Track day in New Hampshire... So far I've only been in the saddle 31 years. I have been down twice. Once was my fault for not avoiding a cager who ran a red light and tagged the rear tire. The second was when a dumb brown animal decided she needed a ride. Nothing like going along at 55 mph and having a 150 pound doe jump onto the pillion!
All I can say is that's one hell of a doe. It's hard to find a doe that big anywhere in the country. In fact, most whitetail bucks taken every year are less than that. Not that it really matters - a 100 pound doe is equally distressing at 50mph.
Yep...American bikes. All I need to know.
Found out last year how big a buzzard looks 3' from your head. 6' wingspan.. If we'd collided my guess would've been half ton. :)
Poser!
LOL... yeah, stuff does look a lot bigger when it's coming at you at a mile a minute. Had half a brick fall off an overpass once onto the hood of a car I was riding in once... looked like it was falling in slow motion, but the dang thing looked as big as my head. Would have killed me just as dead had we been about two feet farther down the road anyway...
sad thing was, it was my friend's car and we'd just finished painting it a couple weeks earlier. I did most of the shooting and I was pretty proud of it. The windshield held (as evidenced by the fact that I'm typing this) but there was a pretty good sized dent in the hood where it hit first. Just to keep it on-topic for this NG, it was a
1970-something Impala that I believe was his grandfather's car...nate
Seriously lucky indeed Nate. A few years ago a couple of kids in the area thought it would be funny to drop a cinder block off an overpass on I-81, onto a passing car. It went right through the windshield and killed the driver. Was a real shame. It's just too bad there is this kind of stupidity in the world. Glad your experience was less dramatic.
Pussy
I hope they caugh the kids and hung them from the bridge. Kids like that don't deserve a second chance.
Yeh tell that to guy with the girls bra hanging from his handlebars...I bet he feels like a real loser. Anyway who want to ride a bike that sits your ass up in the air while leaning on the gas tank? I hate being behind those bikes looking at some guys ass as if he is ready to be mounted. It just looks so gay...especially if he is wearing shorts shorts with flip flops.
Yeh those plastic japanese bikes are called throw away bikes...not worth fixing so you throw them away and buy another one.
That may be true in ride and quality but the fusion is still not much to look at, the milan has better accents and look a bit better.
How true, hitting a rabbit in a turn can kill you. ;)

My bought a $#it load of Jap bikes for myself and my two sons over the years because they were cheap. After giving them away so many times we switched to Harleys. In two or three years you could sell a Harley for nearly what it cost new. My sons and my one daughter all have Harleys today. ;)

As with woman, beauty is in the behind of the holder, or something like that ;0

You wouldn't know. You've never seen one.
Have a Suzuki with 60K+(2 minor repairs) and a Honda 30K+(maintenance only). Poser!
gay...especially
Wouldn't bother you if you weren't a gay poser. Can't believe anyone is dumb enough to believe a commercial.
Tell that to someone who's owned a Twin Cam that did a grenade impersonation.
