that was my best friends ryan and amanda who went down. i dont see how ryan went down he corners just as good as me with his girl on the back he is an excelent rider. ryan caught his jacket on the bike and was dragged with the bike a good 150 feet and if the bike hadnt of stopped where it did that street sign would have taken him out. amanda has a broken collar bone, she did not brace herself for imnpact because she thought he was turning low and did not realize that he was going down till she was actually on the ground. this is really sad for me because they were my riding buddies and basically the leader of our group. they always led wednesday nights when we meet at the hess on 54 and little. if they didnt ride i usually didnt ride. most of you all probably know amanda she was well known in the biker community. the bike just needs an undertail plastic and a front end plastic, race railz saved the day...
amanda is a little freaked and when i say a little i mean a lot. she basically doesnt even want to ride again. i know that when she is all better she will change her mind because riding is what makes the next day worth waking up for. she was telling me "if a car would have been there...." when you go down there is always something that could have happend that could have killed you, but the main thing to remember is that it didnt and you will get back up and ride again...

I know her pretty well. I read this the other day not knowing who it was.
I'm so glad there both ok! I understand why she doesn't want to ride again. Its really not the best experience in the world... Sometimes as fun and great it is to ride.... Its not always worth getting badly hurt or the worst perishing.
Some people have different views and again everyone has an opionion. IMO I don't think its very wise for anyone no matter how great you ride having two people on a bike is way more dangerous. It makes you go lower in the corners but you have the extra weight of 100-150 lbs on the back... It changes everything. I will not go on twisties with a passenger to much weight. Def not putting someone elses life on my shoulders while I go hauling ass in corners... This is just my opionion, you don't see races on bikes with two people on the ride... Its way to dangerous! Being that I have rode many twisties and to this day I don't go as fast as I use to push it! Its just way to many factors cars, trees, fences, signs, people and soon... Just safer on the track if you go down there not all those things on the side of the rode... Hope for a fast recovery!

I can explain the mysterious Ju Ju.... I think its the rizzla ridas!
I've been behind others/other groups (no one on this board) who ride that road too hard and end up almost wrecking.... and that is with no sand/water/misc debris in the road. If you add in the other "x" factor on top of riding too fast for the road/corner/skill of the rider, it spells disaster.
The reason that road has claimed so many is because everyone knows about that road and its easy to access it (near town)... so people who don't normally ride twisties go hit the road and then get surprised by it.
