You can't even crash a motorcycle in Grand Theft Auto without taking damage. You got really lucky there.

If you crashed at 85+ mph, then your brain would come out. You never said you wore a helmet.

No kidding man ... I took my bike out for a short ride today & it wasn't running very well at all so I kept it "low & slow" plus I had my fingers on the clutch for the whole ride just in case! (was wearing my helmet & leathers as well)
Good to hear you came through ok, but next time ride a bit before cranking it open!

Glad your wearing leathers when you fell. Time to buy a bottle of Motrin and double the dosage for a day or so(unless you are allergic to this stuff). Great for muscle aches!

Last night, I saw a motorcycle rider drop his bike at about 10-15 mph riding parallel to the cable car tracks(here in San Francisco). I told my self that this person had to be a beginner and had to learn the hard way. Wet rubber tires and cold wet steel tracks are not the best for traction...

you get no sympathy from this donkey!

your bike wasn't running well and you were still stupid enough to wind it up to 85?
I bet you are the kind of rider that scoots between side by side cars on the freeway...or better yet, rides a wheelie on a busy street.
glad youre ok....and even more glad your bike is trashed.

From his perspective he stalled once (possibly just due to a cold engine, if it's anything like my bike), which would be easy to overlook. Remember, it stalled when he was shifting, which is the easiest time to stall a bike...you're applying zero throttle, and suddenly putting a load (and throttle) on the engine. No reason to think it would stall at high RPM, like at 85MPH.

1) why were you riding so fast?

2) was the horseshoe stuck up your ass before you went for a ride, or did you fall on it while rolling down the street?

lol. life experiences are fun.
