Ugh - I wish her well but I will not be watching that. This is just one of the reasons I prefer fast cars to motorcycles.

The video is not a crash and raw hamburger video. No blood or gore in it at all. A couple pics of some of her healed scars but that's it.

when I see stuff like this why would anyone want to ride? seriously? it isn't "that" good/fun/satisfying to ride a bike. It's just a matter of time before you, or someone else on the road, does something stupid. In my humble opinion, it is usually the biker despite all the 'start seeing motorcycle' stickers out there. The luckier ones end up like this woman, scared up for life. No thanks

This chick has more balls than you do. :biggrin:

She highsided on Palomar mountain a couple years ago. She takes it to the track now.

Yes, it is. You know that feeling you get when you are driving a fun road and you're in the groove and everything clicks? It is like that only 100x better on a bike. It is almost as fun as sex.

I'm living today thanks to proper gear :/ even with it a med flight and boston medical ICU i barely made it. No i cant tell you what happened no memory however i can say that the only remaining problems from the accident is tinnitus with some hearing loss and lateral weakness in my right ankle. 5 years or so later I'm surely glad i had it all on. :) I highly recommend it to anyone
