I finally crashed my bike. Dunlop 208's suck..never get those tires. I was comin around a 15 mph turn and was goin about 25-30. I made the turn correctly going from the outside, in, then back out. I shifted my weight and hung off the bike. I didn't accelerate too much. When i felt the back tire slip i just held the throttle at that spot. And the tire still slid out from under me, makin me lowside.
I've had my tire slip before and i always regained traction by holding the throttle (not accelerating or decelerating). Was this the right choice? I heard that if you decelerate, your back tire will regain traction to quickly and will make you highside.
Anyway..i didn't get to hurt except for a few scratches. My front and rear brake levers broke but luckily most of my framesliders took all the damage.
However, I told myself that once i crashed that i would sell my bike. So i'm selling it. I'll post pictures here and maybe some of you guys could help me figure out how much to sell it for. Also, if you know any looking for a bike in northern cali, hit me up.
