Jebus hawks9nkh NSFW that crap!

rebelyell2006: shiat, someone submitted a link from the Rome news-tribune? Is there a farker out there other than me that is from Rome?

And where the hell did he manage to get 154 mph in Floyd county? Except maybe on Technology parkway. But that wasn't mentioned in the article.

Assuming it's a GSX-R he could do that in the quarter.

hawks9nkh: Enjoy your vacation, buddy. :)

WTF is your problem.

Patterson was charged with reckless driving, speeding 130 mph in a 55 mph zone, fleeing or attempting to elude police, failure to maintain a lane, leaving the scene of an accident and passing in a no-passing zone, according to Chief Investigator Eddie Colbert.

But not with driving without a license? If he was on his way to get his license, that seems clear. And this is the kind of guy I'd hit for every infraction.

I also don't buy the "had an appointment to get my license" crap. First, being late for an appointment doesn't give you the right to drive 3 times the speed limit, nor does it give you the right to run from the cops. And second, I've never seen a DL office that worked on appointments.

I ride an old Interceptor that I could hit about 150 on if I felt like it.

Do I, though? HELL NO! I like all my organs where they are, thank you very much!


Crotch rockets aren't evil - but if the rider happens to be a jackass, someone's gonne die or get badly hurt sooner or later.

JuggleGeek: And second, I've never seen a DL office that worked on appointments.

You obviously never got a license in Floyd County.

My right hand was doing 175 mph when I rubbed one off this morning.

frog pajamas: Word! You ever wanna get jazzed up on some shizz, his videos are it! Bad ass rider!

It is kinda rare to collide with stuff at speed on a bike and keep on chooglin.

Rare, but not impossible.

I was riding with my brother a few years ago up in the NC and TN mountains. He was about 200ft ahead of me doing about 60-70mph on his GSX-R1000 on one of the few broad, open, straight roads in the area and I got to watch as a large deer jumped right in front of him. He didn't have time to stop, so he twisted the throttle instead, hoping to get ahead of it. Instead, he wheelied right into the deer and smacked his front tire into the spot between its ribs and hips (probably the softest part of the beast) and nearly severed the animal in half. He didn't go down, and other than most of the plastic fairings being destroyed or covered in gore and entrails, the bike was fine. We rode another 300 miles that day. It was about a week before we found the last bits of fur and gore embedded in his GSX-R.

Once I saw he was ok, I was kicking myself for not having a video camera on my bike.

Damn, that is pretty funny.

loki see loki do

Yeah, I don't know much about bikes. Mine has 21 speeds.

Awesome.

Ive only been 135 on my SV1000s. But that was only 2/3 the way through 3rd gear. Man that thing has a ton of torque.

Love my bike- 55mpg driving easy or 40mpg driving like an idiot. Either way im out 10$ in gas a week.

154 these days is no big deal.

Back in 1980 a good friend of mine was popped for 150 on a Kawasaki.

The cops were so impressed with his evasion skills that they DROPPED the reckless driving charge out of respect.

Of course he still went to jail..

Whoops forgot to mention that he was doing 150 with a passanger on board when he passed a cop. He never saw the cop, but cop called ahead . . .

So what did hawks9nkh post? It seems to be gone now.

Glass Parking Lot: So what did hawks9nkh post? It seems to be gone now.

A close-up of a motorcyclist ripped in two. I think I saw a kidney.

Meh, I've fallen off motorcycles at speeds most of you will never see behind the wheel, and I'm fine.

mikaloyd: What natural predator of the deer makes a ultrasonic whistling noise? I say this as someone who lived in the Santa Cruz Mountains for six years and had more than his share of experiences with rats on stilts.

Xerxes99: /the second entry made me chuckle.... does this mean I am a bad man?

I'm missing 2 organs do to a motorcycle crash (not speeding no one else involved) so I got a kick out of your reply.

The Invisible Sky Wizard: I demand more pics of motorcyclist pavement smears.

I cant post them (fark TOS), but there's pics out there of some guy attached by the head to the back of a semi.

Apparently was going super fast, tried to swerve around it, dropped the bike under the rear wheels and embedded his face in the truck, then got dragged for a mile before the trucker got flagged down.

