My Hawk 250 tried to kill me and almost succeeded.
 
Jun 9th 2023 around 8AM -

The front brake line came loose and caught a knob on the tire, stopping the front tire instantly, forcing me to turn hard left and endoing over the bike, slamming my left temple, side, and knee into the ground.

Had full gear besides pants -
6 fractured ribs, 2 broken teeth, road rash to left knee and right hand.

Down for repairs - Ignored the chaos, I've been hurt for a month so there has been no cleaning or organizing lol

I had aftermarket blinkers and mirrors, so just put the stock back on the left side, replaced shifter, clutch lever, super glued the plastics back together and she's running and riding, did a short ride around the property Friday, Handlerbars are bent...windshield is trash.


Upcoming check replacing handle bars, grips, clutch levers, and hand guards with all new ones. Any suggestions welcomed.

Thank God you're ok. Man...ouch. Any reason for the brake line to come loose and, more importantly, prevent it? Maybe zip tie them to the holster thingies?

Bikenut 07-16-2023 05:02 PM

That's a big ouchie!!! Glad you are mending.

Wow!
Glad you are on the right side of the dirt.

Wait a second...I see RC trucks on bench behind bike. Which trucks you got?

This is the second one of these I have seen this week.

Someone on a different forum had a usb cable do the same thing. Stopped the front wheel completely.

He even had similar injuries. I think the same ones.

I think it was just all the bumps over time.

I actually noticed it rubbing when I first got it and I just pulled it up outta the way, bent the holders a little further out and ziptied it to them, it fixed it, somewhere over the course of 800 miles it must have come loose again.
Now I just have a zip tie on the handle bars holding the line up and out of the way, I plan on finding a better solution before riding, but it works lol.

Also, just getting tires without knobs can prevent it lol, like my replacements.

The 4runner body is an Axial Base camp, I have the TRX4-M Land rover, FMS FJ Cruiser, EZRC FJ and Land cruiser (last 3 are just shelf queens - lookers, not performers lol)

Arrma Senton 3s BLX (Has been turned into a Monster Senton)
Arrma Kraton 6s
And just got the Arrma Granite Boost edition during the July sale, had an extra ESC laying around, tossed it in there and got it running 3s.

Do you have any? or looking to get some?

Me too.
Oddly enough I think the credit goes to watching too much Moto Madness.
I dunno how anyone rides without gear.
No way to be sure, but I think an $80 helmet saved my life.

N7sithis 07-16-2023 10:31 PM

Oh I just realized this maybe should have been posted in Videos and pics?
Idk, kinda both, really.

I have 2 ECX Ruckus, sold as 2WD monster truck. 1 was converted to 2WD truck, added a bunch of hop-ups and a 69 Charger lid done up in General Lee colors. Took 3rd with it at Eaton's Intermountain RC Raceway in Salt Lake City running in Sportsman Truck.


1 bone stock ECX Ruckus, 1 Associated ProSC10 and 1 Associated T6.4


Just missed a big race weekend at Sweetwater RC in Rock Springs because I bought the Hawk.

I struggled to get back on my Harley when some woman ran a red and almost ended my life. Like, didn't think I could. My hat is off to you for getting right back in the saddle. Your Hawk looks good with them tires. Those are the ones I want for my Hawk.
