Somebody doesn't know to counter-steer, and doesn't know that when you're bouncing off the rev limiter while moving 5mph, it's time to ease up a little!

from that? lol

thanks again for the NRG quick release. i smoke myself in the face, trying to remove the OEM steering hub. is used a hammer to knock it out of place and it fly right on my eye. a saw stars for a minute. i cut it out (free short hub) and Bruno welded it for me. he's getting very good with the TIG. i'm more of a stick guy (SMAW) thats what we use on a steel structure. not as fancy as a TIG

If ya needed a hub,I had one too.FC though.

Somehow I can picture you taking off that wheel.lol!..Smack..(that's Funny!)
They DO recommend that you keep the Nut ON when removing the wheel by Man handling it.
Funny story:I put myself in the backseat of my Oldsmobile one day when I changed seats.I had 2 bolts in the back of the seat,I punched it and Wham!..back seat driving!..haha!,I had to grab the wheel to get up!
