Zoner1320

just saw a guy i used to hang out with in highschool here and there yesterday. talking to him for a minute and noticed hir right arm was half gone(not amputated) and asked what the hell happened. told me he came over a hill doing around 100 and a car pulled out in front of him and wrecked into a gaurdrail and trees.. spent 6 weeks in a coma, and another 6 in the hospital, and still needs more surgeries. was wearing a t shirt pants and helmet. made me think about all those times i dont wear a jacket. another guy lucky to be alive

Kinda goes with the whole t shirt shorts and flip flop thing

^^^He probably didn't have the strap fastened.

Which is the next question on my list... What is the sense of having a helmet on at 130mph and not strapping it. drunk or not is common sense really that compromised?

and still wondering how bike, rider and helmet parted ways at right angles. I think the helmet just bounced off to the side.

Well I am not exactly sure if it was exactly east of him. It could have bounced but still if you think about it the only thing that he hit was the road. yeah it could have bounced off the road during the slide. I know this equation never sounds good let alone looks good. Dude in one direction + helmet in another direction with a good distance between the two = Damn gonna feel that one.

Just out of CUriousity.....How often do you actually drink....and....Whats your weight?

I am only 180 and usually only have 3 beers. I wont ride after drinking and wont drive either.

so his helmet wasn't strapped on? yikes...must have been wasted

So last night I am on shift at the fire station. At 1am got a call for a motorcycle crash. I as always got that sick feeling when there is a crash with a motorcycle. When we got to the crash we found a guy laying in the middle of the road. He suprised us by being alive (which rarely happens). He comes out of his unconcious state and begins crying of pain. I asked him if he new how fast he was going? His response was last I looked was 130mph. Now I know this he was wearing a helmet cuz he was still alive. When the ambulance arrived we loaded him and they left.

I started to look for the helmet and more importantly his bike. I found his helmet about 100 yards east of where he was laying. His bike about a 1/4 mile south of where he was laying. The bike was a 2008 Gixer with temp tags about 2 weeks old. Later it was found that he just left the bar and had alot to drink. Does anyone tak e there bike to a bar and ride it drunk? Not me. won't even touch a beer bottle

I never get to see the good stuff like this

Don't feel bad I don't either. However it is probably more funnier listening to it than actually watching it. Some people just have a way with words

At least he is now converted sucessfully. He now is messing around with a Gixer

no prob man. i wasnt trying to give you shit i just thought i was confused

Oh I know I know nothing on the history of the 636

I guess he was a first time rocket rider. He originally had a 73 sportster so he was not use to shifting on the left side and clutching on the right. You can see where this story is heading. at about 55 he went to shift and what he thought was the clutch was indeed the front brake. I was not there to see it but i heard the story from his dad that did see it all. He suffered a broken arm and a dislocated shoulder. The dumb ass was not so dumb he had a bucket on. The bike did not get off so lucky I guess it continued cart wheeling down the street then came to a rest on a light pole.

This all could be true I just told him I would try to sell it for him. I will double check the info with him sorry for the wrong info

So a friend of mine bought an 07 636. On his way home from the dealership he managed to put 12 miles on it before it got totaled. He is looking to part ways with the motor and some other parts. The motor has been tested and it still in great shape. frame was cracked. Let me know if you need anymore details

Not bad for a $50 buy. any one wanna buy a bike?

UPDATE!!!

I changed the spark plugs back to their original plug (thanx cat) (went through Hell with yamaha because they wanted their money) it got a lil better. I pulled the carbs and took them to get cleaned. I put them back in and I thought that fixed it. Then i took some awsome advise (thanks max)on checking the boots. Sure enough there was a slight cunt hair crack on the inside. Now no worries. Starts on the firs crank everytime

Road last season. Fresh Gas. As far as the plugs I just pulled them and they were all mis matched. I now have no clue what even goes in there. Not sure what the right plugs are.

I just recently picked up a head ache. 1982 Yamaha Maxim 750. I have to use starting fluid to get it going, but when i do it will run like a raped ape. Compression is good fuel flow is awsome. Floats are not sticking. Whos Brain can I pick?

Sorry I refuse to comment that I have not yet wrecked due to the shitty luck that I have. I would comment but there is not a piece of wood big enough to knock on

Some ideas: You could kill it with a baseball bat and tell her it ran away-

Or you could "take it for a walk" on a frozen lake and have it accidentally fall in.

Very nice Ideas will take some thought

Okay my dog got his teeth in my gloves. I wanted to kill him but my wife won't let me. Hook me up with some ideas. Looking for padding and protection. Not really lookin for Gauntlet

So are you sayin this will pass

So is it just me or was going to that bike show then the last couple of days have being kinda nice causing hell for anyone else. This is seriously driving me freaking crazy. I gotta shake this before I fall way off the deep end

Welcome fellow smoke eater

How about some rep points instead!

It's all in good clean fun. I don't give a rats ass what anyone rides.

Same here. I am sure I will catch Hell but as long as you ride something God bless and god speed. I ride with anyone anything

<-------- awaiting a bitch slap for that one

If you notice HONDUH is turning into another GIXER Every SSQUID has one....LOL And did you notice the 2009 nine models have an optional bag or mulching features. 2010 they are going to add a self propelled model!!!!
