SirByron, It sounds like you have a very positive attitude about your accident. That can make the healing process go faster sometimes. Thank your lucky stars you didn't lose the whole thing, and will still have that opposeable digit to help you get through your life. GOOD LUCK with your...
Future Ghost Rider? Nah, just a future ghost. What was with the swerving after those sharp curves? Looked like a lame attempt to cover up bad lines. No offense, but you ride stoopid. Remember, not a Future Ghost Rider, Future Ghost.
While my Mom was in the Hospital, a newbe rider came in after a wreck. She was riding a 250 Ninja and she landed ON TOP of the guiderail. AT SPEED. The Police said she tried to pass on the outside and hit sand or gravel. In the waiting room we heard the Doctors talking to her family. She was...
I lean off the side on mine. I was at Bridgehampton Raceway on L.I. for the bike races and watched a guy on Kawasaki, where he leaned off so far his butt was duct taped. No crap. It was so totally awesome to watch. He came in second. After the race we went to see him in the pits and, as an...
I'll never forget the ride I made to the Light House on L.I. Ny. The wind was so fierce, to go straight we had to lean into it on about a 30degree angle, almost like going around a really sharp corner. If you're a fan of history, one of my heros, Bernd Rosemeyer, was killed on the Autobahn in...
I really like it when I drive at about 35mph or so and the bike snorts and pops like a thoroughbred being reigned in. People come running out of their houses when I romp on it hard. I used to have a Kawasaki triple that was not quite as bad. I love 2 strokes

I really need to do it on my RZ350 to keep the plugs clean. It's a 1984 Yamaha 2 stroke that's pretty highly modified and is a very high strung ride. It sounds just like a 250 GP bike with the Toomey pipes and Air box (really just a giant K&N cone, can you say intake noise?), and makes the hair...
I have my CCW and my Kimber .45 in a shoulder holster when I ride. I do carry 24/7/365. I believe that people who "legally" carry weapons are more respectful of people and life itself, and conduct themselves better than most people out there. The law enforcement professionals in my town are...
A true superman's race. Check out the video: Man to Man, for a look into the race. It's Joey Dunlop explaining how he rides the TT. Quote "aboot here I somatimes scrape my helmet on the wall" Unquote. Long live Joey, & rest in peace brother.

This reminds me of what Freddie Spencer said. He was talking about losing the front wheel under braking for a turn on his Honda GP 500 racer and he tried wicking open the throttle which UN-weighted the front tire and allowed him to negotiate the turn instead of losing the front tire and...
