This past Saturday I had an accident with a dirtbike.
I was over a buddy's house and he was showing me his new racing bike. It was a 490cc yamaha with performance parts, (exhaust, etc..) This bike is BAD-AZZ. If anyone knows what an R1 (streetbike) is then let me paint a picture... This thing hits 70mph in first fuggin gear. The R1's accelleration isn't even capable of doing this, at least without ruining your life.
So since I've ridden bikes/streetbikes all my life, I figured I'd go at it easy and be safe about it and have a good time this past sat. Riiiiight.... I rode that thing for about 10minutes, and decided to kick it up a notch. Friend and I were taking turns starting at teh bottom oof his driiveway and gaining as much speed as we could and then when we hit the grass we jumped it into more grass (off pavement).
Well, I started out in 1st, hit 55mph, was gonna shift about 50 ft. from the jump but decided "hell with it, I'll hit the power band, then shift"...OMFG...hit power band, the thing jolted back and popped wheely which I'm used to, but the POWER of the kick back was ridiculous, so instead of laying off the throttle, the jolt made the palm of my hand draw back and just totally GUNNED the throttle and the bike took the fvck off...flipped the bike, and I came off the back end skidding to a halt on my knees...OUCH!!!
It didn't even hurt much at all directly after it happened, but as soon as the swelling set in, I couldn't even budge my leg to save my life...went to ER for x-rays and everything came back negative...been on percocet since sat night and haven't gone to work once this week which sucks.
Trust me, the bigger they are the harder they fall couldn't more true. I'm still shocked that this "dirtbike" threw a 260lb person like a ragdoll, what's even more shocking? If it weren't for my legs being useless right now, I'd prolly be back on the bike first chance I got, lol.:blink:
FORTUNATELY for my friend, the only think messed up on his hell racer was his clutch handle which a picked another up for 20bucks the other day. Coulda been a lot worse i guess...
