Death on Two Wheels

ilikebirds by ilikebirds · Aug 13, 2002 · 178 views · Journal

So I bought my new motorcyle and rode it for the first time. It's pretty sweet. However, it being my first time... I realized how dangerous it is. haha. So easily be killed. One little mistake going 50+ ... Foughettaboutit.

It looks all fun and smooth but doing it... different story. I guess it's just my first day out there. Riding is so much fun though... I seriuosly will not drive my truck ever again. You dont even pay attention to how far you're going because you'll be there in about 2 seconds. My ride to work this morning just flew by. I didn't even think about it. However in my truck it's just blah blah blah.


Anyway ... whoever wants a bike go for it... It's soo much fun ... But it's not all fun and games... Think twice about it . To tell you the truth... I might even sell this bike in a hurry.... maybe when APRIL rolls around...Hoping I dont die by then.. hahah.. neverrrrrrr

Side note.. i get major HELMET HAIR. It's ridiculous. I want my hair in afro spike mode all the time.. however the helmet is not 'fro friendly.

such a nice bike.... hurry get one... but think about it too... be very careful... while having fun... man just took it home to go to lunch.. i love it.. i wish i could full throttle it... stupid break in period. it's sooo long... 1000 miles.. my bike red lines at 14000r's i can't go pass 4000 for the first 500 miles... so basically when i go from first to second it's like right away. so frustrating... !!!

Yo! yellowman... you taking it to your meeting tonight? haha

I want to see it.

I sympathize with you about the helmet hair, it would be so hard for me to ride a bike anywhere that I would have to take my hat off, because I get serious helmet hair, not cool!

Maybe next spring or fall, I'll be riding with you

ilikebirds #5.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

that'd be sweet. but take the course... it helps out so much... and make sure you really want that bike and know the risks.. but it's all worth it when you're riding on a long stretch of road weaving back and forth...

So i kinda dropped my bike and cut up my leg last night. some stupid girl was driving on the wrong side of the road and i was making a sharp uturn like right turn onto that road.. and there she was like 5 feet away from me. i hit the brakes but forgot to pull in the clutch. I'LL never forget that again.

punkprincess #6.1 punkprincessOG 2001

oh man ty, be careful!!!

ilikebirds #6.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

me be careful ? it wasn't my fault.. stupid girl was on the wrong side of the road.. she drives up and is all apologetic.

thefunkyfresh #6.1.1.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

did your bike get jacked up?

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

no , it still looks amazingly sexy and sleek... it's just got some scratches on the rearview mirrors..i kinda caught the bike.. but 450 lbs going down.. sometign was going to hit.. and that was my mirror.

ilikebirds #7 ilikebirdsOG 2002

OH and some blubbering idiot pulls out like he didn't see me or something. STUPID CARS. I hate everyone that drives a car. LOOK out for the riders alright. geez

punkprincess #7.1 punkprincessOG 2001

THAI DECODER RING IN FULL EFFECT!!!!

reaf #7.2 reafOG 2002

in defense to all car drivers, it is harder to notice a tiny person on a bike then it is to notice a tiny person in a BIG SUV, so you gota kinda expect people to not see you! BUt still, not everypone pays attention when there driven anyways, kolton in a hummer, almost got us killed at least 3 times all in the same day.. so people def dont pay attention.. you have to be there eyes fer em sorta...but seriuosly seriously BE CAREFUL, I DUNO WHAT ID DO IF YOU GOT HURT

thefunkyfresh #7.2.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

alotta motorcycle drivers ride like morons, they weave in and out of traffic. it's like they're begging to be killed

reaf #7.2.1.1 reafOG 2002

thats so true

thatdarngirl #8 thatdarngirlOG 2002

What type of motor cycle is it? I've found myself learning more and more about them..or having to..since Ben got his and all. Yeah, I hate motor cycles
