There i was looking up at a monster, :ohmy: Not just any monster but a monster that was straight up and about 1,000 feet long, i had been watching about 15 or 20 minutes the thumpers climp this hill with little trouble, Dont get me wrong these guys were good riders, (Damn Good) after a short time i decided to throw my helmet on gear up and away i went, about 3 quarters of the way up the bike started to bog down hard, i down shifted to first and started clutching throttling my ass off to no avail, i tried my hardest to unload off the bike before i went down the mountain with but it wasnt to be.
Head over heals i went with the bike on top of me no less than 100 feet. 2 broken ribs alot of bad road rash and a whole lot of distaste for my 2 stroke i now know its time to sell my bike and get a thumper.
the thumpers are hill climbing bad boys, never did i hear one have to shift down and when i heard them start to bog a little they just gave it a little more gas and up they went.
I have a whole new respect for torq :thumb:
