the horrors of motorcycles

he it is my friends, what you see before you used to be a 2004 gsx-r 750 i got call from my friend asking to pick him up " bring the trailer" so being a good friend i did, when i came up on this poor motorcycle laying in the road i knew even though he had called me that he was dead! but this stupied idiot!! only owning this bike for three months, went out and wanted to pop some wheelies, im fine with that when you are a exprenced ride that knows what you are doing but, him on the other hand has never been on a bike and this dumbass went and bought a 750 sportbike, i could have beat that boys ass when i saw him!! how he walked away is, well freaken unbeileveble. so lets he some stories.

P.S oh he hit a tree, the tree won!!

 

Maybe it's not just the 1k's........

To quote Suzuki directly per the bulletin, " WHY IS SUZUKI CONDUCTING THIS RECALL?
Suzuki has received reports of cracking or breakage of the motorcycle frame in
extreme situations where unusually high stress is placed on the frame, such as collisions
involving the front wheel/fork assembly.
Suzuki has also received reports of cracking or breakage of the frame behind and below
steering neck when the motorcycle is subjected to repeated hard landings from hazardous
maneuvers such as extreme or extended wheelies or other stunts. Suzuki believes
type of driving activity is reckless - and illegal when performed on a public roadway -
not condone it. If the frame becomes broken during this type of extreme use, a crash
occur.
While ordinary operation of the motorcycle does not create a risk of cracking or breakage
the frame, Suzuki has decided voluntarily to conduct this Safety Recall to minimize
potential for frame cracking or breakage in the circumstances described above."

 

uh, wtf at least your buddy is still alive! Does this friend of yours have a nice car or a good stereo? See if you can get dibs on that before he gets his next bike.

 

nope hes a broke mofo, HEY he has is pride, oh wait never mind :thumbsup:

 

That sends a shiver down my spine looking at that frame. Convince him to get a VFR now.

 

ROTFLMAO !!!!!!!!!!!




oh, how much for the front end? ...

 

NCBs note looked like he might have a bad frame(regardless of the circumstances of the break) he may have some compensation coming.

 

When you got there did you say " Hey man, your frame's got a few cracks in it"

I'm just guessing but I bet Suzuki doesnt warranty tree damage

 

i told him what ncb said and, he is checking in on that,soo mybe hell get something out of this besides being called a dumbass for awhile.

 

He' lucky he's not in the running for a Darwin Award.....

 

Well I bet that had to be just a little scary for a new rider (I know it would be for me).....maybe next time he'll show a little more respect for the bike he rides and his skill level. That really would have sucked to lose a friend so needlessly, I'm glad to hear he was okay.

 

Minor Damage

Couple of tubes of J B weld ,it will be as good as new:thumbsup:

 

yea slick 50, might fix it?? :thumbsup:

 

some just need to learn the hard way.

 

well said! some people are just lookin to get hurt, in hiw case he just wanted to be cool and had to have a motorcycle! that being said im very glad hes not dead ive already lost one friend cause of a cagger, i dont want to go to another ones funeral, that shit sucks man!!

 

Ouch, thats got to suck...

 

I think you're going to have to have him take a shot of slick 50, 4 times a day, or untill I.Q. reaches minimum ride requirements.

Glad he's OK!!

 

Wow

I am at a loss for words. What a piss poor hunk of crap.I was a little pissy about gen 2 head sets not standining up to wheelies . Never had the bike snap in two.

 

maybe he can learn to ride his new "unicycle". can't wheelie those things.

 

was he wearing gear?
