[sean_V8_914]

rode my mountain bike for 2.5 hrs. got home hungry and tired. took off my helmet, leg and arm guards. Nothing to eat ASAP so I started some rice. Since it takes 30-40 min, I got back on my bike to play while the rice was cooking. went off a 10+ foot jump in front of 10 + kids from the hood. Did an endo and landed on the left side of my face. knocked me stupid (er). when I got up, I looked down at ythe road and saw the entire left side of my face was still embedded in teh pavement including the entire ear lobe. I looked at teh horrofied kids and said " see, wear a helmet" . with no available ice in teh freezer, I wrapped my ear and face pieces in a bag of frozen peas and drove to the hospital where they sewed it all back together. I only have 1/2 an ear on the left side.

You mean you don't have a copy of Need for Speed-Porsches Unleashed?

For shame Sean, for shame.

I was cleaning my fuel injectors. I had one of them under full fuel pressure pointing into a trash can and had opened it up with a small electrical charge from the battery. It was blowing a beautiful fog of fuel when I disconnected the battery, it sparked. The fuel ignited and the trash can funneled the flame cloud right at my face. I fortunately closed my eyes in time to prevent damage to them, but I lost large patches of skin from my nose and cheeks and I had shut my eyes so tightly that my crows feet were scorched into my face.

hehe... looks like most of us have blowed up real good at least once.

Back to bike accidents.. my family has these big aircraft hangers, just down the hill from where I grew up, and there are these long downhill cement ramps that lead off into gravel, we were taking speed runs out of the hangers, on 10 speeds, and you get to the bottom, and jump the ramp that the washout makes.. welp, that lasted about 3 runs, and I wake up tied in a knot around a bike frame, bloody, and peppered with gravel, with my friend screaming to people, "He's dead! He's dead!".. and my grandmother came down to pick me up, and says, "We aren't going to the hospital like this!"...

So there I am, a bloody, graveled 10 year old, in a tub of steaming hot, painful, soapy water with my dear grandmother scrubbing the gravel out with a brush, so I wouldn't be dirty at the emergency room..

Ouch.

Okay okay - I've got a few, but here's one.........
So my friends and I are riding dirtbikes in the Southern Tier (Allegheny New York), it's April, and we've been out all day in the rain and mud. We pull in as it's getting dark, and everyone runs into the cabin to have deep fried turkey and beer. Being the obsessive freak that I am, I figger I'll oil my chain before going in. In my haste and hunger, I grab the chain with my left hand, can o' WD 40 in the right, and give the chain a firm yank. Uh huh, the heavy mud spun the wheel the rest of the way around, jamming my pointer finger betwixt the chain and sharp, dirty sprocket. The blood spurted all over the bike, a truck, and a couple of my friends as I waved it frantically around in the air, yelling "AAAAAHHHHH OWWWWWWW AHHHHHHH" . I did a lot of fancy jumping too.
"Is it bleeding?" they asked.... "OH....."
I spent the next 4 hours in Olean General Hospital Emergency getting the tip sewed back on. Luckily I didn't hit the bone, but they had to yank off what was left of a jagged fingernail with a small pair of pliers.
Now, I've oiled chains about 900 gajillion times, and have NEVER done something that stupid - go figure!
A week later I'm on my mountain bike a block away from my house, and some dope in a rusty hatchback pulls in front of me without looking - of course, the gauzed up finger gets caught in the brake lever, and I hit the fender face first. He was drunk or high or something - "Dude, are you OK? Like, you came out of NOWHERE!" I was OK though and the bike was too, and on top of that he was REALLY freaked out, shaking and looking around. Bah, I got back on and went on my way, kinda laughing.

Is this thread starting to drift away?
I love my V Max!



(I like my porsche too)

[SGB]

That is a nice motorcycle. I know nothing about such- 'cept what I stumbled across in magazines or on TV. I thought I remembered that one from, like, my generation...It has like four, or six or whatever buncha over-head cams, right? That one is fairly old isn't it? Does it require as much TLC as a 914? Its probably good I never had one. I'm sure I would have crashed hard on one anyway.

[sean_V8_914]

[elwood-914]

I had an oil leak once in my 914, but I was mistaken!!

[Scooter311]

Hey Hargray2 - Go Yamaha!



Dual overhead cams, and revs to 12,000rpm

I landed on top of someone in practice when I first started racing. It was the biggest double on the track, and he slowed down after he landed instead of pinning it. I yelled "HOLY S**T" - he looked up/back at me and his eyes almost bulged out of his goggles. Someone else piled on too - it was a goon yard sale! We were all OK, but I had a killer charlie horse that changed colors for a week.

bikes handle good too!
It's not the fastest bike out there by any means, but it does have more horspower than a stock 914/6.
1/4 mi. time should be around 11 sec. <---I've never pinned the throttle for a full 1/4 mi.---so I don't know. I know 0-60 is well under 2.5 sec.

It's very fun, but it keeps me from working on my porsche.

[M. Hendrix]

Daniel, I am building guitars over in Bloomingdale, it's just that much closer to you, PM me sometime, and I'll come by and watch you lay that thing down..
