Awrite...... someone's got some 'splainin to do....

[YELLAHEEP]

Rumor control Mason......

Did you or did you not pile up that bike already?

Did you get hurt or are you ok?

Ready to go back to something with 4 wheels?



Spill it goober............ :dunno:

 

[Kiefer316]

And for the record I didn't say chit....

 

[mcantar18c]

Laid it down, dented the tank a bit, no biggie, I'm ok, all's good.
And no, I've gotten pretty hooked on this 2 wheel stuff


Now, if they would just make a diesel powered 2 wheel crawler, I'd be set

 

[Rockken]

Damn Mason, glad you are ok. When Mike said those bikes are easy to toss around, he didn't mean it literally.

:roflmao:
I didn't damage anything I'm not intending to replace with aftermarket/upgraded parts anyway, so its cool. I've got a few scrapes here and there but nothing big... doc says I fractured my foot, but I don't believe him lol, after the first little bit I could walk on it fine.

 

[BJL913]

Be careful man! wear some leather and a bucket! glad to hear you're ok! I have been riding for about 15,000 miles in my lifetime(not alot at all), 95% of that on 1000cc rockets, and have been fortunate enough to never contact pavement with anything other than the rubber side. Just keep your head on a swivel and dont try and ride past 75% of your ability at any time.

 

[Rockken]

That's not going to effect your ship date is it? Make sure you wear the right gear on that thing. Remember there are idiots out there sharing the road with you.

 

[mcantar18c]

Yup, I had my leathers and helmet. All's good.

 

[in4aride]

first bike + 1700cc=epic fail lol


so mason, the answer is NO, you dont need a litre bike

 

[BJL913]

Yup, I had my leathers and helmet. All's good.

glad to hear it!

.....doc says I fractured my foot, but I don't believe him lol, after the first little bit I could walk on it fine.

Yeah, what the hell does he know. He only went to school for 8 years and then had residency in a hospital for another 5+, what a moron. You should go kick a brick wall, that will show him.

I'm up and walking around and I'm not in very much pain, without painkillers. Doc said it was kind of hard to see on the x-ray.

[time2getdirty]

Hey Mason i can get you a good deal on wheelchairs hear at the old folks home

I'll give you 10 to 1 odds that he would crash his wheelchair in the first week too! Lol

Btw, glad to hear you are ok.

 

[.40CalPatriot]

Glad to hear you are OK!:cheers:

Bikes can be a dangerous toy. My cousin went down on I-70 years ago doing about 120.

 

[hurley842002]

The minute you lose respect for the bike, it WILL bite you in the a$%. With that said, I've broken the same foot 3 times, twice racing motocross and once dropping a 75lbs water valve on it. That foot now tells me when it's getting cold out. I went to the Dr. on the first broken foot, then tried to play tough guy on the second two, now I pay for it. I would highly recommend taking it easy, and doing as the Doc says.

Glad you are okay :thumbup:

 

[XCastleXJ]

yeah like hurley said, listen to the doc. especially if you're serious about trying to get into SF. you dont want to be at ANY disadvantage.

Those of us who ride have a saying when it comes to laying the bike down, "those that have and those that will". Welcome to the club.

True , but the difference is the people who learn their mistake and those who
keep learning them . Problem with the bike is , you don't get to many chances
to learn without , A , killing yourself or ,B, killing yourself ...

Mason , you picked a big bike for your first ride , those things aren't the most
nimble things in the parking lot , as you found out .
Go out and do some extreme start / stop tests so you can gauge the bikes ability on the road . This will better prepare you for the next 16 year old
supermodel wanna be with a suburban that tries to run you over .
