I've made good use of my tertiary braking surface over the years. It used to be my fault, lack of observation or hotdogging. Nowadays its drivers and peds who Just Don't Look. Ah well, it was never a pretty face to start with

Got hit by the taxi on the one DCC ride, which is an accident that Jeff has a better idea of than I do, since he saw it and I don't really remember it. Also t-boned another biker on the bike path and have punched a few cabs in warning.

Wow! I can't fathom crashing and tumbling at 100mph! I live 3 miles from the Pocono Raceway and always hear the cars and motorcycles during the summer! My kids want to go down and watch sometime.

My old man t-boned an El Camino this summer (the Camino was making an illegal left, no signal, no slowing) at highway speeds. Somersaulted over the back and landed on his feet. Woulda been cooler if he could have stuck the landing, but such was not to be and he bounced and landed on his shoulder instead.

They are motorcycle organizations that practice at Pocono raceway and if you go like if you were going to watch a friend or family member, not that you have to lie or anything, the guy at the entrance of the tunnel turn just makes you sign a waiver and then you drive in) you go in for free. They normally practice on the north course which would be on your left side as you drive into the infield.

a lady decided to pull out of a stores parking lot as i am riding by on the street and she smashed my right foot into my crank. the impact made my bike fly up in the air but i somehow managed to keep my hands on the handlebars and brought the bike back down on its wheels. she just stared at me for a second and drove off...that was the closest i have ever come to slaughtering someone.
