So I crashed my crotchrocket

TheOak · 06-14-2005, 08:25 AM

Can't believe it but it happened. Did a fast 3rd gear stand up wheelie and was thrown over the handlebars by a monster tank slapper fallowing landing. missed 2 streetlights and a concrete ditch drum so I could have died

really lycky to walk away with only a broken left collarbone. bike is prob totalled.

The question is Did you learn anything?

HBK589 · 06-14-2005, 08:32 AM

Was it your first bike? What was it?

TheOak · 06-14-2005, 08:48 AM

no more fast wheelies. bike was an -02 gsxr750.

Shike · 06-14-2005, 08:49 AM

Don't think it's his first bike if he's doing third gear stand up wheelies. Am curious as to what it was though.

Sucks man, I'm always worried I'm going to crash mine. Been lucky so far I guess.

Yeah, my dad used to race and he was always coming home with all sorts of injuries. Just gotta be careful.

Bad_Vibes · 06-14-2005, 09:01 AM

Your priorities are jacked. You sound sad about the bike. You should be pissed that you won't be able to do any upper body work for quite a while. Your gonna have floppy arms man.

your are soooo lucky to be alive...i crashed mine 2 years ago, same bike as you but an '01...broke 3 bones in my foot...i bought the new '05, 1000, the thing's a beast.

are you planning on riding again?

Hartski · 06-14-2005, 09:29 AM

I hate to be an ass here, but that's what happens when you do stupid stuff like wheelies and whatnot.

TheOak · 06-14-2005, 09:45 AM

high speed wheelies are stupid but hella fun, so what can you do. but i've learned my lesson and will settle for the slow stuff from now on, it's more challenging anyway. and i got a 60 tooth rear sprocket ready.

i hope my insurance covers the bike, but in any case will definitely keep riding.

now i know it's true what they say about there being 2 types of riders, the 1's that have crashed and the 1's that will crash.

i'm glad to be alive to type this.

Insurance probably isnt going to cover it if you were honest on your police report. Most tend to have some form of a "jackass clause" as i call it.

This is why I gave you reps bro!

**ratmonkey** · 06-14-2005, 03:41 PM

you don't have to stop doing stunts, just keep it off public roads from now on.

of course, this is after you manage to buy your next bike.

sensation · 06-14-2005, 03:43 PM

ugh

TheOak · 07-10-2005, 06:50 AM

Thought I'd update on how things went. Insurance covered everything cause what really happened was I hit a deer

Collarbone is feeling better but not at 100% yet, but I'm already riding my new bike.

So alltogether a happy ending

Crashing Bikes will hurt your gains in the gym Bro.

Yeah, great. Nice insurance fraud, there. Thanks to people like you, the rest of us that don't do stupid **** with our vehicles have to pay higher prices for insurance.

Chris · 07-11-2005, 09:25 AM

I hate insurance, except when I need it.

FatCoder · 07-11-2005, 09:27 AM

Thats bullcrap you got a new bike, its completely your fault for being an idiot

The Sacinator · 07-11-2005, 09:31 AM

HEY, if youre not wreckin, youre not ridin... It happens to us all.. Just keep on practicing..I'm bout to go out and throw up some circles..later..

Serynu · 07-11-2005, 09:50 AM

Glad they covered it. If he didn't wreck it on purpose it isn't fraud.

The reason you have insurance is in case of an accident and the majority of them happen from doing irresponsible things regardless if he was doing stunts on a bike or eating a cheese burger and talking on the cell phone in a car.

pharm · 07-11-2005, 09:52 AM

didn't you almost die a couple weeks ago for passing a Semi on the shoulder?

Ashford · 07-11-2005, 09:55 AM

I would like to personally thank your for being a squid and helping motorcycle riders everywhere have their insurance go up higher. Keep it on the track next time and don't use the insurance if you screw up.

nateakabear05 · 07-11-2005, 09:57 AM

happens to the best of us. At least you didn't die and came out only with that. My dad used to race when he was younger and he would always come home with some horror stories. I think the last time he races he fell and a guy ran over his head with a bike. Thank God for helmets.
