It's now 3:29 am. Scratching my *** and watching TV can only help pass the time so much. So, I decided to post a little story about last night.

Take a little journey with me back in time approximately 30.5 hours. I get a call from my friend who wants to go see Pirates of the Caribbean with our girlfriends.

Fast forward 3 hours. The movie was pretty good. A definite set up for a POTC 3. That's not the point though. We all pack in his Jeep and head back to our apartments. Now, close your eyes and try to envision the road up to my apartment. Well, don't close your eyes because then you won't be able to read this and that would make all of this pointless. You take a right off of the main road to get onto a very steep, 1/4 mile road that levels off at the top to reveal the apartments. We reach the top of the hill and take an immediate right towards our building.

Low and behold, we see a bunch of bikers sitting there "showing off" to the people by the club house and anyone else who drives up to the apartment complex. There were some nice bikes there... a couple GSXR's, a Ninja, what looked like a Triumph, and a few other bikes that I couldn't make out. Oddly enough though, I didn't seem to spot any sort of gear except helmets. Every one just wearing cut off shirts and shorts.

Now, mind you, I have NO problem with a motorcycle owner testing his stunting skills in an empty parking lot, or a long road with NO cars. However, when these jackasses are doing stoppies (or endos), wheelies, burnouts etc. etc. in a very crowded parking lot, I can't help but laugh and assume darwin is on his way.

Sure enough, they all decide to make their way out of the parking lot.... at the same time.... very fast.... doing wheelies. I'm sure you know where this is leading. When 10 bikers are all headed for one 10' exit doing wheelies, nothing good can come of this.

I stand in front of my building complex and watch one of the guys do a wheelie for about 10 feet, right into the back of a guy in front of him. They both crash. One of them skids about 20 feet on the pavement wearing nothing but shorts and a tshirt. The guys behind them, who thought it was more important to show off in a crowded parking lot rather than keep a safe distance between riders, also hit these two.

It was an orgy of dumb-assess and what looked like brand new bikes all piled into one. I thought about walking over there to ask if they were okay, but I'm sure one of the many observers who was closer was already doing so.

Now, for the cherry on top of the I'm a ******* moron sundae. The bikers who managed NOT to crash all parked their bikes to go check on the other guys. Where did they park their bikes you ask? RIGHT on the top of the ******* steep *** hill I mentioned earlier, right in the middle of the road. Keep in mind this is at about 12:30ish now. I don't know where you're from, but around here it gets pretty ******* dark at 12:30am. Parking your motorcycle at the top of a very steep hill, in the middle of the road, in the dark, is NOT a very bright idea.

Right now you're probably thinking that this story is so awesome it just can't get any better. Well, it does. The guy who drove us to the movie theater dropped off my girlfriend and I and then went to his girlfriends apartment, which is kitty-corner to ours. He calls me about 10 minutes after he left and said that as he was leaving, he managed to watch a car come up the hill and clip one of the ******* bikes that was parked at the top.

CLIFFS:
A bunch of dumb-asses thought it would be cool to do stunts in a crowded parking lot. They all go to leave, in wheelie position, and crash. Then, the ones who didn't crash park their bikes in the MIDDLE of the road, and one of the bikes gets hit by a car. Not very hard, but hard enough to knock it over and ruin what once was a perfectly nice motorcycle.

So please, let this be a lesson to all of you... don't be a jackass. If you're going to be stunting, don't do it in a crowded parking lot. If you insist on doing it, make sure you have practiced enough so you don't wheelie into the back of a fellow biker. Also, if you're going to be a dumb *** and park your bike in the middle of the road... well, you shouldn't own a bike.

Keep in mind I don't wish harm upon anyone. But, these guys were asking for trouble. Now, I'm going to go back to watching tv and scratching my ***

im not sure how the hell that is relivant unless of coure you had never ridden a bike before it might make some sense

 

superb story... if these newbs actually had any brains they would be dangerous. doing trick riding on a sport bike makes about as much sense as... well... nothing.

 

Squids

 

lol good story, hopefully they learned a good lesson

 

hahaha

stupid people are entertaining

 

damn, that was a good story, wish you had taken pics.

i just about shot soda out my nose, great story! it's amazing how brain dead people can be. squids

 

I do regret not going out there with my camera. I think the only reason I didn't was because I didn't want them to think I was taking pictures/recording because I thought they were cool. I didn't want to fuel their fire.

I should of went out there and just said, "Hey, I'm not standing here with a camera because I think you guys are cool, I'm just going to wait for one of you to crash."

I told this story to a guy at work who told me that they ALWAYS ride around the apartment complexes and down in the student ghetto trying to show off to people doing burnouts, wheelies, 15K rpm revs.... etc. etc.

If I get bored later today I'll go take a picture of the motorcycle skid mark left in the pavement and the curb the bike hit.
