    I'm in the running for lamest bike injury...

    Washed the front out on an old XL100 at 10mph, fell over and ended up ripping my ACL off the bone.

    Who can out lame that!

    Can’t begin to keep up with this thread.
    Been busy.
    Just ran up against a wall I call Millenial excuses to masturbate. Then had the woman at the office school me on how to think like a millenial jack@ss.
    The Apocalypse is theirs. They’re begging for it.

    I dont think i can, but my worst injury was after i hit some water in a right turn. Rear slid out, caught at the very extreme limits of its angle, flipped over the other way, nearly threw me off, then went back over to the right and slammed my right leg into what was a broken peg. Went about 2 inches in, (of course it hit right above the boot.) Some how kept it up right and then miraculously road to the ER. After stopping and finding out how bad it was.

    I don’t know about injuries. But at the Rally. They have some really cute stories about running into each other. Happens much more than you’d think.

    In the first half of 2019, he said 640 freight companies closed their doors. On average, these companies each had about 30 drivers, resulting in 20,075 trucks being pulled off the road.

    The Yamaha TZ250. This was a production race bike.
    Go into your dealer, slap down a couple grand and it was yours. This was the first racer I had, others followed, but you know how it is, you never forget your first.
