[moels]

What happened?

[swift steve]

left rons house, went to grab brake, didnt work and went right into jim R's car....flew up and landed on the ground 5ft to the right...

[Yooformula]

holy shit! glad you are ok.

[swift steve]

yeah, im ok, elbow and head hurt...elbow is about 75% of that tho, it definitely sucks not having health insur...time to have a fund raiser! ha, no since i fk'f myself and i should be the one to pay

[Flicktitty]

Damn man that sucks. i told you to be careful on them things. glad to hear your alright

[swift steve]

yeayea. definitely glad im smart and wear a helmet every mile while riding...jacket too is now garbage, arm is all ripped up

[Holeshot]

Damn Steve !!! Glad your alright

[GRAMPS SS]

Damn Steve !!! Glad your alright

x2......dammmm that must of left spots in yoiur shorts...glad your ok buddy....

[CobraSnake]

Sorry to hear that glad your ok.

[kornholio788]

Glad your ok man. My friend who is a great rider always says...
"It isn't a matter of if you will lay it down, more like when you will lay it down"

Gear FTW

[scaleracer]

Damn that sucks.. Glad your alright..

[Beagle]

Good thing you where wearing your gear. Good thing your alright.

[Heat Seeker WS6]

WOW Steve! Glad your OK and DID have the gear on!

[70 cutlass 442]

damn steve, now i feel bad that i loosedend up that banjo fitting. guess i shoulda told you

[Silver86]

damn... that sucks... the brakes didnt work?


good to see that youre alright! ive always wanted to get a bike... but i just feel safer on 4 wheels...

[Breecher_7]

Glad your ok. Gear is a lifesaver. Be safe....

[swift steve]

yeah, im definitely doing ok, just woke up, they had me on perkicet and flexirall last night with an ibuprofen. elbow is still a little stiff but knee seems to be ok right now, but then again i just woke up and im bed right now. the only thing im really upset about is how i damaged Jim's car that he just got but he will be contacting me today and my parents are going to help me out with it since i hadnt had insur on the bike because i was waiting for my agent to call me back with the quote on it.

like you all said though, gear FTW, the roof of the car definitely had some good dents in it that everyone is assuming is from my helmet, the 3 images i remember are i went to go for the brake and after it didnt stop i member seeing the hatch in my face, then the wheel and exhaust up in the air next to me and then i was on the ground with ron next to me asking me if i was awake and ok.... something i will never forget and i will thank myself for wearing my helmet religiously everytime im on a bike....definitely wont stop riding though but i do have to figure out how im going to pay for the car and hospital bill now.

[swift steve]

Damn Steve !!! Glad your alright

oh yeah, im ok, hopefully tomorrow ill be in enough shape to use that big ole drill piece you gave me and reassemble the car like i planned :-D

[awsomeears]

swift steve I think I saw you laying on the ground :stare just off of Howell there was a R6 down with possible you on the ground.

1st thing I said was " Good to see his Helmet is on "

[juicedimpss]

it was an r1

thats alot of bike for an advanced rider,let alone a beginner.


i think steve was actually luck to hit a car stopped,rather than shoot out into cross traffic. those cars on howell are going AT LEAST 50 past there. he could have esily been creamed by someone passing by.

[Cutlass Queen]

Wow, good to hear you are okay Steve

most definitely you are right about shooting into that traffic, would have been much worse. can you pm me jim's cell number ron? my parents want to talk to him about the car

[Cutlass Queen]

Just curious Steve but any idea as to why the brakes didnt work?

[H8RADE]

x a bunch.
This sounds more than a bit 'fishy' to me.
So... the brakes didn't work?
Either of them?
:rolleyes:

[swift steve]

i remember grabbing the brakes hard and the bike still wanting to go forward with gas, next thing i remember was the tire and exhaust in the air near me, and then i was on the ground with ron asking me if i was ok.

[udlose98]

sounds like the throttle was jammed open more so then the brakes not responding.

[lit666]

Glad your Ok Steve

[swift steve]

thanks lit. yeah i dont know what happened, ive been looking around for parts, appears to be about $1500 in parts damage....it wont be fixed anytime soon, maybe spring if im lucky.

[pOrk]

dont mean to piss in an open woun but it sounds like the bik wasnt mechanically fit to be ridden. I go over braks throttle chain and tire pressure before thinking about leaving he driveway

did you have insurance n the bike?

[Lash]

[pOrk]

Hah, that one was pretty bad. Thats what happens when I am on BCM while I should be working ( on my cell phone ).

Phew

[WickedSix]

BRC T-CLOCKS ftw :rolf

good to hear your alright......pain served ...lesson learned

[swift steve]

yeah, idk, its over and done with, it happened, idk why, guy is coming to scope out the bike for me and get a parts list together tomorrow....hoping and praying the shocks are ok, but i doubt they are.
