Ok, so you are out riding, solo, no backup, and you have to cross this railway line. You walk it and it looks like you can do it. The hight of the bike is plenty higher than the rial and if you keep on the sleeper you should be fine. :eek7:
So to be super safe, instead of riding the bike over, your weight may just make up for the spare space between the rail and the frame, you select first and walk the bike over. ;D
All goes well and the front wheel goes easily over the first rail :thumleft:
And then you have to get both the front over the next rail and this is where the problem comes in, to get the extra oomph you open the throttle a tad and guess what ??? the rear digs in, the stones are loose and oil of a sardine the bike can stand on its own without a stand! :-[
And you dont know what time the train comes past!
So what would you do? :mwink: I would like some suggestions rather quick - there is a train due any time now........
