So I have read about a couple drops this weekend. I unfortunately, have to include myself []. Had a great ride yesterday, noticed some bikes at a gas station and just knew they were going to follow us. Well we turned to go up a mountain road. We were cruising along at about 80 and of course here they come up behind us. They were the typical "let's go really fast on the straightaways and then not know how to take a turn". So, they passed us doing about 90 and then slowed us down[:@]. So we stopped at the top of the mountain for a little while. We got back on the bikes and got to the stopsign at the bottom. I noticed the bikes that passed us were at the bar acroos the street. Well, my bro-in-law takes off, or so I thought, And I slammed right into the back of him [:@]. Have to say, didn't let the bike hit the ground, but I felt like a BIG ***! I know they saw me out the window!! My husband did say that it was not my fault. He said that my b-i-l stalled and I was doing the right thing by looking the other way yo make sure I could pull out. Still pisses me off though AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! No scratches on me or the bike Thank God.

 

hey shon, i know how you feel. i've done the same thing. don't let it get to you. and as far as those water head guys are concerned. thats just it. just a bunch of water heads..... the best riders out there are the smart ones like you. so ride safe sista......[sm=smiley31.gif]

 

Glad it all sounds pretty minor. Pride heals much faster than skin and bones.

I never sweat the squids but feel sorry for them. Sooner or later there going to get burned. They do give us all a bad name though.

Take it easy and watch out for the idiots.

 

Glad to hear everything is okay - like notstock said pride will heal faster! I've noticed a heck of a lot more traffic out on the roads the last few days, since school is starting back up. Yay, more idiot drivers to watch out for!

Drive careful everyone!

 

Wow... I guess if you're going to have an "accident" the kind that don't involve dropping the bike or getting hurt is the best kind of accident there is!

Glad you're okay... Don't sweat the guys at the bar seeing it... You saw them do a lot worse in the twisties..

 

LOL, Thanks everyone. This is actually this is the 2nd time my Bro in law made me drop my bike. The first time was when we were coming to a stop sign on the bottom of a steep hill. He was behind me and went around to the outside of me and crowded me against a telephone pole [:@] so I fell against the pole b/c the ground was uneven and the big jerk didn't even get off his bike to help me lift mine up! And this was the day I picked it up from the dealer [:@][:@][][]

 

I'd stop riding with him... sounds pretty dangerous if you ask me.

 

Well, he rides a roadstar warrior so I don't think he realizes that my bike doesn't handle like a CAR!!! I actually have to do some work to ride it LOL

 

Well, I gotta agree with srobak on this and besides he doesn't even get off his bike to help you up.

Feed him some have rotten meat before your next ride and get your revenge. Don’t' forget to make it a ride to some where remote with no bathrooms or paper. LOL

 

LOL, thanks for the suggestion.... that's a good one![:-]
