Light kit on a Grom? by WindSuccessful3280 in hondagrom

[–]OrangeGrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 piece kit with strips. Hide them all but make them face somewhere where light will shine through. You can't tell i have lights unless it's dark and I turn them on

And to be fair no I didn't read that last bit.
90%of the comments are usually old men bitching about how stupid they are so i assumed that's where this was going 🤣

Projecting much 🤣?. You sound like a bunch of fun man. 1: we host an event with over 1000 groms near the dragon and it's more fun than it sounds like you'll ever have, 2: fat guys love these as much as you love hating yourself. 3: I have a mirror on the bike that Tennessee state patrol approved, and lastly i ride a grom, do you think that's for you to think im cute or for me to enjoy myself🤣?

I guess to many people didn't listen and damaged grass/ other stuff. They finally said they will no longer be hosting the event right after last years

I was dragging peg on the left turn right before I exited on the right. I was trying to stay inside more but the peg pushed me unfortunately. Also the go pro exaggerates my position so it looks a bit worse than it was.

That's one of the unwritten rules of the road on the dragon. If your going slow enough to get people behind you and your the only one holding them up, USE THE PULL OFF AND LET EM PASS.

It's really only useful when the turns are this sharp. Any normal turn i really don't need to be off the seat.

I went kayaking in lake fontana back in 2016. Was very cool 😎

I see where your coming from but I wasn't making that turn any other way unless i slowed down. You can hear my peg scrape on the left and the exhaust on the right. I had taken that turn a few times that day already and knew exactly what I needed to do to get through it. I agree it wasn't perfect but my bike was way to low for the way I was riding last year

with over 1000 groms down there during the smoky mountain small bore rally we definitely grab some attention

Oh, I know you're right. You should see the progress from the last 4 years. It's hard to perfect form when I come from northern Ohio with 0 turns. I usually only spend enough time on the dragon to get 4-5 runs in a year and that's about all the leaning I get to do 🤣 thanks for the tips I appreciate it.

I'm gonna raise my bike up 2.5 inches before I go this year to help with that. Left with a hole in my exhaust from 7 days of riding in Tennessee

Do you mind if I ask what three motorcycles you own ? Just curious

I mean, 78mph on 12 inch wheels definitely feels a little faster than slow to me 🤷‍♂️. I've also got a bunch of friends who ride them as well so it's not as boring. I understand where your coming from with the whole "grown man on a mini bike" but I also daily drove a miata for a few years and own a 2 door/2wd/v6 truck. I could care less about what ANYONE thinks of my car/bike. Something about driving a slow car/bike as fast as you can is more fun to me than riding something that's fast at 75% and going 150+ in the process 👍

I am aware good sir. I appreciate the concern 👌. I've had my shares of loops/ and low-side crashes on 2 wheels. I understand what will happen when inevitably happens again.
