now that you've made an incredibly incriminating statement, Id say she should be suing you. That was some very bad judgment on your behalf.

Yeah bro, and the way he totally almost killed that girl took huge balls. C'mon Jeff, you've been on this forum a long time. Are you honestly just going snidely pass off this guys attitude?


Also Rel, you should be putting a call into your buddies at SF PD to watch out for this asshole instead of worrying about suspending people.

Ok...I guess that's not all I'll say.
I see a two sided coin here. On one hand, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for riding like an ass when 2up.....EVER! So no, he doesn't get a free pass from me.
That said, and if his story is true, if this thread prevents only one rider from riding squidly with another life behind him/her (almost always guys) then the self inflicted abuse the o.p has brought on himself has at least some overall value.
I have a 19 year old son that rides. Motorcycling is an incredibly selfish sport/activity. I didn't understand that until I became a parent. I really had no idea what I was putting my loved ones through until he started riding. The fact that I was riding motorcycles at his young age only fuels my concerns as I am left with the empty parental statement : "Do as I say, not as I did." For me to take an absolute position on ALL irresponsible riding would only be pure hypocracy from me and I am aware of that.

Keith Code said something a while back that really hit me as spot-on.
"We begin with an empty bucket of expierience and a full bucket of luck.
The hope is that we can fill our bucket of expierience before our bucket of luck is empty."

Powerful words.
Over time, most of us *get it*. Some of us never do. Those are the ones we lose.

Hey, you know what OP?... Were all human... We all make mistakes... many times, it involves a female, but its the learning that counts right?
Thanks for the eye opener to your situation, and your massive brassers to post about it.
Fuggedabout what all the negative folks said.

Lets hope you can restore your relationship with the lady...

side note... Cutest little puppy EVER!

Doing something stupid and risking your own life is your own choice. Doing something stupid and risking others lives is not. If you die you simply win the local Darwin award and the world is free of your genes for eternity.

It's seriously time for you to grow up don't you think? As Jeff said above; it's time you get it.

Well said. And what many people don't realize is that bucket of luck is usually very, very small.
 
A friend of mine had a couple of drinks and then ran into the back of a moving truck while doing 130 mph on hwy 87 at 2am. Fortunately he only had minor road rash and a seriously broken wrist. After 30 days in jail, he learned from it, and stopped riding, partially because of his dumb decision and partially due to the damage to his wrist. I also have heard of stupid female passengers who like pulling wheelies. The question here is do you learn from it stop pulling that crap with passengers. :|

Oh don't get me wrong. I don't agree with stupidity on a bike for any reason. It's just if they do it solo then usually it's just them that get hurt or die. Lesson learned ether way.

What is everyone's problem? This is evolution by natural selection at work. If Oppie liquors up a chick and does wheelies, he gets to inseminate her and make little stunting Oppies. If she falls off and dies, nobody gets any and the stunting gene dies out.

Whether you like it or not, you can't fight Darwin.
 
okay, hammering on this guy is kind of pointless..obviously, he knows he did some dumbshit and fesses up to it; didn't blame anyone but himself so I give him props with that..hell of a way to learn a lesson, though..you couldn't fit more "things not to do while on a bike" if you tried..sheesh.. I take it she wasn't wearing gloves? I don't get that..I see so many young guys wearing everything but gloves..I always ask them "who is going to wipe your ass for you when your hand get turned into hamburger?' makes them think..lol.. anyhoo, hopefully lesson learned for both of you...glad that the extent of her injuries were more uncomfortable than life altering...
