Kill switch coming down wheelie.

[Clyde Porter IV]

Some how I have know idea how but the Tue before Veterans Day I helped escort the Veitnam wall across town. Well emotions was high atleast for me anyways. So I'm leaving the park mind you there was still about 8 cop cars so I know I was pretty irrational but that day was heavy. I pulled out super wide on the street to have some speed. Powered the front wheel up through 2nd I be damned somehow my thumb or something flipped the kill switch talk about wobble it was as bad as it could get with throwing me over the bars. As anyone EVER EVER HEARD OF THAT. thank God I was way back behind some trees but the folks on the side walk seen me go 8 seconds on pissed off Bull. She wasn't happy when that wheel hit.

Are you familiar with the term to "brinell," or "brinelling?" A sloppy landing from an epoch wheelie is what happens to your steering head bearings.

I have heard of that I have been on Vmax sense 89 I was 14 years old. Started riding alone at 17 around 93 or 94 so I have come to it pretty well I try to remain respectful of how big that thing gets when it's rolling next to you end of over end. I have came down not exactly True before but this way Way worse to paint picture. The bars was I'd guess swing 5 or 6 inch hell it could of 8 inch. Talk about a tank Slapper I didn't realize I'd hit the kill switch until I got it Settled down