It's not THAT gruesome, but if you relish someone getting what he friggin deserved, sorta fun.

I've got a 2002 R6 that I ride. I have to say by far and away the sport bikers in this area are the better riders. The old men on the cruisers and the rebels on their choppers are the ones I see wearing a tshirt and shorts and weaving through traffic at 100+
Denver, it's the smear on the road alternative to retiring in Florida.

That's an understatement. The guy was in about twenty lil' pieces and looked like chop suey.

It was from ride2die.com. WARNING: NSFW

Saw that one. Pretty gnarly.

Remember, on a M/C, St Charles of Darwin is always with you!!

There aren't many animals that use ultrasonic sound, period...

Come to think of it, you don't see many deer out in the desert, do you?

dustman81 I taught for the MSF for 3 years. I love the skills they help build. Our course provided 125cc bikes so you didnt have to wreck your own, or even have one...just a temp motorcycle permit. The first half of the first day is spent learning the absolute basics and riding a chair in the classroom. Then you get to graduate to pushing bikes around a parking lot. After that, you get to start them and learn about the clutch friction zone, and then it really gets fun!

I started teaching for the MSF after I saw 1 too many of my friends become a squid road pizza...I think the MSF or a similar course, should be required classes for both motorcycle and cage drivers, it really opens your eyes.

dustman81: Jinkeez: /And then I passed my MSF course shortly after that, and got a nice '81 Suzuki GS650G

Incidentally, I'm taking my MSF course tomorrow. How was it? I've never ridden a motorcycle so I hope they start with the basics.

Its actually a lot of fun. The best part is that on the first day they call attendance and then bring you outside to start riding, no boring class til later. And they start with the very basics, learning was a breeze.

2007 GSX-R 600, my baby.

MSF course was easy if you listen up and use your head. They'll probably start you on Honda Rebels or Nighthawks (250cc), or an equivalent sized bike. I took the weekend long course, and came out with a good chunk of knowledge that I had lacked before. I had never ridden a motorcycle before, and the short but sweet learning session was very informative. Just remember there is no amount of classtime that will make up for a lack of common sense.

Regardless of whether you decide on a cruiser, sportbike, touring, etc, just use your head in traffic so you don't become a statistic/horror story. Also remember that if you think drivers are bad when you're in a car, you'll consider them 100x worse when you're on a bike. After the first month you won't worry about your riding skills, but the lack of driving skills of most every driver out there.

Where did you teach it? I took mine in MA and we went straight to the bikes, iirc.

How many BARFers we got in here?

/raises hand.

I took the ERC first- As I had been riding for a while before that. I did learn a ton that I hadnt and yes-

farking car drivers are clueless, especially the 16yearold cell phone having chicks.

I hope you bike haters are not that same people who say we should not execute rapists.

Steezy:Where did you teach it? I took mine in MA and we went straight to the bikes, iirc.

I taught on a military base in Arizona, so our course was modified from the one that the regular public gets...plus the course has gone through several modifications since '93 when I taught...that's cool that they're taking you straight out to the bikes now!

154 on a motorcyle. This will work itself out in a very short time. Of this, I am sure.

Every time I have hade ride on the shoulder or dodge a car pulling out in front of me it has been a women on a cell phone in an SUV.

Had an idiot in an civic- Stop at a yellow light and back up. I slid with my wife on the back until 2 feet from his bumper (on he tires). We could have both made it through the light. I wanted to get off my bike and beat his ass.

/not Jinkeez, but I play him on TV (I told him to take the class before he got his bike)

I took the MSF, it was really fun... I'd never ridden a motorcycle before, didn't know jack about it - as in, they had to teach me how to turn the turn signals off, the provided the bikes, taught how the clutch and gears worked, by the end of the class I was riding and shifting and felt comfortable.

Took what they call the MSF-2 here, which was with my own bike a year or so later - much harder but still fun.

As long as the instructors are good, it should be fun - best advice I can give in preparation is don't stress about anything - treat it as fun, pay attention and don't try to push any limits. You'll have a great time.
