I was just riding my dx thru a big field of grass about 4 feet deep, I was goin about 10mph and guess what happened? I hit a big rock:((( it bent both of my front forks completely, and it bent it my brake casing thing, so its grinding on the rotor. So now I gotta get it prepared for surgery. I have a pair of forks from my 79 Honda twinstar and it looks like it might just bolt up, but if not ill just have to buy a pair, and then I gotta bend the brake casing back out. So that's what I'm gonna be doing soon. And right now is the worst time for me to do it, since I'm working ALOT I don't have much spare time. So I'm probably gonna get started right after I'm done typing this :).

Good thing you were going slow or YOU would need surgery. Consider yourself lucky really.!

At least you made it through ok. Two months ago, I replaced the gears in my 110's sub transmission. I thought I was in 1st, but I was in 2nd. Needless to say, It stood straight up when I shifted to 3rd and hit the throttle. 2 weeks ago, I put on a new tank, rear fender, and seat. My old tank had a huge dent from where it hit the side of a rollback car hauler after it chucked me off.


OP, not trying to threadjack, just thought I would share a similar experience.
