1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project

[CC69Rat]

Not really, I was in a full 'aero tuck' position coming down the mtn and stablizing the bike with my legs. At that speed you kinda become one with the bike.

I touched the back brakes and I think the tube got too hot inside the wheel and may have popped ? It felt like it took me 20 min to stop. The bike started to (what I call cat walk) get squirley and everything went into slow motion from there.

You know right at the bottom where it comes together into St. Elmo Ave. ? that sharp curve at the end where the giant tree is .. the road makes a Y at the and / red light.

Let's just say I didn't yield. I just couldn't get it stopped man. It was rough. When I went down I guess the sign knocked the seat off and left the rails of the seat exposed. The rest was pretty bad. I went down hard in that landscaped area around the tree. .. slid for 20 ft or so through the leaves. I was just being stupid and paid for it.
