So i finally got around to instaling my chain and new sprockets this afternoon.  I went down to a 15 on the front and was just tooling around on the street in front of the house. (just for info, it's a dead end street and i live on the end).  So I was just tooling around making sure everything was tight and back in order.  So I rolled it up to about 8K and dumped the clutch and it stood up. I'm not saying a little front end blip, I'm saying the front end came up and the bars hit me in the chest kinda thing.  needless to say i tried it again and then prmptly put  the bike away for the night.  It's one way to break in a new chain.

Is it a good way to break a bone?

Exactly!!

Actually, little  man got his cast off two weeks ago yesterday and is doing pretty well.  I can't keep up with him anymore.

heather's bike definately needs some work, we put a 14t front sprocket on, and dumping the clutch near the redline only gets the tire a foot off the ground, and me standing up bouncing it will only get it maybe 2 feet off the front, and i know plenty well how to get the front wheel up, it definately feels weaker than it should to me

noway, this was way too easy.  Before the front end would barely lift if i tried it.  This time thebars practically hit me in the chest.
