Ola! Home in 1 piece, But I have a story. Got off 93 and a new 350z was on me ass. He tried to play for a while then realized it was futile. Anyway, after stomping the Z I proceeded to run the bike up to triple digits. Approaching 9g in 6th I come flying up on, you guessed it, unmarked cruiser. Tried decelerating in time but no dice. Luckily he was taking the offramp as I went by at low triples. All I heard was the loud speaker muttling something. I don't think he wanted to chase because no lights came flashing. Amazing! I gotta watch my nightime speeds. Blasting a cop at 120 with the Muzzy screaming in darkness is not a good thing. But fun..............

DeathMetal checking in. No significant events to report.

sorry about that. how bad?

[Cheese]

OK..............This is what happened. Right at the intersection of 35b, 35c The throttle won't respond, shifter feels mushy, bike stalls, oh shit. I pull over to the side of 35b because I don't have enough momentum to make it through the exit.

Sittin on the side of the road for a few minutes, pitch black almost, thinking what to do, the bike won't 5-10 minutes later I get it working. Just enough to get me through 35c then it shut down again. Throttle is crapped, I ain't going anywhere.

Then the pushing began. not sure how far I pushed it, but it was from right before the exit before the plain st. exit, to the plain st. exit. I push it to the exit and meet my next dilemna. There is no breakdown type area. If I walk down the exit I might get plowed in the back.

So I wait 5-10 minutes tryin to flag someone down to drive behind me with hazards on while I push the bike down the exit. A car pulls over couple guys and girls, they drive behind me while I push tat sucker with all my strength. At this point i am over exerted no strength left, some pric comes down plain st. and cuts me off, had to grab brake hard, bikes tippin, I have no strength, boom.

After that the guys come out of the car to pick the bike up and push it to the gas station. I started to hyperventilate and puke. At least I got the helmet off first. I walk over to the gas station, thank the guys for the help, and call up my house. They drive down to pick me and the bike up at 11:15, I guess the whole thing was over an hour.

Damage: Rear brake lever bent, Scratched on cluth lever, and handlebar, a few other small ones in other various places. Throttle, something is wrong. I am soar, stubbed a few fingers strained a few muscles. My gear reeks of sweat.

Positives: Quite possibly my best workout ever. When I got home, my body fat had dropped 2 percent, mostly water probably.
I am anxious to ride again asap, and love riding more than ever. Hopefully me and my bro can fix the bike up tommorow.

Finally, gave me a bit of persepctive. standin next to the road, cars driving by me at 70 mph, MAY of been the closest o've been to death, one drunk driver and splat.

See ya'll next time

[Kham]

wow! that's bad. i would have park the bike right there and walk/run to the phone. glad you made it.

overheating problem?

FUCK!

I knew it! All the time I was thinking we should've taken a ride around that area again to make sure you're ok... That was my first instinct, but, given that most people I ride with tend to go their own way if we go by their route home or something, I put the thought out of my head.

Dude, I'm really sorry. I thought you might have gone home, or gone a different route, since you live in Lowell, I knew you wouldn't get lost, so I wasn't too concerned....

Well, I'm gonna learn from this one that if no one says they're heading home if we ride by their road or something, we're going back to look for 'em if they're not with us....

Damnit, I knew it too...

Talk about luck... but a lottery ticket will 'ya?!

Glad you're o.k. man!!

Damn Cheese, I'm really, REALLY, sorry man.... We also thought that we might have lost you when we all "punched it" and you decided to just head home.... I can't believe we made assumptions that you were ok versus making the assumption that something bad might have happened, which, is the more appropriate assumption to make in a situation as such....

Heh, I don't blame ya, I knew in all likelihood that's what you were thinking.

It's all cool. Whatever doesn't kill ya only makes you stronger.
I just need to get the bike running again. I don't know what the hell is wrong with it.

[Kham]

yea made the same assumption here. though you know your limit and didn't want to keep up. real sorry too.

[Jank]

Yup. I've found it's a good idea to let the others know when you are leaving the pack. Just a wave. That's all. B-bye. Ya know?

[oreo_n2]

wow chees man that sucks.
keep us up to date on what happens.

it was nice putting some faces to the new names.
Rye, nice ride.
Ugly-Squid-Joe... well. thats another story KAWI RIDER!

Kham, cheese... anyone else i missed... it was nice to meet you guys. gotta get some real riding in when i get MY bike back in working order. i dont know about chasing you guys at night though, since getting my eyes fixed last year, i get some weird halo's at night, makes it hard to see. thats what i get for having big *pupils* but chistina likes em so i cant complain too much.
