The guy at the office with the GSXr who has been down 3 times (not counting his n00b drop) in 1 year went down hard yesterday.

He's in ICU in critical but stable condition with a collapsed lung, torn liver and other injuries. We don't have any details beyond that. His mother called the office to let us know he wouldn't be in and we didn't want to pry. Only thing we know is he was on his bike, he was going fast and nobody else was said to be at fault.

Everyone that rides at the office knew something like this was coming for him given his previous accidents (hit the highway divider, lost a wheelie on a bridge and hit a car doing a legal u-turn). But none of us wanted to be right. As far as gear goes he was prolly wearing a helmet and armored vest. I never saw him in anything beyond that

 

they always have to learn the hard way.

Hope he makes a full recovery tho n learned a lesson.

 

Some people just shouldn't ride. Hopefully he'll survive the lesson and be smart enough to realize he's one of them.

 

Unfortunately we have another one that's prolly next. The guy who took half the BRC with me last year. He's had his license maybe 3-4 months, rides wearing less gear than Steve did (won't wear a jacket if it's hot), has yet to put mirrors on his bike and is trying to sell his 636 to get a liter.

This guy doesn't have the skills to handle a 600 (can't corner cause he won't lean). But he's proud to have gotten her up to 150 mph (in a straight line of course). A liter is suicide.

 

natural selection at work

 

^ horrible comment but funny nonetheless

 

lol proud of being able to twist a throttle. yaya!

 

leaning is for chumps, straight lines are awesome

 

yep, i remember you mentioning him before. still always hate to see a rider down.

 

Where'd you decide on a name for your bike kuro? I'm not one to usually name my toys but I like that one. It's unique
