noice!!! i love the gixer. My uncle has about 15-20 motorcycles. If you dont believe me ill give you him number and you can talk to him. He has 2 rare motto guzzi's (2 of 14 of that year in that color), cbr, Gixer Hayabusa, Triumph Sprint 955fi, a fully chromed fatboy, custom chopper he got down here from bikeweek, Bsa 250 (i think..), Roadking crusier (heavy sob), and thats just to name a few. Last time he let me drive his CBR 600rr (nice and plenty fast bike

) but he is kinda loaded so yea. And he has a Audi A4 thats turboed by me and my cousin (his son)

Ignorance...plain and simple, riding with friends and i had no idea where we were so i didnt know the road. It was a sunday and apparently everyone in the state was out for a country drive because everytime we got the pace going we ran into traffic. I was getting irritated because i like to ride hard (dumb) so i kept dropping way back until the pack was out of view and then I would crank it up and catch them. well, as dumb as that is on a road you know its even worse on a road you dont know. I came into a blind turn (i wont say how fast) and quickly noticed that the turns radius greatly increased as it went on. Grabbed some brakes which stood the bike up, tried to lay it back in but got into a terrible tank slapper, went off the road, hit the gaurdrail and landed (yes landed, not slid) over 100 feet from where the bike hit. Broke my shoulder blade, collar bone, and 1 rib. I was wearing a helmet and full leathers. (sorry so long but you asked)

Thats what track days are for...

wow. that must've been scary. and your group was ahead of you too? ouch. were you just found by greasy teens in a pickup truck or did they come back or what?

Stampedekid · #11 01-05-2008, 06:50 PM

Ouch. I bet that hurt like he** right? Did your friends call the ambulance, or some bystanders?

BART · #12 01-05-2008, 07:37 PM

track days ftw! The bike was was on its side when we hit the guardrail and slammed into one of the wooden posts that hold it up...they heard the impact and came back (i was caught up at this point). They called the ambulance, this is where it gets funny, I was wearing my favorite riding jacket and knew they would cut it off so while still in shock I managed to get it off, I looked down and noticed i was also wearing my favorite honda t-shirt so i wrestled that off as well. The ambulance guys got out and walked right past me and went to look in the woods. I actually thought i was fine until i calmed down and went to move my right arm and heard the most bone chilling crunch of the 2 pieces of my collar bone rubbing together. The handy police officer was at the hospital waiting for me and gave me a ticket for failure to control (2 points on my license). I didnt mean to thread jack but maybe this will slow someone down. I kept the bike for a while but a couple of months later a guy we knew hit a deer on his bike and died, my brothers best friend (mr. safety) hit a car that pulled out in front of him (hello lifeflight) and lastly i saw a guy hit a phone pole at tripple digit speeds...lets just say his body stopped but his head kept going. I sold the bike and bought me and the kids all 4 wheelers.
