Re: Stupidity hurts...

I totaled my 05 gsxr 600 in a wheelie. i went down at about 130 mph...i was stunting for about two years and never forgot to set the steering damper but that day i did. i was in a wheelie for a couple miles and something in my head said set it down you've gone far enough. so i decide to be safe and set it down and i got the tank slaps at about 95 in third so i gave it full throttle to try and ride it out it started getting better then next thing i know it kicks the rear end out and my face hit the pavent. i remeber everything like it was yesterday....scariest **** ever. i remember the bike hitting the rev limitor right before i went down so we assumed that it was about 120-130 mph. i learned my lesson real quick and still have my helmet and wrecked bike to remind me that i have a kid and a gf that i need to be alive for so i stopped riding all together. i managed to stand up 5 secs after i stopped sliding and floping down the road/ ditch. my bike was totaled and i walked away with $10k in hospital bills $9k lost in a new bike and 2 weeks of hospital visits for road rash and physical therapy. didn't break anything only dislocated my shoulder sprained my thumb and tons of road rash where my jacket lifted and where the pavement bunrt through.....that **** is dumb and i wil never do it again....my friend went down two weeks later same injuries but he still rides.
