[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1118975, member: 257"] My answer? No it won't. I may clear a curb if you're coming off it and carry enough speed to avoid the undercarriage. It will NOT clear a curb going up it from the road. Heck, it won't clear when coming off one either unless you're doing about 20 or so mph and goose it some as your front tire leaves the edge. The point about needing to hit it at 90 degrees is another issue. Any angle attack will trap the front wheel, whip the rear wheel around, then bring the bike to a flopping halt while flinging you off like a high side. (DAMHIK:IJK:OK? [but it was on a Wing]). Check our the repercussions of THAT little dealio: [IMG]https://www.fjr-tips.org/rides/surgery/surgery.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
