    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yep - unexpectedly Airborne. I'll have to hand it to Chicago Streets and Sans for putting a ramp right in the middle of the road without any flashing lights, signs, cones or horses - Job well done.
I was going about 45mph on a poorly lit stretch of Sacramento when instinct took over. Certainly no time to stop when I saw the gravel mound from curb to curb materialize out of the darkness - Just stay off the brakes, stand up on the pegs and hit it. Now I couldn't have jumped a shark or anything, but maybe a medium sized dog. Still... - Whoa!
My header has some gravel scratches on it; but nothing too dinged up.
 
With the condition of the roadways around my area, it makes you think if you should even be out there riding.

Every time I ride I have several outbursts " f***, ouch, sh** that hurt, you f****** s*** and so on.....

You can only assume that the people in charge of keeping our roads in shape don't take motorcyclists into considersation.
 
i know the feeling about an hour ago on my way to work took an 8 inch bump on uphill in the middle of highway with really bad rear shocks it makes a scary noise when centerstand smacks the frame on the rebound. but like you said stand up and hold on.

Stand on the pegs - that's had o do on an L. Congrats on pulling it off, and when do we get to see the video?

No video - Anyway, I'd be afraid of what it'd reveal. In my head- 50 yds....

I have daytona bars, so getting up on the pegs wasn't quite the feat it would have been with the stock pull backs.

Around here the rain has ruined alot of the roads. Riding in to work yesterday I had to swerve around a foot long, 6 inch deep hole in the road. At least the road crews were nice enough to paint an orange circle around it until they can patch it.
 
Need to change your name to Tom R Knievel. Think I would have had to push my bike home after that one.
 
Nice job sticking it. This could have very well went under a crash story if you hadn't been paying attention.. Roads are just as bad here. The off ramp i take on a daily basis has a nice concrete ramp in the middle. My first time taking it on a bike, ramped it...talk about an adrenaline rush. unexpected pucker moments get it going. woooooot
