It was an outstanding lesson in humility. It is much funnier in hindsight than it was at the time.

DetroitStyle said:Cracked up my TL1000R 2 days after I got it (car backed out in front of me, I swerved and hit a parked truck @ 2mph)... so I took all of the plastic off and the front fender. Didn't realize that the front fender kept the brake line off of the tire. Started down the driveway and the tire grabbed the line, stopped the tire, I did a most unplanned stoppie... smashed my nuts into the tank, back tire came down and the bike fell over. I'm just glad it happened there instead of 1 minute later at 45mph....
Had another time... rode my GSX-R 1000 to the gym... did a 90 minute leg workout, 10 sets of squats, 10 sets of presses, etc. Walked out to the bike, hopped on, stopped at the first light and put my leg out and it folded over like spaghetti. Then it took EVERYTHING I had to get it back up again. LOL.

A. That story is scary as hell not funny.
B. I'm gonna say it because I know some are thinking it. A scooter going 100mph. Come on this must be some kind of imaginary machine. BUT I believe you man. Im a scooterboy at heart and have a couple P ranges. Largest kitted was 210, but that got to a cruising 85 easy. It's crazy at speed with 10 inch wheels.
C. Lastly sorry about your ankle man.
