Now seeing as how this is one of my favorite places to go lean the bike over if I really need a quick fix, I am pretty accustomed to how fast I can take that rotary on my bike, not sure at what speed, but gotta be less than 2/3 of 100 MPH, and prolly closer to 1/2 100MPH, especially given the pavement surface in places. So, being loud and obnoxious, a friend of mine said "oh yeah, lets see it!". Being that a quick look at his rear tires confirmed he had never seen more than 100MPH on anything even resembling a rotary, we were curious as to what stupidity we were about to witness. So we followed this punk to the rotary. It was late at night so the rotary was relatively empty, and this kid was approachin the rotary on his bran spandy new R1 at something close to 80 mph with no sign of braking (not entirely all out nuts given the stopping power of that bike, but not entirely sane either). At the last second he grabbed a big ol fistful of the front brakes, locking up the front end on the sandy entrance. Apparently having the piss scared out of him, he let go of the front brakes, bike goes into a hard wobble and the kid goes careening into the rotary... barely missing the center. By some stroke of moronic luck he managed to stabilize the bike and grandma it at 15 mph through the rest of the rotary and back to the beach.

When we got there, my buddy was laughing so hard tears were coming down his face when he took his helmet off, and this kid had LITERALLY pissed himself. And he still had the balls to say "Something was messed up with my bike, but I did it yesterday".... Yeah buddy, sure

I love all the people that claim they can do 200MPH on a bike, but that claim has become so common that I don't even include it...

Now THAT is funny!!!!!
