Reminds me of somethign my roommate told me once. He's been a bike tech for years and years...he told me that this one shop that he used to work at would ArmorAll the seat after they did jet kit installations. That way when the customer got on his newly jetted bike and gassed it, they would slide back on the seat...this was supposed to make them feel like the bike had that much more power and was literally trying to run out from under them. :P

Then they can take the bike right back and repair the damage from it taking off down the parking lot w/ the rider still on the ground on his arse !!
Thats too bad. Ignorance can affect all of us. Its too bad that he had to learn a 3500 dollar lessen but he is even luckier that he didnt hurt anyone. If i was there i would have probably helped him collect himself and his parts than smacked the shiate out of him for being a moron.
I would have loved to see that. Just to I can point and call him an idiot. Reminds me about this kid I bowl with, Matt (WildKat) and I call him SquidJaime. Biggest arsehole in the world. He does stupid shiot like that ALL the time. Not only is he gonna hurt or kill himself, but he is gonna KILL someone else. *Sighs*
I'd love to see the parking-lot security footage for that one.
I graduate from college in December... how to I get on santa's list for an R1?
I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death. - George Carlin
the r1 isnt Ment to lift the front end its ment to flick around a track at very high speeds, both wheels down.
Well with the power these things have it's not always easy or necessary to keep the wheel down. Ever see the AMA liter bike guys with the front up as they accelerate hard exiting a corner. It happens If you're riding one of these hard. They just have sooo much power. Now wheelies for the sake of wheelies is a different story. I hate to see these bikes destroyed by tards atempting to stunt. What a waste
