a friend of mine in burnaby killed himself on his bike last august.
we had just left the gym and i was stuck at the light southbound and saw him come up beside me ready to merge westbound he went to pull a wheelie out of the merge lane onto oncoming traffic and got it up and when it went to put it down he turned his wheel and when he came down it threw the bike into a spin and he didnt let go and he hit a light standard and split him and the bike in half.
i couldnt believe it. i immediatly ran from my car to him but he was in pieces everywhere. i was so upset. i had a plan of ordering an r6 same as his when i got back to calgary. and now it scares me everytime i think about guys stunting on there bikes.
it just goes to show even if your an experianced rider like he was, things can happen.
Sorry to hear that ....i dont think i trust myself enough to get a bike...dont have a clue in the world what i would be doing( no bike experience whatsoever), and i think i want to keep it that way.
