My mate fell yesterday...

Me and a friend were going around on our 50s when we heard an ambulance siren. My friend has a bike unworthy of even looking at. The state of it is hazardous. It's a typhoon with around 80000km, and nothing works. Suddenly he found himself very close to the ambulance, and slammed both brakes doing about 40-45 mph. He is a good driver, but this bike is uncontrollable, and he just fell over and went skidding. I was about 20m behind him, and I slammed both my bakes, the back one a little too hard. I started skidding at the steepest angle I've ever experienced, and I'm lucky I didn't release the back brake cause I would have tumbled. I stopped in the middle of the road and went over to my friend. He only had a minor scratch (3x3cm) on his rib. He was't wearing gloves or any protection, just a shitty helmet. He is lucky he didn't get seriously hurt. The ambulance sort of just stopped next to him and asked if he wanted a ride
This is typical of him, cause he drives like a twat. Lots of control, but he takes huge risks. It's the third times he comes off his bike (in about a year and a half) and he still hasn't learnt his lesson. I guess he'll learn when he's in a wheelchair...

First time - He had was on a mountain road and a car got way too close so he had to swirve and just got close enough to the ditch (which he couldn't see properly because it was at night) to actually fall into it.

Second time - In a blind corner he found himself at an angle with some oil...

Thir time is this one.

He is like really good at filtering and stuff, but he is a shit driver in the responsible sense. He is just too immature I'd say. I'm getting the rs 125, and I know he's gonna be up ahead of me in the city anyway, cause I take it easy.

If I were you I would steer well clear of him. He sounds dangerous to say the least.

Go to Spain and find me a ped rider who isn't dangerous

Hope hes ok!

[5v3d3b0]

Yeah it's true...Here in Barcelona almost everyone has a ped...Women and men, 14 years old and upwards until death.
I am one of the "sensible" ones. I've seen at least 10 people crying over their broken legs when they've been knocked over or sandwiched...People don't look...

[Finglonga]

Sounds like a Nob, I would steer clear of him before he takes you down with him.

He almost did, and I would have been pretty pissed off considering my bike is up for sale...

Yep, sounds like a liability to me.
There is no such thing as an accident, they are avoidable.

There is no such thing as an accident, they are avoidable.

Not in the real world. The only way to avoid accidents is to lock yourself up 'final destination' style.

Accidents ARE always avoidable to a certain extent. If you stay clear of a car, and it brakes, nothing happens, but when you're so close you can smell the driver's farts, you WILL have an accidents if he slams the brakes. Easily avoidable. I always try to keep a sensible distance, at the very least one that will let me crash softly and not fly over the car...I should keep the super safe one, but how many people really do anyway? At least I'll live

Good on your mate, I think he had some good moments there Its always the close ones which are worth remembering
