me & Monica .

South of z lake . U can see snow summit ski resort across z lake .



on Monday morning all was packed & ready to go we had a gerat time food was awsome we had so much we could have stayed for another week . Z sceneries was breath taking and off-rd rides was great .
Leaving big bear Mtn. . Once again thank u Robin & Lauri for putting together this event . Can't wait till next year .

[Nuclieye]

Sounds like a simple case of a Suzuki rider getting bucked off a Honda again. There's a pretty good deal on Craigs list right now here local on an XR in great shape. Hmmm
