suburban vs hayabusa

[qarnaj]

Sorry to hear about your accident, and thanks for the reminder of how dangerous it is out there.  Hopefully you make enough in your settlement to buy 1,000 Busa's!    

  Hope you have a quick recovery!

Funny we were just pointing out to him how dangerous it is out there and he proves the point.  this is the same guy doing wheelies and stoppies on day 1 with the Busa right?  Experienced rider and all i think would always ride with an out in mind.  I mean if someone pulls out in front of me I will probably hit them but then again I don't claim to be able to do stoppies on a dime and ride wheelies on 800 lb bikes..  I have visions of when Clark Kent went looking for a phone booth to put his cape on and realized all the phone booths are stand-ups without doors.  You can almost hear him say DOOOOHHHHH, what do i do now.  

this may rub him the wrong way but I'd much rather tell him to take another pill, get some rest while I bash you a bit than posting messages about his death.  Wise up dude, share your story with other newbies and ride safer.

Dudewizzer...

Did you even read the post?  Have you ever had anyone turn left in front of you?  Have your ever been in a crash that wasn't your fault?

I'm guessing that you are under the impression that you can control your bike at all times regardless of what others do around you.  We should all be so lucky.

Think about this:  You're traveling down the street staying within your safety comfort zone.  You've got an "out" planned for every situation "YOU" see as a potential hazard.  Now, 30 feet in front of you, an oncoming vehicle, WITHOUT any signaling, turns directly across your path. WTF do you do?

You're going to get nailed and lay there wondering wtf just happened, because you never saw it coming, and when you did see it, it was too fuggin late.  NO, it was not your fault, but you're still in a world of pain and your bike is trashed.

Now, when you're able to get around, you manage to post a message to let everyone know about the crash.  Then, along comes some fuggin jerkoff bashing you because you ride aggressively...even though you weren't at that particular time.  This fugghead has judged you for your past actions, and not just tried to look at this incident alone.

Oh, now reverse all of this, and you'll see how you're treating a fellow rider when he's hurt.  Not that I agree with how he rode his Busa ride after he got it, but what does that have to do with his crash?  Not one fuggin thing!

Now go troll somewhere else

I did read the post and his other posts about his riding style on day one of ownership.  I realize anything can happen to anyone at anytime that's why you'll never read a post from me that allows you to come along later regardless of the circumstances and sy "I TOLD YOU SO".  I think a few months ago when myself and several other people have asked about owning the Busa as a first bike most people suggested against it because of the power.  However, most of the mishaps occur to people that have been riding for years and wren't under power situations.  You're scenario speaks of riding along in my "safety comfort zone", there's no such thing!  If your on 2 wheels you never get comfortable, when you do LOOK OUT! for that lady on the cell phone, drinkin coffee and tryin to slap her kids in the back seat.  I won't apologize for the fact that if you start your first posts about owning the Busa bragging about doing stunts that most poeple in that thread don't agree are possible and then you are in an accident expect a certain level of "I told you so".  I don't  nor does anyone else on this board wish bad circumstances on anyone, you can file this series of posts under Tough Love or choose to ignore it.  I am glad he is OK and I think if there is not a lesson learned and passed on then it's all in vain and more than likely will happen again if not to him then the next guy who starts his post with "Dude you shoulda seen the wheelie I pulled on the way home from the dealership, rolled up in front of my house hittin the stoppies!"  If you find releif by resorting to your name calling then go ahead I can live with it.

There can and should be a level of 'I told you so' if someone is doing stupid stuff and crashes. Lotus49 comes to mind as an example. If it's a case of the dreaded left hand turning moron as this one was, then you don't need to be rubbing it in. Maybe he could have predicted her stupidity, maybe he couldn't, but without being there we'll never know. If he wasn't riding foolishly, though, the only real lesson that can be learned is that other people are out to get you.

The point is, if you're in a single vehicle accident there is usually no escaping the blame. Once you throw another driver into the mix, sometimes there is absolutely nothing you can do. You can be the most careful rider in the world and still get creamed by somebody who does something incredibly stupid that you simply cannot react to in time. Unfortunately, in those situations its the biker who always pays the price.

I know I've been riding for many years and have developed a feel for when people are about to do stupid things in front of me. I've still almost been taken out more times than I can count and I'm sure most of us here can give endless close call stories.

Bonestock, I'm really sorry to hear about the crash. Hope you get better soon and can get back on two wheels again. Take that ##### for everything she's worth.
