i don't know if any of you remember this, but a friend of mine posted on here selling a black/red 2003 R1. the guy that bought it rode a GSXR 750 (not sure which year) for awhile, but never rode twisty country roads. he started riding with us and got real fast real quick--mostly, i believe, by balls alone and not really skill.
he wrecked doing a wheelie just a few days ago and is now in the hospital with a broken ankle and was having surgery today. i wasn't there, but talking with the guys that were it was a really sick accident.
just thought i'd post and say WEAR YOUR GEAR!! if he had boots on and anything more than a helmet he might be completely fine.
i don't stunt, but if you do be careful. a simple wheelie cost him a lot of time, money, and a possible limp for the rest of his life. think about it...
