LOL - been fortunate to not have that happen with the maroons I head out with

shang - she looks like a proper dirt bike now I went through 2 pipe guards on my orange 300; first one had a nasty encounter with large rock in the side of the trail (my foot didn't fare too well either ).

Be sure to pull that guard and check the pipe if she takes a hard hit; the guard I referred to above didn't look too bad (cracked), but the force transmitted to the pipe was significant - had to get a new pipe. That's one of the drawbacks of using a C/F guard - force transmitted can really mess up the pipe - especially at the neck right out of the cylinder. I'd still run one - saved lots of small dents and dings along the way
