Beware GasGas 300's Brake arms

Barnwell Brakes arm

Broken arm strikes again for the second time . Another broken wrist . First victim Enduro_Nut at Muenster . Went riding at Barnwell today and was having fun . While we were riding for no reason a hill attacks Ryan making him the second victim of our group . Snaps the wrist . So he will be out for 6 to 8 weeks . :ohmy:

Hope Ryan get's well soon!!!

This should add another interesting chapter to JMD's "Selling used bikes sucks" ad.

He should be better in about 6 to 8 weeks . Enduro_Nut I guess you know what that feels like . :nener: It wasen't because of the GasGas . He was going down a big hill and was riding the front brake just a little to much . Back wheel hit a rock and chunked the back wheel up and with a little to much pressure on the front brake he went flying . He said that he thaught he was in the air about 10 feet . When he landed the bike hit him . Somewhere in the whole thing thats when he broke his wrist . It wasen't just a few seconds a group of riders came through and we got to see it happen to another rider . But he turned out alright . Ryan said that when he would pull in the clutch he could fill bones moving in his wrist . :ohmy: Just glad it wasen't me .

Just glad it wasn't you? Man, what a nice friend you are, Charlie! Just kidding; everybody feels the same way, but we usually don't say it. You're just more honest. Seriously, though, I hope Ryan gets well soon. I still remember the last time I rode with him, at Muenster. He was hauling around that slick hardpack road on the west side when he lost the front wheel. All I saw was a huge cloud of dust (it was dry that day), and then Ryan came boiling and tumbling out of the cloud of dust. He passed his motorcycle, which is usually a bad idea, and the whole thing came to rest after more tumbling. I think he hurt his back a little bit that day, but nothing broken. It's getting dangerous out there. I had a nice ride at Muenster today. It was cool all day, even rained about half an inch at noon. I got soaked, sat out the rest of the storm, then went for another ride all wet, and it was beautifully cool.

Get well soon. CDC, was it the big hill that has all of the gas lines crossing it?

No it wasn't the pipeline hill by the parking lot . I like climbing that one . :yeehaw: It was one of the hills in the woods . Its about a hundred footer hill you have to stay on the left side . The middle and right side has straight drop offs . :yikes:
