Got a lucky save yesterday while riding through Highland Valley Rd...takeing a tight left curve,luckily saw a truck coming so I slowed down, but right after the truck I saw the patch of sand right in my path :errf: , hit the sand and the whole bike whipped left and right, but managed to save her from going down by throwing out a leg. Ouch!! ****ed up my knee a little..but I'll live.
Unfortunetly three of my friends didn't have so much luck....
Wasn't there for either one but got to hear the stories.... Had some friends go on a group ride on sunday while I was stuck at an Easter lunch thing and the bad "gu-gu" started with one rider getting a flat on his GSXR 1000 (luckily it wasn't while he was riding), that got fixed, then another rider in the group dropped his new R1 tryin to do burn outs, (frame sliders saved it), and as if things were going wrong enough they still went out to the canyons and had another one of their riders in the group run off the road into a ditch! As far as I am told, he is okay and the bike has minor damage. The flat tire and dropped bike should of been clue enough that things just weren't goin to go right that day..ya know? :rolleyes:
Then...just this morning had a friend (who is just barely learning how to ride) high side in the neighborhood he was practicing in. He rolled up to a stop sign, romped the trottle, didn't grab the clutch in time and flew across the road into a parked car, high sided it, and totalled his bike. Everything from the front forks, the radiator, and front part of the frame got tweeked. Poor guy is limpin around with a sore body and a bruised ego.
And...on another subject, had a friend get thrown from a moving van he was in while going down the on-ramp to the 15, he got some serious damage to his head and shoulders and was layed up in the hospital for two days.
Lastley!...had another friend go in for surgury sunday afternoon after getting in a fight and bustin up his eye.....(this being only weeks after he broke his nose in a mosh pit at a Korn concert!)
Whew!!! Frickin eventful weekend for all my friends! Anybody else's weekend play out like mine? :guitar:
