ill start with a pic of(head down in shame) me .. from last summer on the old cbr

NOTE: I DONT SUGGEST SQUID'ING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ALWAYS WEAR FULL GEAR

 

saw this on another forum. fingerless workout gloves w/ helmet strapped to back of bike lol

 

Just saw this gem on GDC

Oh sweet jesus. I don't think I can pit with you in grattan....

 

here is from my stupidity..

 

Story time ^^ op:

 

No pictures but back when I got my first GSXR (go figure) I did the squid thing for a while. I really didn't know any better and had no idea how bad road rash really was. Anyway a couple months later I decided I was ready to try a stoppie.... grabbed the front brake too fast, locked the front up, and down I went lol
I at least had a hoodie on and my only rash was on my elbow but that little 20mph spill was more than enough to realize how important gear was. Haven't hit the pavement without leather since then (all crashes since have been on the track anyway lol)

 

You do not want to seee my fat ass with no shirt and i respect the public to much to even do it

 

I get more annoyed with the helmet on the back than anything else. But here's my contribution:

 

Does this apply?

This thread might delay me from some work today.

 

We are overrun by DUI-style scooterists where I live.

I don't have a pic but my favorites are the ones who ride without helmets (of course), in flip-flops while they smoke AND text. #naturalselection

 

WOW....Im sure weve all gone for a ride without a jacket or gloves but you take the cake.

 

Honestly, if you're wearing jeans and a sweatshirt or the like you might as well be in shorts and no shirt. Cotton offers zero abrasion resistance.

I don't bother riding unless I have time to do at least 30-40 miles because it takes so long to put all my ATGATT crap on. So, I usually end up riding 100 miles or more each time I get on the bike.

 

hmm.. where to begin.. well i guess i'll start that off with stupidity

63 degree day, out riding with a buddy (last ride of the year) rode to the gas station, ate some food, decided to haul ass up an exit ramp in burns harbor indiana (most will pass it on their way to grattan from illinois) bike made it through the first two turns just fine, last corner (middle of 4th gear) the tire let go because i was an idiot and didn't let tires warm up & riding that fast on the street didn't help either, bike slid up the ramp across all 3 lanes of 80/94E, i slid up the ramp then face hit the green reflector pole and ripped my face shield off, then slid left foot first into a grass embankment & it catapulted me onto 80/94E, i was nearly hit by a PT cruiser (but it had great brakes and JUST missed me) I slid across all three lanes, and landed in between the rumble strip & the concrete wall. 10 months of crutches, a gimped leg for the rest of my life & a tough lesson learned... Moral of the story? don't be a dumbass


Now i go even faster WHERE IT BELONGS :thumb:

 

205 but still a classic. ^^^
