I had been bidding on bikes on ebay for a month, Finally I get winning bid on 1986 kx 500, The wife and I drive to Tennesseto get this thing Memorial day weekend. 12 hours down Sat. pick it up 12 hours back on sun.
Monday memorial day my buddy and I go out for a quick rip,(before the company comes) YAH RIGHT!! I didn;t go over the bike or anythingjust took it out,OK now to the point...
I had been riding wheelies up and down this opening in the trail for awhile 3rd and 4th gear well I grabbed 3rd gear it's pegged and the throttle sticks,slamming me HARD, It slammed me so hard it ripped the top of my work boots open! Tore my elbow shoulder and hands up,THANK GOD for the helmet, huge chunk gone! My buddy says the bike drug the rear fender for about 30 feet before it went haywire tearing off the silencer

. It took an hour and a half to get my wits about me and to get my silencer back on the bike with a pair of vise grips. Only to come home to our company ripped to shreds.Oh and the wife
not a happy camper!
I WANTED TO CRAWL UNDER A ROCK,WITH MY PRIDE!
