My streetbike powered rhino - video!

It's a chain drive - front sprocket to a jackshaft, jackshaft to rear drive shaft.....I have billions of pics of this build, and full details - I just haven't gotten around to putting everything on the web.....

I saw you out there Thanksgiving!!!! I had a great time until I broke my back the day after on that Friday afternoon!!

Oh man - what happened??

[mephyst]

I was on a hard ride for about 2 hours with a couple breaks in between and we were on the way back to camp just cruising towards the washes, and with all the dust we lost each other so i ended up finding one buddy and following his dust cloud. I am normally a master of the woops (on my 450 anyway and I happened to be riding my ex at the time), but i just happened to hit one wrong and it through me over the bars. Crushed my t-7 vertebrae 2/3. I actually road back to camp and the ambulance arrived within 5minutes. (it was about a half mile and i went probably 2mph the whole way all hunched over with one arm on the throttle...) It sucked big time... I was able to feel my legs and everything right away because that was the first thing I checked. I didn't get any nerve damage... Hmm I had to wear a brace for about 4-5weeks and I started going to the gym last week. My progress has been amazing... and I plan to ride President's Day at Dumont Dunes!!!!!!

Couple pics...




Brace...


It wasn't a pleasant experience... I just feel very fortunate to still have all the abilities i had before...

It looks like your 400ex tagged you in the back with it's bumper! Glad you are OK!

[mephyst]

Thanks. Yeah, we still aren't sure exactly what all the marks were. That's a crappy pic, but I have a scar where its really really pinkish/red. I was wearing my chest protector as well and it cracked. =[ I honestly think that thing saved my life.

I know your asking him for the cost, but that thing has a CBR motor in it so you'll need more than just accessories to get one like his.

[400grl]

You mean, like hers...... The motor itself wasn't that expensive.....I actually sold my rhino engine for the price i paid for the CBR engine....but it's all the fabrication that went into the whole drive system that makes it pricey......

[250RGUY]

Ooopps...Hers....now I'm in love.... JK
