Yea..I am grateful I wasnt hurt and the bike came out relatively unscathed.
Sometimes I wish my bike wasnt so shiny and good looking so I wouldnt be afraid to to dirty it up or get a couple of scratches!

 

I knew this poor bastage one time that tried to do a drunken burnout on my, oh I mean HIS Fatboy to impress some girls on a balcony of his apartment complex. The bike shot off and bounced off the back of a car.

 

Been there, done that.&nbsp\\; More than once.[:@]&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Usually not too bad, but&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;your pride is&nbsp\\;almost always DOA.

 

OMG, your joking right? lol how bad was your, i mean HIS bike?

 

Just a few weeks ago,&nbsp\\;same thing, tight u-turn. In the middle of it my brain slipped into neutral and I tapped the front brake. Went down fast but not so fast that I couldn't jump off without getting hurt. The derby cover got a little scratched but my pride was seriously injured. So was my back from getting it back on it's wheels, which I was trying to do before anyone saw me or ran over me! I've spent the last couple of week thinking that just maybe, I'm to stupid to ride. Still don't know why I did that. Anyway, been riding a few times since, and it's still all good!

 

ALMOST dumped my bike getting out of office.
Road looked clear and started pulling out when this dork comes rocketing down the road.&nbsp\\; This other dork (i.e.: me) grabbed a handful of brake with the front wheel almost fully to the right.&nbsp\\; And down went the bike. I thought "NOOOOOooooooo!!! NOT THE TANK!!!" and pulled as hard as I could, turned green and big and could keep it up. But was a really, really close call.
I think being 6'6" by 220 pounds even before turning into the Hulk helped a lot

 

one time back when I rode my old hot rod FXRP I pulled up to my house to find a cop watching the place, (not unusual in those days), pulled in and hit the gas to blast out a note at the bastard and just then my cluch cable decided to break, lol, cop laughed his *** off wathing me run into my garage door an flop over like an idiot. He had to drive up as he was leaving and shoot off some aswipe remark about he thought I knrw how to ride that thing or some such.
NOT one of my finer moments, lol.

 

One week after getting my Fatboy I am pulling up to an intersection and a bee flew into my ear (3/4 helmet). Left hand trying to knock it clear, grabbed the front brake and down I went. My buddy next to me is trying not to laugh, and I had such an adrenaline rush (not to mention embaressment) I just snatched the bike upright.&nbsp\\; The look on his face when I did that was priceless.

Unfortunately, two weeks later he had an MI (heart attack) and passed.&nbsp\\; RIP, Kenny.

 

took my Dad's Yamaha Venture For A ride last fall and found out that neither the anti-lock brakes or the anti-dive forks work very well....And also discovered Ford Explorers Dont stop on a dime, or a venture for that matter..... Lots of road rash, Couple ribs, and an arm... good times.
