"To be old and wise, you first have to be young and stupid."
Couldnt have said it better myself.
Did he really need to be pulling tricks though? Was all that worth it? Tricks on street bikes prove nothing to me, except that yer dumb enough to try.... I've seen quite a few guys get hurt, and made up my mind to never get a street bike, (I know, its not THAT different from quads, but youre not dealing with the ingorant public on public roads) and to never try tricks.
I'll hear a bit of backlash about this I suppose.... But look at it from my perspective first before you judge..
Think of your best friend right now, really, a good friend, the one who jumps when u need him, and u'd do the same for him, no matter what.
Now picture him "this" close to death, with both legs broken, bruised ribs and kidneys, and an eyeball completely out of its socket, and a handlebar in its place.. in a coma for a week....
THEN, and only then, can you argue this point with me.
