My 9R was sliding sideways before it regained traction in the rear and FLIP... there I go!

I witnessed one this summer.

Ill tell you all about it if interested, when I get home from work.

Mine was a combination of inexperience and shitty luck.

We were ridding in a series of hills and valleys. Crested a hill, and a few buddies were stopped in front of me in the valley. I never saw them until it was too late. Slammed on the breaks, locked up the rear, did my first and only stoppie, hit two riders, high sided.

I remember watching my bike rotate underneeth me as I flew through the air. Time went very slowly.

Tried to stand up before I was done slidding. That wasn't fun. When I was able to stand up, I ran over and picked up the bike.

60 seconds later, a car came flying down the road, cresting the blind hill. If me and my bike would have still been sliding 60 seconds earlier, we would have both been run over.

Came over the crest of a hill and saw a dump truck taking up both lanes of traffic while backing into a driveway. Rear wheel locked up, caught and flipped me off the bike. I landed behind the dump truck where it continued backing up... right over my left leg.

Once from locking the front brake up and trying to turn/swerve at the same time. Inexperience...totally my fault.

It was my first bike and I had only owned it 4 days and was following too close and the traffic in front of me came to a sudden stop. I was not wearing proper gear either and got road rash all the way up on both arms.

Nothing like tearing up your shiny new bike with 30-day TEMP TAGS !!

This was also before they had MSF courses.

I highsided on a gap run years ago as a result of hamfisted throttle input.

HokieDNA01 · 10-20-2009, 11:13 AM

a buddy of ours just highsided at the track this past weekend. He went about 15 feet in the air at ~90mph and landed on his feet. His legs are FUCKED. full of metal now and he won't be able to put ANY weight on them for 3months. Sucks.

I forgot about this.

This summer I had two idiots come blowing by me to get on the onramp. It pissed me off pretty good, so I decided to play get real close to their rear tire. It took all of about 2 seconds to catch up and realize they had absolutely no idea what they were doing.

Not only were they wearing shorts, tshirts and sneakers. They were sticking their ass out instead of their knee. I didn't want to be responsible for them riding over their head, so I backed right off. Settled in and let them go cutting through traffic.

I crest a hill a few kms down the highway, and I can see them setting up to take the offramp to a really nice twisty stretch of road that I'm heading to as well. I see the first guy go in with the second guy following close behind. It's a fairly tight offramp, but can easily be done in excess of 100kmh if you have the slightest bit of skill.

Then I see rear guys tail lights. Then I see his wheel slide and gain traction and pitch him off. The bike goes rolling into the grass and he goes flying through the air. By the time I get to him, he gets up. Puts his sneakers back on

and pitches the bike over onto it's other side.

At this point I tell him, "Man, you're not riding that thing anywhere...". The clip ons were fubared. And most of the fairing were off.

He was in a hurry to leave and was on a cell phone for somebody to come pick it up when I decided I didn't feel like getting splattered by somebody not paying attention in a car. Wished him luck and went on my way.

I highsided my fiddy last night. Pretty bad.

I flew through the air and the landed on the brake lever just above the knee and it ripped into my leathers and made impact just behind the knee. I got a couple of slices back there, but luckily it didn't impale me. The lever ended up breaking off into the leathers and people were wondering what I was doing until I pull the lever from out of my leathers.
