My first harescramble was today, its also the first race of the season, and ive been gettin ready, and lookin forward to this thing for weeks, and weeks.....i get all ready, all my gear is good, bike is in good shape, got new tear-offs, im all hydrated, been eatin healthy...im 100%.............they drop the flag for my class, dead engine start, i make it around the first turn and theirs just a huge wall of dust in front of me, and i couldnt see crap, so i slowed down a tad and glanced behind me quickly and as soon as i do, a z400 comes haulin from my left and plows into me. I fall to my right and my right foot catches my rear tire and it just sucks me under my 400. it happened so fast, i can hardly remember it.
it sucked hard, im really pissed right now, cuz ive been waitin for this forever, and i was ready as i'd ever be, and i didnt even get to complete 1 freakin lap, it sucks. but i got checked out by the paramedics that were there, and they wrapped my knee, no broken bones so thats good. Its proven to me how extremely important proper riding gear is, because im almost 100% sure i would have had broken legs without my boots on. but ive got a few scratches and bruises but thats it.....and maybe a slight concussion, cuz i immediatly got a headache as soon as i hit the ground. Luckily the bike is fine, it happened so fast, its almost unreal.
But ive pretty much decided nerf bars are a must, and the next race is in 2 weeks, so im gonna get some, so this crap doesnt happen again. I have IMS kickup pegs and heelguards, so i was thinking about some AC nerfs....what do you guys think about AC's?
