Riding dirt on the F2

ShotGunBetty · 08-17-2010, 10:48 PM

Soooooo I went on the lake Lowell dusk run tonight with backofthepack, r1brandon, pimpit, vfr, and iceman.... So it started out great ... Had fun ran the lake heading to Caldwell the first time, nice and easy. Turned around on Caldwell side and headed back around the lake..... Had fun this is my 2nd time going round the lake ever.... I made it to the very last left turn to get back to lake shore in Nampa and mid corner decided I wasn't turning anymore.... Caught some good air, dove in to some soft dirt off the road and tried to keep going but tipped over... I was not injured and neither was anyone else or the bike. Thanks to all the guys for being supportive when I crashed

still had a blast and I learned a lot too!

Glad you got it out of the way with no pain.I really wish I had a cam on the bike though for you to see it. I ws right behind when it happened and after I found out she ws ok I ws like that was bad ass. Caught air twice and didnt let go till the bike stopped. Btw you were doing great in the corners tonight. Good pace, I ws gonna go around you and get back behind brandon again on the way back but you were going a good pace. Had alot of fun, we need to do this ride alot more

I'm a factory certified motorcycle mechanic in honda suzuki kawasaki and yamaha. If you need help fixing your bike let me know. I can do it for much less than the shops can

Clarkebar · 08-18-2010, 11:22 AM

Good to know you're okay. Sounds like you handled it really well.

Pimpit · 08-18-2010, 04:17 PM

Nothing got broke. It was like the perfect wreck. She hit a couple jumps rode it a few feet in the dirt and fell over. She had the farings off already so all it needed was a quick pressure wash.

whitedevil · 08-18-2010, 04:27 PM

sorry to hear that happened, but so glad you are ok and it wasn't any worse!

CBRF2Old · 08-18-2010, 04:55 PM

Good to hear no injuries/damage!
I could have told you that the F2 doesn't do well off road...if you had only asked.

welcome to the club.

BeckadarO · 08-18-2010, 06:00 PM

WOW glad everything turned out OK. A few bumps and bruises today I bet, but what do you expect playing in the dirt on your street bike

ShotGunBetty · 08-18-2010, 07:30 PM

:doublethumb: no bruises! Necks a little sore. Bikes fine, r1brandon pressure washed her and she cleaned right up and runs fine

which club is that bailey? The crash club or the riding the f2 in the dirt club? Lol. Carl I will be sure to seek your wisdom prior to future dirt ventures with the f2 :doublethumb:

turbolq4 · 08-18-2010, 07:33 PM

BRAAAAAP! glad you are ok

Linker33 · 08-18-2010, 08:47 PM

Good to hear it wasn't too bad.

e11charlie · 08-18-2010, 09:08 PM

Glad you are ok. Maybe you should make these mods to your bike and you will be covered for next time.

and e11Charlie I might have to try that ....

r1bran · 08-19-2010, 12:22 AM

The only reason that you fell off was the 8'' of freshly plowed dirt. I rode the bike out and back onto the road. That fiels was softer than the run offs at MMP. You couldnt have gone down in a better spot on that ride. Glad your OK. When are we doing it again? Its convenient that I live like a mile away so we can meet up for waters or get to a truck before the po po comes

Pimpit · 08-19-2010, 02:37 AM

I tried to call before the ride today. we need to do it a couple times a week

84VFR750 · 08-19-2010, 03:00 AM

Glad your ok

oh and i have a ride posted for tomorrow scott. Reverse. let me know if any of you are down.

Pimpit · 08-19-2010, 03:50 AM

since we are all in nampa why dont we just do like yesterday and go from nampa and then back. its more fun to go and come back than it is to take 55 (long straight highway) out to caldwell
