tpalka Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Found a funky site with weird pictures -- since some of them are of moto bikers, I thought some of you might enjoy them. tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 but you'd never guess that world Grand Prix motorcycle racing has only suffered <b>one death</b> in the 56 year history of the sport. I'm reminded of the safety precaution they give you at track days: if you fall off your bike and you're still on the track, you're supposed to lay perfectly flat so that oncoming bikes will "only" use you as a speed-bump if they can't avoid you.

ar(angel Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Those high-sides can be a real killer...no pun intended. I've been down three times, the last was the worst. I was out for a Sunday ride when a 1964 Dodge Power wagon came around a blind left hander halfway in my lane. I threw it into the corner as best as I could, but ended up dragging my exhaust on the right which ended up unweighting the rear tire causing me to lose the bike in a slide. I let go right before I hit the truck, luckily I hit right between the drivers door and rear tire well, bounced under the truck and while he was busy running over what was left of by '88 GSXR 750, I slide almost unscathed beneath the undercarriage. He caught me on the left leg just above the knee with his rear tire and spit me down the road like a spinning top. I star fished and eventually stopped, thinking only "god I hope I didn't scratch my helmet" :D Ended up going to the hospital on that one. They put my bike into a garbage can to haul it home...literally. Oh well, sh*t happens right? There are only two kinds of riders anyhow, those who have been down, and those that are going down, Ride safe! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
