I decided to try go down a VERY steep hill brakeless using a 78.6 gear inch ratio(only been riding brakeless for 2 weeks)
I suddenly realised how much gravity was beating me so I had to steer and myself off the only piece of flat road into a wire fence, hurt a lot!
It could of gone a lot worse, dusted myself and my ego off, walked down the rest of the hill.
At the bottom of the hill I tried to ride off, my nice chrome forks where bent beyond belief from nice curves to straight forks, nice clearance, but too much toe overlap to ride
When I got home I also noticed I had bent the frame.
What a day:D
