Questions about a leaking Honda petcock.

So there was a certain pucker factor involved?

I know it well

 

[Lonesome7.3]

Yeah, it was unplanned.

I did something similar years ago......was on my xr600,hit a ditch,lost my grip on the throttle,grabbed it again,twisted it to full throttle,did and un-expected wheelie,came down from the wheelie,lost control,flying W and landed on my chest......three broken ribs & a collapsed left lung,three days in the hospital

You win, yours was with out a doubt worse. I just got a little surprsied. I bet that did not stop you from riding though.

 

[dirtyoldman]

No,it didn't,but it did slow me down a little.These old bones take a long time to heal and crashes hurt more

 

[thunderstruck]

I would call that the same. Is that book still in print?

See if Clymer makes a repair manual for your machine. They are not quite as good as a factory service manual, but they are certainly not as useless as a Chilton or Haynes manual.

Yeah, I get worried about crashes now. I use to look forward to them.

Clymer is decent, but I agree. I always prefer a factory service manuel.

I sure did. Even bigger when that front tire came off the ground when I hit the throttle. I had no idea that little 110 had so much torque.

I found the video, lol

 

[Lonesome7.3]

Yeah, it kind of looked like that. With the exception that I did not go all the way over.
