Default Scrapin Boards
So I been practicing my slow speed maneuvers and consistantly can scrape board in the parking lots, witch is where i wanted to be. Then today leaving my buddy's work I took her beyond that and scraped the mount, boy thats a startling noise!!!! he ran back outside cause he thought i dropped it, I was grinnin ear to ear, lol. I drew a nice half moon in his parking lot and it was a double line! One front he board (a tiny little wussy line) then this massive 3/4 inch wide swath of metal meeting pavement.

LOL sorry I jsut thought it was cool.

For a short period of time I considered the chrome mounts until I started dragging the mount on a routine basis. It would be a waste of the money to start scrapping the chrome of. Congrats on getting into that comfort zone! What next??

Theres a motor cop in town who says he can lay the bike down on the bag crash bar and spin the bike around then stand it up and take off.... I'm thinking theres some potential there![:-]

Try riding the Dragon's tail; you can scrap a lot there!!! Sparks will fly and you can get about 1/2" off those driver footboards!!

Enjoy the ride!

After I put on the Avon tire I felt more confident about scrappin'. Have you hit any city ******* with the boards yet. That's always fun.

Allen, how bout a close up of the underside of your boards.
Not much metal left, guess you'll have to start on a new set.
