Random Stories on a Motorcycle ep.1 - Why I Took a 30 Year Break From Motorcycles

A harrowing tale of excitement and intrigue from my youth.
Sorry about the windy audio.

Great story. I was a teenager once. I cant believe i lived through it. Im 76 now.

Glad we all made it out of that phase alive 🙂

I know a guy who woke up on a motorcycle one time. What woke him up was the engine revving out of control,,,, because he was airborne. He went off the road, through the ditch, went airborne over a barbed wire fence, and finally slid on his side to a stop, in a cow pasture. No major damage to him or his bike, (it had just rained heavily, probably saved his bacon). He got his bike up, dusts himself off, then has to ride around the cow pasture in the middle of the night to find a gate to let himself out. True Story, # Lucky to be alive.

Great story.. I dozed off twice on 99. Once on a 1969 Bonnie and once on a 1971 BMW. Both times, I think I awoke after a few seconds and stayed awake for like a month. Terrifying. The worst one was on the road from the Bonnie Salt Flats. I was riding behind a guy on a separate bike. He fell asleep and missed one of the hard 90 degree corners on the small road between the Flats and Hwy 80. He did not fair well. Note to self...........do not do that!!! Your audio is fine Tyler. Good rambling.

[@HighDesertHills]

Glad you survived both of those! Sorry your friend didn’t have as good of luck as both of us did.

That's a rough story there sounds like compounded bad decisions and a lot of luck both bad and good but dang one heck of a story none the less

[@HighDesertHills]

Yeah, compounded bad decisions was pretty much the story of my youth 😂

[@mxwizzard]

@@HighDesertHills 😆 I think that sums up most of our generations youth

A Shadow 500 will go 100MPH?

[@HighDesertHills]

That one did. Of course, back then I weighted like 125 lbs. It might struggle a bit more with my current size.

With the the overdrive gear, Yes. But you have to wait awhile.
