what did you hit? was it a big rock? looked painful.

 

[mervhengst]

didnt hit anything...i traded a go kart for the blaster. the guy said it he just completely redid the whole thing. what he didnt tell me is the spines in the spindle were gone and he JB welded the balljoint stud into the spindle. i was out riding all day and it finally let loose and the lower a arm dug into the ground.

and yes it was painful...my back landed on a freakin rock.

Wow, just imagine if you were going faster? Criminal...

I had the same thing, guy hid broken handlebar by offsetting the break under the clamp:

Buyer beware...
Either one of us could have been killed by these "tricks".

All the reason to go over a used purchase with a fine toothed comb.
How often do we hear on here "blew up 2 days after I bought it"?
Still, hard to resist a little scoot to try it out.
