Default indoed into the back of a car :(

sunday we were heading out to a stunt spot, must have been 95 degrees out so i put my gloves in my trunk with intentions of putting them on when i got there. this must have been the first time i've riden without gloves ever, and it will definately be the last. anyway were about 2 blocks from the wharehouses and i'm coming up to a light that just turned green, i see the cars start to go and i was going around 60-65 and decide to bring up a stoppie as i get closer to the last car at the light i realize that he's not moving i try to bring the indo down but its too high and doesnt come down so i begin to steer away from the car. almost miss the car but my right hand goes through the brakelight. then had to ride home with a F'd up hand and no brake cause the lever snapped off. not a good day.

yeah i knew i'd get bashed a bit. I learned from it, biggest lesson whas not to expect other vehicles to do anything. i was fairly far from the light and all cars when i brought it up and if the car i hit would have gone when the light turned(dont know if he stalled or was just too busy watching me in his rearview) he would have been long gone by the time i got there.

ouchhhh, that looks like it hurts. I always wear my gloves even on my pocket bike. Well yesterday i decide to ride my pocket bike just around the neighborhood one time since i got it running again with no gloves. Tried wheelieing that bitch and it came up too high(it usuals doesnt even come up an inch) and my hand got caught on the throttle. I tried saving it and my left hand scraped on the ground...not too bad tho, very minor. At least the bike got hardly scratched. That was the first time ever that i actually got a cut from a bike...funny thing is that it was a pocket bike. Those things are damn dangerous

I would not be surprised if you stop posting one day, having gone to jail for hurting someone while "representin'" in traffic.

I HIGHLY doubt any of you who are putting him down for making a mistake wear gear 100% of the time and don't speed/stunt or something else illegal on your bike so don't be hard on someone else and if you don't do anything like that, you should grow some ***** and have a little fun

Gloves are one of the peices of gear i wear 100% of the time (helmet and jeans also). I guess I could take skin on my arm, chest or leg being gone, by I figure the hands would be too painful and I use them too much.

That sucks! I stopped doing endo's when cars are in front of me after I had a mishap with my front tire washing out on my at 50-55mph. My bike slid on its cage for about 100 feet and finally stopped in the middle a 3-way light. Good thing there wasn't a car in front of me and good thing it wasn't a busy intersection or else my bike would have slammed into the back of one or would have been T-Boned by one coming from the side.

Get that throttle hand on its way and go out and ride!

BTW: Nice jeans... Diesel???
