We were heading for home last night,doing the usual stuff n and ended up at McClaren. he's going to be all right in time, but for now he hurt his ankle-leg-finger-and has some pretty serious road rash.But Thank GOD for it cuz it coulda been alot worse. hopefully they will total out the bike n get him a new one. he mentioned sumthin bout a busa-witch is a good sign cuz he must plan to continue riding :YEAH for those of you who might not know Todd,he is almost always w/ me-and rides the silver zzr1200,black n white rocket jacket.(that jacket took one hell of a beating last night-you should see it!!) WEAR YOU'RE GEAR GUYS!!! I know I will!!! anyway,lets pray for a speedy recovery,I want my ridin buddy back!

 

what happened...and how fast was he going...speedy recovery dude!

 

2nd gear standup-Iwasnt really payin much attention to speed,but he slid proly 60-70 ft.,the bike went alot farther than that.it came sliding out in front of me n I almost ran into it! scared the $#!% outa me when he didnt move right away,I just saw him,they got em home on the couch w/ his new freind vicadin.I think it'll be okay in a few weeks.popo called today askin questions-I think thats gonna be ok as well

 

where were you guys at? no cops at the scene? what kind of questions did they ask? did he have his wallet?

Hope you get feeling better quickly Todd.

sorry to hear that. ya we gonna miss ya riding.. did he say what happened? Forgot the rear brake? Just throttled too much?

 

Wind was bad at times yesturday. It took me a ways past the balance point yesturday too but I am a big fan of covering the rear brake. I think the fiddy thought me the rear brake should be covered just in case. Hope he gets better fast and it sucks crashing.

s. of you're house(Idon't really want to say where for reasons you'll understand) there were like 3 popo depts. there fire dept,n2 ambulence-neighbors musta called,they were there fast! especially for where we wereYou know the area. saw they insisted on towing the bike despite both our objectoins-n yes we protested quite unmistakably-one of the neighbors even offered to keep it while I could get my truck but I guess it's evidence in case he died(whatever that means-Its what they said) I saw him today and is doing good considering,n cant wait to get back to ridin :YEAH Sumthin like $5000.00 worth of damage to the ride,but so far doesnt sound like they plan to total it.Personally I think he should get a new bike out of it but whatever,Im just glad I didnt have to see a friend die

 

neither of us cover the rear break,its all in the wrist man,I guess it would be a good thing to learn I just cant get my foot down that far!??? practice practice

 

A good thing to learn LOL Dude your only out sometimes between you and the asphalt is your Rear Brake and high speed wheelies the wind can help you make that decision. I would say learnign to cover the rear brake is a real smart thing to learn.
