saw this a couple weeks ago

if he'd stayed in it, that could've been a pretty tame low side but i would imagine it's hard to tell your hand more gas when you're sliding out.

My best friend crashed like this in Memphis last month doing well over a hundred on the e-way. That lucky bastard only has a bruised shoulder and some slight road rash. He was wearing a t-shirt, jeans, skate shoes, and a helmet. No leathers. He is one lucky motherfucker! Could have been a lot worse.

LOL!

I am so serious, man. Everyone we know was like dude you should be severly hurt. He wasn't in a turn or anything like OP's post, but was going straight around 120mph and the back tire locked up which caused it to fish tail then threw him off. He said it was so surreal. He said he had so much adrenaline that after the crash he immediately stood up and picked his bike up caring it to the emergency lane. There was even a cop at the emergency room that was pissed. Not because of the crash, but because of how lightly injured my friend was. The cop told him he crashed his own bike going about 55mph breaking 4 ribs, puncturing a lung, and breaking collar bone all while wearing full leathers, helmet, and spine protector.
