A broken collar bone is no reason not to ride, but it gives hokia a free pass not to get busted again

I'm inclined to believe him. He's not the kind of person that wouldn't take full responsibility for screwing up.

I've heard of calipers freezing on a car but never worried about it on the bike. Sounds like it could have been much worse.

I had a friend that launched a Busa by the "throttle getting stuck" (his story, fwiw

).
He was pulling out of a parking lot onto a street, the supposed throttle sticking happened, and he shot across the road, across a parking lot, and slammed into the side of a building.
If he did it to himself, that was some real dedication.

Yeah, this was years ago.
He was pretty busted up at the time, but he's fine now.
Rides a cruiser now, I think, if he's riding at all.

Wish him my best and let him know if he decides to part the busa I may need some of it.

tommymac · 06-30-2010, 08:12 AM

hope he heals up well, musta dinged the collarbone prety good if they want to go in for surgery.

Shane on a zx-10, hmm maybe you should disconnect a spark plug wire or 2 to make it a fair fight
