Picture added below... Out today on my RSV Factory with a mate on a 999, lost him twice in an hour. When I went back both times I found him in a plowed field still upright both times! The second time was about 100 meters in!!! No hedges, no ditches both times on roads around Church Fenton and Askham Richard on our way to and back from Squires at Sherburn in Elmet Both times he complained about his rear locking up, when he got home one of his rear brake pads was in pieces.
Glad he's OK. Could of been a lot worse. But thanks for the tip if I ever fancy taking up a career in agriculture.
Here's the furrow - he wasn't very neat, appears he missed a bit when he bounced! Bike already recovered and on the road, must be quicker getting back next time
With the pulling power it has you may well be right. Where I live that would be a trip in the helicopter . Stone walls every where .
The're used when completing a furrow prior to turning so the small front wheels don't dig into the soft soil - didn't you go to tractor school?
Yes, it wasn't around when 999's were sold as unlike the multi, they weren't really meant for farming, otherwise he may have done a far neater job
Surely you'd have to be going round a bend to end up in a field..? Sure doesn't look that way in the photo.
If your back is locks up with a seized brake, it's not overly surprising. You wouldn't have to fixate on anything much (apart from staying upright).
