Does anyone else jump their bike?

I just can't resist it. Every time I see a speed bump, I just have to charge it and jump my bike off it. Every steep drive way entrance I goose the throttle and send my bike flying a few feet, seeing how much it takes to shit out a fork seal.

They're never big jumps of course but enough to get both tyres off the ground, I also cant stop from wheelie'ing over speed bumps like a whoop section.

Maybe I need to get another DRZ, or EXC....

I hear it can mess up the electrics. I always put mine on a trickle charge.

You would think you would have e-nuf tyre clearance for full travel !

What's with that ?

Had a rail road crossing I use to jump, 2 up. Road is now changed. Had a guy followings me on a bike, tried to wave him to slow down and watch. Hard to do. He followed me over the jump at the same speed. What he did not know was the road ended at a stop sign right after the jump. Really caught his attention.

Yup, I have a favourite bridge on a seldom used road. It's a small bridge on a dirt road than spans a creak that crosses the road on a hill. Wood topped and level, about 20 to 25' long. I've cleared the bridge and landed on the uphill side several times.

Going down is a rougher ride as you bottom the bike hard before launch and then drop. Not fun..

Also small crests at speed.

My Leo's looked like that.

Noticed when changing front tyre that the front wheel has a good ding now to match the back.

On my 640 I passed a minivan going the opposite direction with my wheels at window level.
