i did the superman too for just over 200 ft lol.

 

Well my hand surgeon told me this morning that if my wrist/hand doesn't seem to be getting better in a couple months he wants to talk about fusing it which I do not want to happen

 

hope it isnt your rosey palm hand. that would be bad.

when i did the superman my ball sack and pelvis crushed my gastank in a couple inches. my ***** was black and blue for a while.

 

Haven't been on motorcycle in years and have no desire to return. .....it's dangerous enough riding around in full size truck here......the thing that always gets me is how not all but a lot guys on bikes buzz around like aholes oblivious to the reality they could be dead in seconds as a result of there macho man riding show

 

ill have to dig up the pic of my gastank.

i have 80,000 miles on a street bike as a daily commuter. trust me it is dangerous. but most can be avoided if you pay very good attention to the people around you.

 

Just wanting to remind everyone as the weather improves to watch out for our fellow two wheeled road goers!

 

long ways to go here.

 

We haven't really had a winter here this year, and tons of bikes have been out lately.

 

either have we just lots of rain and freezing rain. we usualy get a hugh spring dump though.

 

Always do. I don't think I'll be seeing many of them around just yet though! Weather is still a bit too cold out to be riding in KS just yet!

 

Bikes have already been out on a couple different occasions here but its snowing again. Next week it'll melt and the bikes will be out again.

 

I had a M/C accident in 76 and I am reminded of it every time I put my left foot on the ground to walk.
I havn't been back on one and don't plan to.
I hope you heal and are as pain free as possable.

 

Saw a kid on a crotch rocket yesterday. He's not riding today though, we had a foot of snow. Thing is in cold weather this time of year, people just aren't thinking about motorcycles, it's not expected and so even more risky fwiw. Too many people don't know how to drive sad to say, motorcycles are the best, it's something else to ride these days. Oh well.

 

I know it's not so unrelated, but using the correct tires on your bike. My brother is an example of that, took a bike he was building for the street, and only had street tires, and had to take the dirt road to get there. Long story short, he's fine, but the bike was totaled, and he had just finished building it.

The same goes for 4wheleers and those of us with 6 or more as well. I've seen crazy bikers before driving in the winter weather, being safe is more than just paying attention to the road.

Too many people texting and driving, looking at their fancy in-dash displays, changing the channel, and a host of other distractions being built into vehicles these days are not helping all y'all bikers out there. All I need are my gauges and my radio's. Personally, that's the reason I drive a stick. I'm more focused on the road, my whole body engaged in driving, not just my right foot and one hand.

That being said, I'd like to own a bike one of these years. But right now, I have no need for one.

 

a friends father had a BMW R75 back in the late 70's. that was his only transportation. rode it every day, rain, snow and sun.
it had 75,000 miles on it when he moved to florida, bought a car, and retired it.

but he still rode til the day he died in his sleep at 77 yrs old. .
