Scary
Riding a 2nd gear standup down the interstate and you get ready to go over the bridge but you happen to hit a massive pot hole at about 80, it kinda ***** you up. Right foot slips off and bike sea saws left to right and slams down when u close the throttle. Scary.... Happened right as I was bringing it back further so I could get behind the balance point and stop accelerating so much, scared the living **** out of me.
Anyone have stories like that **** happening to them?
My boy Richard was wheeling his street killer, all carbon fiber gixxer 1000, one time and his left foot slipped off the peg (my big fear) and it almost came to 12:00 with both feet hanging out and it slammed down went into ditch and came back out...

You should have seen the pothole comming. My foot slipped off the peg, but it was because there was snow on the ground and the bottom of my shoe was icy. Closing the gas is the worst thing you can do, just stay on it and get yourself together cuz if you chop the gas when your half on the bike guess what happens ? 
life is good......BRAAAP!

I was doing a 2nd gear standup on a friends tl 1000r ,like 5 yrs ago . Im not sure why but it shut off at over 70mph ,and since I had my weight pullin back on the bars ,when the front end dropped it pulled me forward over the front of the bike. I just rolled until the momentum was gone worst roadrash ever.
that sounds like it was a close call kelm , gotta watch out for those potholes on the interstate ,lol or just dont wheelie down the interstate . I gave that **** up years ago , whatever I'll stick to roads and lots. at least I dont have to worry about a semi- rig clockin me at 80 ,F Uk that!

I have had my foot slip off once in a turn.Guess i was leaning hard and the center of Nike's where plastic and there it went off the peg and a little side to side action to finish it off.And it wasn't my bike.Was on the guys bike that was riding behind me on my bike.
But the one that was better than that is i was riding behind one of my boys.He was rocking a standup.Coming up on a turn.Closer closer.Never sets it down untill he gets to the white line.Off the road into the ditch.Hiting tree lims bouncing around. Goes threw the entire corner in the ditch.Rides out of it back onto the road.And keeps truckin. 
After i seen he was ok that was some of the funniest **** i have ever seen.Talk about a brain fart.
:YEAH
