Originally posted by GNC_Reporter Smitty wasn’t kidding when he said he’d have the spreader bar at the line. Keith Little’s mechanic rides it through and fails, sucking up the bar. The weight difference between him and Keith was enough to make that much of a difference and when Keith rode it through he was okay. Whew!
i understand how the front could be effected by the rider weight when considering the width but were the rear tires that low on pressure that a lighter rider made that much of a difference.
the local tracks around here are starting to have a spreader bar at the gate and it is common for the front to catch the bar unless you lean way back and sometimes spraying the tires with wd-40 helps just enough to make that bar slip off.
