Well, I went and did it. My buddy has a Yamaha TTR-125 sitting in his garage. I've been trying to get it to run right after it was sitting for three years. Two carb cleanings later and a new plug and the thing still has a bad stumble. Anyway, I finished doing some work on my truck, and was waiting for my friend to get back from the store so I said, what the hell, I'll beat up on the little 125. Well the little bike fought back. I was playing around in the street in front of the house, just doing some wheelies up and down. Well since 1st and 2nd wind out too fast I started throwing it up in 3rd. Then when I got comfortable I started shifting 4th. Soon enough I was shifting three gears and winding out 5th before I put the bike down. Well in my last attempt to wheelie the whole block, I had that little bastard at 12:00 in 5th. Everything was going fine until wham. I started drifting to the left, fast. When I tried to set it down, I was already at a 45 degree angle to the ground. The front tire hit and washed out. I had a "****, this is gonna hurt" moment. Well off I went sliding off the road and onto a front lawn. Since I was only wearing a t-shirt and no gloves, the trauma list went as follows. Road rash on both palms, left forearm, elbow, pinky knuckle, left knee, and side. Oh and a dislocated shoulder added for good measure. The bike was fine. I had to wait, bleeding, for 20 minutes until my friend got back to help me relocate my shoulder. That took another 30 fun filled minutes. The last time I crashed was on my buddies 1982 XL 125 when I tried to jump a double with a beer in my hand. At least this time I was sober. The moral of the story is stay away from 125's! They're evil! :mad2:
 
:smash: Gald you are fairly ok.....and the moral of the story is true. I was riding my old cr125, poping wheelies in 2nd gear. Stopped for a second, out of habbit I went into first and took off as if I was in second....well, the bike went one way and I went the other:mad2: 125s are :mad5:

:smilielol5:
 
Could have been worse, glad you are somewhat ok. Wear your damn protective gear!
 
That sucks had that happen to me about a month ago fell off the back of a Kawi KFx 400 was trying to teach a freinds girl/freind how to ride it she hit 3rd WOT and dumped me right off the back but I didnt spill my beer road rash shoulder and elbow, some how I didnt dislocate my shoulder though. Those TT-r's are a little bit off fun we had some 4 years ago but I got tired of riding them, I'll stick to four wheels. Glad to hear it wasnt any worse, net time you try that have someone running the video tape maybe you can make some cash off a spill like that.
 
Glad you are all right. Those little bikes can be a bitch to ride sometimes. Jumped on a friends kids YZ 80 wound it up in 6th gear, it's throwing a rooster tail and it shot out from under me like a rocket. I learned to leave those little damn bikes alone.
 
Ouch...hope you recover quickly. No broken bones or concussions at least.

I've done my share of stupid driveway dirtbike stuff. Starting a KX250 with wet flip flops and shorts on after you wash the bike= bad idea. Shin meets footpeg at high rate of speed. Tibia gets broken. Cussing and swearing ensues.

Motorcycles and wheelies left me with a lot of bruises, glad you not to badly hurt, and you didn't hit you head...
 
oh for christs sake berk, a friend has a ttr-225 and the thing has less balls than my prius. i don't even know how you could pull a wheelie fast enough to get hurt

only kidding, sorry you got hurt though. road rash is a bitch. i was wheeling up the street on my 250 (2stroke) and put 'er too high and it skipped out from under me. i was wear shorts and i had the worst road rash on the back of my thighs you could imagine.

aloe vera helps once it's healed up some.
 
My right knee still needs surgery after a cr 250 came over on me in 4th to 5th shift in a wheelie on pavement. I feel your pain. Gave me goosebumps reading your post. If I kneel on my knee just right it will pop out toward the inside. MCL is muffed.
 
I was riding a rather slow wheelie on my z400, just shifted 2nd and it was drifting to the left because the ****ty holeshots I got aren't the same physical size. I set it down and there was a piece of cordwood right there frozen in the ground at a 45 degree angle. It stopped me dead. I caught the bumper with my left hand and was pretty much doing a hand stand, but didn't go over. But the sudden stop was enough to break my scaphoid in my right hand. Those stupid mistakes suck.
