    Relax relax. It's just a dude that wrecked a bike in a neighborhood. If y'all were peacocks you'dve thrown your back out trying to flash your feathers. Drink a beer and shoot your bow.

      If that's the way it came across I apologize, that wasn't my intent.

        Being someone who has bounced off a guard rail and leveled a road side reflector with my motorcycle and body I think the only thing going through my head would "thank God I didn't just do a header into one of those brick mailboxes at 60mph"!

        Worrying about how far my scooter rolled bounced and danced is way way down my list.

        But since that's not me sitting on the curb how far did it go?

          I hit a dog on my Goldwing and got pitched off. I layed in the ditch tangled up with the dog watching my bike go on down the road another quarter mile.

            Edit: I now see the dead Ninja way down the street.

              If that is the slide distance in the pic its more like 50 yards - count the houses

                Slide started 5-6 houses before mine and another two or three houses further up you can see where it first hit, and then bounced a few times

                  FWIW a Gixer1000 or a Busa will do almost 90mph in first gear if redlined. Acceleration on the rotch crockets is amazing once they get rolling. Pop 2nd at redline and it's gonna be at 110+mph in 1.5 seconds. He could easily have been doing over 70 which is about where they clutch dump to pull the front wheel up. These bike don't make huge torque and have to rely on engine speed and HP to get the front wheel up.

                        It depends on the friction coefficient of the pavement.
