...but can you do it in 4th gear at 140mph?

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”

I was dumped off the back of a bike on Hillsborough Ave last year. He told me to "hold on"..I thought he just meant "sit up"...he hit the throttle, and down I went...ass first. God did that hurt.
A few months ago I dropped my own bike (2003 GSXR 600) on SR 54 and Little Road, by the Walmart. I got caught in the rain, I hit a patch of oily loose gravel, and down I went.

i have fallen twice. first time was my first time hoping on a bike, typical dumb stupid kid getting a bike and thinking, I can ride it ok, no big thing. Got about 5 feet before I dumped the clutch rolled the front end up and fell off the back and landinf face first onto dale marby. so minor scarpes and bruises. I made sure for a newb to have all my gear before trying to ride.
second time was about 6 months ago I was going down 275 around the downtown exit and it started to rain, hit a puddle of standing water. sent the bike to the left and me to the right. slide across three lanes of traffic, rubbed against the concrete barrier wall for a few senconds and stopped about 15 ft from the ass end of those metal guard rails. Had a couple of broken ribs and plenty of bruises, but thank GOD no road rash. My lid didnt even have a scartch on. My cloths though were pretty f-ed up.

no drops or crashes yet. i've become fairly decent at twisties and haven't even attempted stunting (not really my bag). i expect i'll bin it eventually once i start doing track days.
