Today i thought i would take a nice stroll down to Bald Hill to hang out for a while.....Came home through the Nasho twisties and ended up followong a Jappa most of the way and he was riding fairly calmly......Next minute right in front of me he shot off like a rocket and i could tell this was gunna be bad.....Up over the gutter he went out of control then across the road and hit a roundabout which launched him into the air like i couldnt believe......did some flipping and a little rap dancing till he came to a stop...Bike totalled but he seemed pretty sore and banged up......Was wearing the full leathers and gear which im sure helped....Freaked me right out it did..........I stopped of course and made sure he was ok........IT SUCKED bad............what was it?????   stuck throttle.............

those kill switches probably seem pretty hard to find when you are riding a bucking bronco

good to know he was ok, bet the leathers were full of shit but.

Once you th nk you're about to crash you usually panic and do - even if it takes 200 meters of the bike fighting to stop the crash for you to do it.

Saw my first one on a big ride day bloody near 15 years ago...there was about 40 of us and we were on it all day. Got upto one straight and i was top gear flat out on a 600 sports bike when a bloke on a BMW flew past me like i was standing still. All of a sudden over a slight rise the road tee'd off and he didn't quite make the turn and it was nasty. Ran over to the bloke and thinking he would be half dead and he got up took his helmet off and he was about 70 the tough old bastard. Shook me up a bit but just lucky he was wearing all his gear i think.

After you made sure that he was alright i hope that you told him to get a real bike with his insurance money(A Harley) next time.

Youch. Poor bugger.

Must be unnerving after seeing one of those in front of you.

Saw my First stack last year at the nomads poker run. To many bikers riding like nobs, one pulled out in front of the other forcing a bloke to slam on his brakes. His handle bars locked up and he went over the bike and smacked his head on the side guide of the freeway. Luckily he only injured his leg
