any bikers here?

[girlsboysthems]

any suicidal bikers here? i am waiting to be future roadkill, the future is bright! anyways, i want to end it by driving the bike into a tree or a rail with a unclipped helmet, but i love the bike too much.

I rode for decades every day, all kinds of weather, but haven't for nine years now.
My favorite bike was totaled twice in accidents (one head- on with a car moving at speed) but despite the cost and time I fixed it each time.

Totally agree... harming a good motorbike feels just...wrong!

I was thinking of buying an old garbage bike for a few hundred and crashing it not to destroy my lovely current bike.

What bike did you have?

I have a kawasaki z650 with ABS, I had a yamaha mt-07 but the seating didnt fit me. I love my kawasaki i can put my feet down and go backwards when i need ahhh.

I never heard of honda ruckus and now im looking at images and its cute as hell lol, a small city style bike.

oooo the ruckus is so nice i was gonna get one but got a honda dio instead! those honda scooters are funner than my gl500 sometimes ngl so you should definetly get one you can find them for really cheap sometimes

I have a kei truck, it gets up to 70mph and ive been thinking of crashing it into a tree. Not sure if death would be instant tho and that worries me

 

[KatalinaKrimson]

Ooh. I might have to get into motorcycles! It's great because it can be passed off as an accident too! (Would spare my family the pain of knowing I killed myself)

I want something that seems accidental so badly

The problem with wrecking is you don't know what you'll end up with. My head on accident was in traffic, both of us were doing about 35 mph so combined impact speed of 70. Witness accounts to police said I was thrown 10meters into the air and flew about 50 meters, landing on pavement. I was laid up for awhile, but it could have been a whole lot worse - paralysis doesn't sound appealing to me.

I started on a KZ 400 but upgraded to a KZ 1000 because I used to ride in mountains a lot when I went camping. I took that 1000 all sorts of dodgy places where street bikes weren't likely to go. That's the bike that was totaled twice.
Had a few after that. My last one was a BMW R85 Paris Dakar.

It was fearless!

The BMW R85 looks really good, a classic. I dont like the modern BMW GS, or i dont like the people that ride them ha ha.
Thats my fear too, becoming paralysed or losing limbs and not dying, in cases of crashes I'd much rather die than suffer. I dropped my bike on my foot and the foot peg squashed my big toe (nothing broken surprisingly, just a lot of trauma and the nail fell off) and almost after a year the toe is still not 100%.
How are you after the crash? Any leftover pain?

I'm with you on the classic bike looks! Give me the square frame any day.

Ouch on the toe - i had a non bike incident and lost my toenail too. That was gross!

No lingering problems from my head on wreck from years ago. I'm of Irish ancestry and stubborn / hard headed anyway, and after my graceful acrobatic mid-air cartwheel landed on my head (which wasn't hurt) ... but it was my back and lower body that suffered for weeks after.

Not recommend a do over in any event.
Took me months and lots of trips to boneyards to get my messed up bike on the road again. You should have seen the front forks...so sad.

I have a ruckus! its awesome! its so easy to learn to fix yourself even with no prior experience. I put a rack on mine and now i use it for deliveries.

Woah im surprised you got away with nothing but financial damage. I cant imagine this happening to my baby, I would be sooo mad!!

When I was in college, me and my friends all rode bikes. We used to go on trips. We used to go to different cities, get off our bikes, rent cheap places to stay , drink a lot.It was a blast.


I had my share of accidents and lasting injuries from bike riding. One time my bike's side stand pierced my foot. Just when it was healing, it pierced my foot again.That never healed properly, and now there's a scar there.

I'm older now and wiser.
So no more bike riding.
