Well i know this is a honda fourm but i just want to just say something. The GSX-R or one strong bikes.
Heres the proof:
Well me and my cousion and friends are riding around saturday night 5-28-05. we come upon this long street that empty and my cousion pops the clucth. so he does about 65 down the street for about 20 secs. then a Honda accord turns onto the street in front of my cousion. well my cousion slams on the brakes but he find him self in the E.r. with a massive road rase on his body. part of his heel is missing and his arm looks like it has a 9 degree burn on it. and he was scrubed down with brushs and he felt it so bad that he past out when they were down.(they also gave him morfin) well we saw the car he hit on tuesday and the rear bumper support is slammed in the trunk. they cant open the trunk. the car looks bad. but now to the bike. well we had a car following us with 2 people in it. and i was riding my gs500f(fun bike) so one of the guys in the car rides my gs500f home. while i ride my cousions bike to his house. when i get to his house i looked at the bike. the only thing broken on it was the head light and some minor scratchs. well to make a long story short. The gsx-r are strong bikes.

p.s. my cousion is doing fine now. Also he was hurt so bad because he didnt have his jacket and pants on. well crashing is a thing that happens with a street bike

 

Dude sometimes you dont know how fast your going especially on the brakes due to how fast you slow...it is just a cosmetic thing...I feel for your friend though...be in the road to recovery and ride again.

Yeah its all comestic. and yes you dont realive how fast your going untill you try slowing down or hit something. He is on the road to recovery but i dont know if he will ride agian because the chunk missing from his foot.

 

Did the bike make contact with the car? Did he make contact with the car? What was the speed limit? Was it safe to be travelling at that speed? Was the street well lit? Could he have swerved to avoid the car, instead of slamming on the brakes?

If the bike made contact with the car, and only came away with a broken headlight and a few scratches, then I am slightly impressed. But your details are sketchy and not very clear.

I hope your cousin heals well and, if he decides to ride again, does it safely in the future.

yeay, i love 20 questions. j/k. well the bike and him made contact with the car. the speed limit was 45. the street wasnt well lit. Well saying your safe going 60 is not safe. not even is 10 mph safe. well it happened so fast i dont think he had time to think of anything, just slam on the brakes. also there was loose gravel on the road so im sure that screwed him over.

and yeah the only thing broke was the head light and some minor stracths. when i get my digi cam back from my friend ill get some pics of the bike and the street. oh and him. sry for my grammar its 1 am here and ive been up since 5am.
