Insanity is Sanity
I was spooked by another rider today while riding to work. I was on the freeway going with the flow of traffic, 70ish mph on the fast lane. Suddenly, this rider roared on by with his R1, two brothers exhuast, at about 90 to 100 mph on the second lane. I "jumped" in my seat. :ban:
You're asking, How do you know it is two brothers exhuast at that speed?
This is how I know... About 1 kilometer away the same rider laid the bike down. He was splitting/filtering lane at the speed mentioned above, maybe slower. From a witness's account, a cager change lane and cut off his route. He reacted and lost control of the bike. The bike have damages in the front, top of the gas tank (might have flipped), and the whole backend was loose (sneak a peep at the pipes) . Amazingly, no other vehicle was involved.
I stopped to help out and see that he has no gears on except for a helmet. He has road rash on the left shoulder blade, left lower back, and some cuts on his hands. :squid: Another great reminder to gear up and slow down.
P.S. He has gears but decided not to wear it today.
