Well, here it happens again. A lady driving a car cuts one of my friends off leaving him forced to brake hard. He skids 50ft and slides. He had his arai helmet, leather jacket, and gloves on. Ended up with a few bad bruises. Needs new fairings now. Sad part is that the lady that cut him off didnt even bother to stop and help. So many horrible human beings on this earth. Instead, the lady behind him that almost hit him, stopped and helped. At least there are still some good people.

My brother also looped his bike doing a standup wheelie going around 30mph. Hands were scratched pretty good. Asphalt ripped right through the gloves. Needs new fairings also.

Also saw some guy fall hard after he flipped over his handle bars landing a 12'oclock wheelie. Cut his cheek open(open face helmet) and cut his hands up nicely. Looked scary as hell watching that.. He flipped over the handle bars and landed straight on his back w/ his legs still in the air. Scary ****.

This all happened today Stunts were all away from traffic and at a stunt spot. So no flamers on playing in traffic bs.

Just thought i'd share....RIDE SAFE GUYS!

 

omg thats a rough weekend sorry to hear that man . . . I've witnessed quite a few accidents myself, and they were all riding in turns so they were all always bad. One guy broke his arm and collar bone, another guy had bleeding on the brain, a broken pelvis, a broken wrist, and some broken ribs. Another guy trashed his bike (not purposely, just lost it). I was a witness to all of them . . .

That explains everything...j/k. Sorry to hear about your brother and friend.

 

yea, i hate witnessing crashes. Just scares the **** outta me. Seeing blood just freaks me out. Looks like my bro also broke off one of his subframe mounts and engine mount where the frame slider was.

funny how on a gsxr the subframe mount just breaks off where as on my honda the subframe got tweaked slightly. I've heard of gsxrs having weak subframes...i guess it was true.

 

Yea in Servin it up 2, a guy 12's a ginxer and eventually steps off the bike and starts holding it while standing still, and it hit the tail a little before he pushed it back over, and you can watch the subframe just break at the bottom mounting points . . .

they are weak. The mounting points seem to break quite often when doing 12s. They seem ok under normal riding conditions tho. If your not 12ing it, dont worry bout it.
