Well i remember an old friend telling me about this one time he was coming back from a trip .. he was on an older yahamah 750 that had some nuts ;)... anyway he and another friend had to run to the other's house and he lives in the country about 20 miles a way from our town.. going up there a bird ran into his leg while he was doing about 100mph.. that would have to hurt... anyway coming back just getting to town doing about 50 and the my adam (driver) thought dustin (passenger) was weaving back and fourth .. well adam turned around to cold cock dustin and dustin had this scared shitless look ... adam then looked down and had a blown rear tire.. somehow the lucky bastard gets it back under control and they end up having to walk the last mile or two... i saw the tire and was just astonished that he pulled it off... neither of them had helmets so someone was looking out for them.
and when i first got my bike the rear tire was bald and i was going around a corner.. well i think i used the rear brake a little..maybe/prolly too much and i started fishtailing... i ended up going up a part on the curb (where they didnt have it high because they at one time had/was going to have a driveway) drove on these rocks like i was in a nascar turn and ended up stopping on the side walk scared shitless... how i didnt wreck i will never know but i do know that i am a lucky mofo... only bad thing.. it was my birthday and my friend for that split second forgot he was on his bike and didnt start turning and dumped his bike.. sliding into the curb and just tearing off the fender... were just now getting his bike fixed.. its ony been almost 3 months... he's getting restless haha...
anyway hope these entertain you.... do you have any stories??
anyone else?

how much time have you got?
cop running: going two up when a cop was going opposite direction. passenger yells to gun it as cops do a u turn. i nail it and go and hide in a high school. i don't even know what i did to get the attention.
accident 1
had a car turn across in front of me and i tried to squeeze between him and parked cars. he (lovely guy he was) narrowed the gap. i hit him at the back door and my indicator smashed. as i went past him the indicator opened up his sheet metal like a can opener.
result: me broken indicator and a sore hand. he had to raplace the left hand side of his car.
accident 2
two-up late at night. guy runs a red. i hit the brakes so hard i lifted the rear and bent the triple clamps. i hit the rear quarter. misses jumps off as i chase the guy down. put the bike on his bonnet and left it there as i ran back to my wife. pubched his boot in on the way through (gotta love body armour).
he came up to us and my wife went to have a go at him until the cops showed up and wanted to arrest us!!!(i did abuse the lazy bastards as it took an hour to get them there when the station is 100m away) eye witnesses told them what happened and they left without charging the guy.

I call it squid on cop running, had to be your younger days eh? :D It was all on the gixxer right?
Btw, my personal favorite is you bashing up the Bimmer. I don't know why, but I hate Bimmer drivers.

Z, could it be the other thread of the lil BARSTOOL in the Beemer who ran a dude off the road? ;)
Anyhoo, I don't have all that many good stories... at least I don't think they are all that good. Now I want to go riding... I think I should go home and get out the bike. Yeah, bikes are good...

Okay, some stories that happened to a buddy of mine.
#1. This guy could lift the front wheel of any bike and run it through the gears on the rear wheel. I personally have seen him lift the front at highway speed for a half mile at a time.
One night he was riding home from his job at a bar at 3 am Saturday night on his Seca 900. He's stopped at a light, there is no traffic and he's bored, so he lifts the front wheel and carries it for 3 blocks.
He did not see the cop car right behind him at the light. They pull him over and give him a BIG ticket.
But they were really impressed......
#2. Same guy, riding, of all things, an old Kawa KZ 750 twin. He's on a 2 lane highway going into a fast bend in the road. A big Chrysler is coming towards him and is drifting wide, crosses the center lane and is now in his lane coming for him. He goes for the shoulder, and sails off the road, catches some air down an embankment, lands hads and slides into a plowed field.
He had his ghetto-blaster bungeed to the passenger seat. The impact of the landing broke it free and as he has sliding through the mud of the field the stereo sailed over his head (still playing Bryan Adams "Summer of '69") and lands ahead of him, where the casing broke into a dozen pieces.
The next time I saw that blaster it still worked, but was covered in duct tape to hold it together and used a bent coat hanger for an antenna.

worst accident...some of our family friends were out camping (they took their RV and motorcycle) they were riding their bike along the highaway around 10 pm. some old little lady, barely able to see over the steering wheel, driving in their lane, hits the bike, kills them both right there...probably one of the worst weeks of my life.
race story...i went to the track with my friend to watch his car (i know this is about bikes) and there was a 'busa there. it ran an 8, i was impressed.
