Wooooshhh smash!

Well, as some may know, I got my Ty running recently. It's been a long haul for sure. Almost a whole year since I have driven it. I have been driving it here and there around the block since a) its was running like shit and I was working out bugs and b) It's still on garage insurance and has expired tags. I helped a buddy of mine work on his Ty today. He took me and my wife out to dinner for helping out. We took his truck and I was helping him program his EBC and we were making sure the work we did worked:lol: Well I got a big bug bite and just had to drive the TY. So we get in and it was dark outside. I was so excited to drive since I had figured out my tach issue I didn't know what to do with myself. So we go for a ride. On our way back up the hill my friend says "dude give it some ****ing gas already!! So I get on it kind of nervous. We hit 5 psi and the truck just pulled super hard and the hood came up and smashed the windshield. There was literally about 10 seconds before we both yelled HOLY SHIT!!! All I could think of was that I hope to god my hood is ok. So on our way back up we both just started laughing our asses off. Deep down inside I felt like a total moron because I knew the hood wasn't locked. But since I got so hyper like a kid who just ate a box of Froot Loops I just jumped in and totally spaced it out. Here are pics, it obviously smashed the windshield but it also broke my hood strut which is fine with me. Scratched the back side of the cowl but other than that all seems well.





Guess I better sell some hydra boost kits to pay for a new windshield:lol:

Don't feel bad Mike...........back in the day Will S. pulled his hood latch at the end of the track at Bandimere to get some extra cooling and BAMMMMM the hood slammed into windshield!



Glad your okay........when I read the title I thought maybe you crunched your Ty.

Call the windshield repair guy and tell him that you have a small star burst that needs fix :tup:.

Heh reminds me of the time some of the Chitown crew were out cruising around in a ty after pulling the plugs. Guy in a 'stang rolls up and feels froggy so they both get it. Problem is, someone forget to tighten one of the plugs in the ty and KABLAMMO! it exited the block under 15 plus psi... Glad that you didn't get *more* damage than you did.

Re: Wooooshhh smash!

Whats funny is yesterday I had a BBQ for my wife and sisters birthday. My sister was all gung ho about a ride in the Ty. I told her the story and how there is no windshield and she said she didn't care. So I took her for a ride and it was weird, I dont know how people ride motorcycles. So the big wasp fly's right in and lands on her seat, as she goes to shoo it away, it fly's up the back of her shirt and stings her!!! :rotf: Hoping for a new windshield today. :tup:

1 of many reasons I don't like hood pins, too easy to forget.

Sorry dude, that's just too funny. Maybe you should see if you can buy windshields in bulk?
