Craziest thing you ever did on a bike
I have been riding since I was 10 years old. When I was about 14, I rode with a bunch of guys that prided themselves on doing really stupid things on motorcycles. These guys would try to hill climb on honda 750's and LTD 1000's. We did some really dumb stuff but it was fun.
We pulled over by a river one afternoon to smoke and noticed a large pipe that bridged the river. It was about 60 feet over the water and had a diameter of about 6 feet and was about 300 feet long crossing the river.
Well, in all of our teenage wisdom we started daring each other to ride across the pipe. As I was feeling extra cocky that day, I took the dare.
I made it across but it was scary as hell and once I got across i was telling myself never again, only problem was that there was no way out from the other end so I had to ride back across that pipe. I was really carefull of taking dares after that. I actually had bad dreams after that of falling off of that pipe on my bike. It doesnt sound so scary but I beleive it is the craziest thing I have ever done on a bike.
What's the craziest thing you have done on a bike?

RE: Craziest thing you ever did on a bike
wow, sro. good answer[8D]
honestly, a stupid decision... but i dicided to run from the popo.[sm=bangbang.gif]
i was on the derry trails and i was HAULING because there was literally noone (other than sargent tinneal) on the trails. i was just out fu*king around and i take a small turn and who's sitting there on his big dumb grizzly 660??? the police!! horay! ive already gotten a bit of trouble on my bike and one more infraction my lisence gets suspended for 6months.(pretty bad considering i dont get it until the 14th). so i puled a fast one and gunned it. i had my poor kx overreving in 6th and had no idea where the cop was, i didnt care. i just wanted outta there. then, 121 came up, and theres a tunnel going under it. (if you go to that map kohburn made, right down the street from my blip, hampstead rd. and 121 intersect, its just south of that intersection). i went up the imbankment and shot upp hampstead rd. i turned into my neighborhood and hid my bike in my woods. that was not only the craziest thing ive done on a bike, but prob one of the top 5 craziest things ive done in life period.

I've jumped pretty high but getting nearly knocked off your bike into someone elses at 40 mph is crazy... Crazy Fun[sm=badbadbad.gif][sm=alcoholic.gif]

RE: Craziest thing you ever did on a bike
i've done a few crazy thigns on a bike.. sustained interstate riding for 20 miles at 160mph was one of em....
and maybe some highchair wheelies.
"skitchin" it 80mph on the interstate was fun, too.
no more street stuntin tho.. it cost too much.

Took 4-5 times to clear 100ft. Pinned 4th gear wide open and hoped for the best. Now it's just a blast to play on.
