KPX went for an unexpected dip in the creek, and so did I.
I went to mow my place out in the county, and decided to take a " long cut" home. I hit a rock so slick that I don't think any kind of tire would have made a difference. I normally wear boots, but today I just had tennis shoes, and no sock, because I was wearing shorts under my long pants, so I could be comfortable mowing. I can't believe the bike is not damaged.https://youtu.be/jOdoA8i0I3I?si=H9Qafaci4fkTZYbg

Ouch! Glad you okay. My question is, Did you get the grass mowed?

The KPX sounds nice! Smooth runner. :tup:
Aren't you glad it's not a 400+ lb bike!? That would have been an "adventure", especially in that slippery stuff :ohno: And the extra weight would have broken a mirror, or lever, and bent the handlebar. It happened quickly, but it always does. Good recovery. :) |

This is the same creek ( Steer Lick) from the other direction. I was on the Hawk. The water was higher , so I didn't try to take the creek any further than necessary, which is what I should have did yesterday on the KPX .LOL

I have to admit those KPXs are way better than what I had read about online from those Chinese bike haters! I have become a believer!

I looked it over really good yesterday, and the only damage I saw was the ball end of the front brake lever has a little bit ground off. I looked at the video again, and it's visible in the video as well. I got lucky in that regard, because that whole creek bed is hard smooth rock.

glad you and the bike are okay!!!
