I haven't had that thought in quite a while BUT while riding my Monster I am very aware of it's size and weight. Coming off that at speed could potentially hurt a lot more than my ACM did way back. I have only gone just over 20mph on my Monster even though it seems to glide along smoothly. I have taken my ACM to 26mph without a second thought.

It took a long time to heal. I peeled a lot of layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingfelder Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hopefully you turn your head sideways and tuck your chin next time. That's what they teach in judo, and it works pretty much every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Most wheels allow you to set the tilt-back speeds via application, and setting it really low like around 4-6 miles per hour allows you to experience it without too much danger. First time I experienced tilt-back back at 10+ mph I felt I was going to get killed on this thing, it is really easy to fall if you don't know the proper response to your wheel. Even though the tilt-back is a rather gentle motion, it feels violent because your body reacts to it somewhat like when a loud noise makes a cat jump.

I'm going to try that when i get my wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
