Went on a little ride today with some guys from my local riding group (STLAR). Now some of these guys are experts, so they go fast.... here is what happens when you mix that and a novice rider, target fixation, and a brand new R6. I mean 2007 new with 300 miles on the tach....










The rider was unharmed, he will probably be sore in the morning though...

 

where were you guys riding? I live in huntington beach, ca now but used to live in st. charles for 20years.

 

did he have full coverage?

 

ouch, my friend wrecked his gsxr the other weekend when we were riding, made me feel really bad and kinda irresponsible like i shoulda been goin slower or somethin, that r6 is ****ed tho, tell him to streetfighter it

 

Damn, That sucks when your favorite toy is broken. [:'(]
Glad to hear the dudes alright.

 

If it has full coverage tell him may feel a little more comfortable on a Gixxer.Just bull****tin, if it's just his pride that's hurt he should feel real lucky. Fix it andforget it.

 

i had the same problem, its why i crashed my bike...over my head with experienced riders in a group, and target fixation...and my brand new 06 f4i

 

I'd hafta say almost if every1 in the early days of their riding history,have done that at least 1nce.......And if they dont Live up to it their probably Lyin.......Still always hertz to see a nice machine trashed ......Then again thats how ya learn.....

 

oh damn that sucks. that's pretty common down here too though... not-so-experienced rider(s) trying to keep up with experienced riders. that's why we emphasize... RIDE AT YOUR OWN PACE

hope he heals quick.

 

as far as trashing the new ride...i joke nowthats its beautiful from the right side...and thats y im always in the left lane on the highway!

and i thought i was riding at my own pace wen i crashed...the turn came up on me and i wasnt focused...or focused on the wrong thing...the side of the road
