Sunday I am out on my usual afternoon/evening Sunday ride to the Icehouse on Reed Rd. on the southside, the same street i got hit on three years ago on my ZX-9. This is a huge biker hangout at least 150-200 bikes.
Some cat on about a 2001 black and gray busa keeps riding up and down the street. He's got on jeans, mesh jacket, and helmet, with no gloves (remember this part). The street is two lanes on each side, however the Ichouse is always packed so cars ride through slow and linger around. Back to this rider, who looks like he is just itching to do something stupid. He make two or three passes down the strip slightly fast. My buddy nudges me and says that, he bets that that fool is about to pop a wheelie. I'm like not with this traffic. Sure enough we see him stand up a rip a clean azz wheelie ............
About a quarter mile in front of him an impala pulls out. In a rush puts it down, locks up both wheels and the real ride starts. He lays it over, he must have been doing 75-80. The bike flips and slides smacking the shid out of the impala, lifting the rear of it at least 4 feet in the air. He rolls/flips into the car next tearing away his visor and knocking the helmet off. One of the Two Brother pipes shot clean accross the street and maybe 100 yards down the side street.
He got up and then laid back down till the ambulance showed up. His limited gear saved his dumbazz, except for his hands. All of his knuckles were scraped to shid and bloody. The jacket was torn up pretty good.
The bike was totaled of course, oil pouring ot everywhere, and not one good piece of plastic left.
Before he could get loaded into the ambulance HPD (Houston Popos) needed his signature on his "Squid of the Week" certificate !! (Ticket for excessive speed, wreckless driving, etc)
Even though you may be wearing gear, if you pick your bike up on a street where cars are likely to pull out, you too can win "Squid of the Week", get a ticket, and get that ride in an ambulance you have been looking for !!
