This is actually very effective, but not for the stories! :spank: :spank: Then again, I'm single! :BLAA:
Seek out a hospital nurse
I have a rule. I can react, accerate and slow quicker at 120mph than pretty much any car on the road doing 80-90.
Hey buddy,
I have really enjoyed some of your posts on the forum, your since of humor has had my wife giving me that wtf look after reading some of your post. After nearly 11 years in the US Army I have had times I have felt invincible, and times where my own mortality smacked me in the face after the lost of a brother in arms. I do not want to log onto the forum and find myself face to face with that again because I saw you in the Fallen Riders/In Memory of section. So do me a favor, read some of the post in that section. Then sit down, and write out your own Fallen Riders/In Memory of thread. Write out what squish thing might of got you there, write out who is going to be left behind that the rest of us should keep in our prayers, write out a post for you. Save it to your desktop, and every time you start to get squidish just sit down and look it over. Take care.
It's what I did not to long ago when I met a cop motorcycle doing 50 in a 35 (a no school 4 lane road) I threw him the dueces, look down and saw I was speeding. He hit his brakes and lights and started to bust a u turn, I hit about 120. And thought to myself wtf are you doing?
I wuz lucky 'nuff to start in the dirt, where crash'in is just part of ride'in. :steve: Then I got mah street endorsement and continued ta crash on the street. (Back in the dark old dayz of biased ply tires.)I've been down quite a few times, luckily nothing too serious yet, but crashing out dont bother me that much anymore. When I did on the vstrom yeah it shook me up pretty good, and I felt that one for almost 2 weeks and don't remember any of the actual wreck just what led up to it and the after. Maybe if I highsided I might not say that cause that's a little more violent than the lowsides Im used to. I'm still trying desperately to learn how to drift a bike and I found out real quick that lowsides are part of that experience. But I've been fairly good the last few days, not gonna lie and say perfect but I have calmed down considerably.
The thing that pissed me off the most is that I wasn't even trying to push it and was actually tyring to go slow.
I guess the moral of the story is **** can happen anytime and it's only a matter of degrees of how bad it gets. I was only going 20 mph when I could have easily been hustling it going 40 and been off a cliff and probably not alive right now.
my first was early in november, What actually kept me calm was the fact that I wasn't pushin at all, I was able to just accept that it wasn't my fault and that $h!t happens on the calmest of rides.
