Well i got very very lucky today...............went home to go riding me and a friend were out weather was beautiful everything going good. I had been doing some standups and just goofing around some.

Well about a half mile away from home i pull it up in second ride it out for a little while according to my buddy around 95 or so is where i set it back down and boom the left foot peg breaks clean off ...................my foot smacked the ground and bounced back up, my friend and i both thought i was going down but i stayed on for the ride. Scary to think i came so close to wrecking. But i lived to ride another day

be safe out there.

and here is to another day of riding the one :beer

[afabbrin]

Did you say the actual peg broke or just the bolt holding it on?

 

[Monolith]

I'm going to be getting a new set of bolts soon. Glad you are ok.

 

[Wolf-R1]

lucky, lucky man...stay safe brother. Glad you're ok.

Yeah....was it the peg or the bolt.
I already changed my bolts, but have heard of the actual peg snapping.

 

[bpa00]

I assume it was the stock peg and bolt?? Definitely a must change... Anyway, glad you saved her/you...

It will break regardless if it's tight or not, change the bolt with a grade 8.

Get some rearsets ASAP!!!

 

[RexRR1]

Who should be changing the bolt? Just guys that pull stunts or everyone. I'm a twisties rider. So, I don't pop the front end up. Where can I get those bolts?

 

[jonny toe tags]

For the 2$ it will cost, i suggest everyone that hasn't changed rearsets

 

[bigkvn1]

you know... i think of all the times i've stood on my pegs to stretch, or "adjust" while riding. never even thought about it much!! i guess this means everyone is at risk!! i'm changing my bolts this season.... ASAP!! hmmm.... maybe some rearsets?!?:thumbup
