Story Time! ME Looping Out Yesterday
August 5th 2008 a Tuesday evening, the wind was a factor all day as my R6 was bobbing up in down like a boat at sea. One after another the wheelies were flowing. After and hour of play time i decided to head home with my buddy following me it was time for one last stand up b4 my exit ramp. BLOW 3rd gear and were up....... hanging hangins okay great, wind bobbibg me a lil but i feel good..... 7/10ths of a mile goes by and i catch a gust that rocks me right back..... scrape....boooom and im skidding at 90mph on my forarms facedown in the highway, after coming to a hault i jumped right up ran to my bike in mt stocking feet because i threw my shoes off in a fit of joyand there i noticed my bike which regurgitated every ounce of oil out of the smashed oil case. but that was it.... my frame slider did its job and left minor rash on my plastic, i only broke my tail plastic from looping and all i ending up with was rashed forarm and toes and ankles. im lucking not bad for 90mph loop.....

oh yah and who says that?? point them my way.
And if you had any brake control, when the gust of wind threw u back, you could easily correct...instead of dying.
And I call BS on wrecking at 90mph no gear and only a little rash on your forearm. If you were sliding on your front, you would be a leaky radish.

Re: Story Time! ME Looping Out Yesterday
Notice how everytime a squid wrecks a highway wheelie, it was a "gust of wind"
Hope you aint too beat up! But don't blame it on the wind, after all you were the one wheeling in the wind

Re: Story Time! ME Looping Out Yesterday
this is proof enough that engine brake alone wont save you
yea everyone was killing off the peg tricks without a handbrake back in the day, but in third gear youre not gonna have enough engine brake to save you
