I'm thinking about getting a bike but its still debatable. Gas prices keep going up and I will get one. It will be cheaper paying the insurance than to keep paying for the gas in the car. If I got one it would deff be used and be a ~600 or less.


A kid just went down last week around a mile from my house. Was air lifted out. 17 yrs old w/o a license, friend brought over the bike w/o a license also. Kid took it for a ride and wrecked less than a mile from his house. The bike landed on him and bounced off. Peg through the stomach and his legs are torn up bad.

I've heard the kid is a dick (in my bro and sisters class) and he is also being an ass to the nurses/doctors.

man that sucks dude i hope you recover quickly! I went down 8 years ago and i will never do anything stupid again on a bike! the road rash hurt more then anything else! when the doctors cleaned it out is what hurt more then the fall! but hey if your going to sell the bike let me know :D

[redline]

You guys are something else...I was so lucky to never spill my Dirtbike or Streetbike. Now that I have been without a bike for over 8 years I am in the market for a cruiser. HD Nighttrain and hopefully I will never have to spill it.

hmm i had a mild lowside a few months back. sliders saved the bike completely. just had to replace the stator cover and the bar ends. only damage to me was a nasty scuff on my left glove.

[omgjacki]

Dave, that's nothing. Yours doesn't count =P

[Dave]

hah i was breaking hard from like 120 when it started sliding. only reason the bike wasnt worse is that i somehow managed to keep it up until it got down to about 20. trust there was some high pucker factor there lol

[omgjacki]

Haha it still doesn't count.

[Dave]

you're mom doesnt count :P

[Red94Celica]

The road rash doesn't really bother me a whole lot, it hurt when they cleaned it but i'd much rather have the road rash then the broken bones. they take to long to heal lol.

I put brand new tires on the bike, literally only 30 miles on them...did a 2nd gear stand up and when i set it down..it was slightly crooked and on the yellow line. The front tire slid out from under me and thats when the fun began lol

Ohh, that sucks!

[driftingrx5.7]

Dave you better be careful with that special someone on the back for sure or i will personally go down to cherry hill to jack you up ;)

[blkZ06]

I low sided and flew through a fence and off a 25 ft retention wall into the woods and the bike slammed into a couple trees and broke in half. Fun part was climbing back up the wall with a shattered femur :)
