This will take a bit o typin but I saw this and it really was funny. I, an employee and "Bebop" (a Rally Rider friend) were at a local pub a while back. My employee had been bragging to me about how I just had to see his friends new $35,000 custom Big Dog. And, it happened to be parked there backed into the curb. It was BTW a really nice looking bike (except for gay the handlebar tassels). The owner of the custom bike was coming out of the bar completely shnockered. Somebody (probably Bebop) had asked him ....."Hey....Is that a Kawasaki?" OMG! The guy went ballistic. He went of on a rant screaming obscenities along with repeating HELL NO it ain't no F-in Kawasaki over and over. Everybody including my employee was trying to get him not to ride it home (only a few blocks). Of course he would have nothing of it because he had to prove it weren't no GD, MF-in Kawasaki.
He fires it up with the throttle wide-ass open. Don't know why it didn't have a rev limiter because he was floating the valves. He dumps the clutch and the bike barely began to slowly move smoking the hell out of the rear tire. He did a nice slow fish tail to the right and I'm thinking...he aint gonna make it. Fish tailed waaaay to the left and he was handling it admirably but slowly gaining forward speed. I'm now thinkin..Man!...this guy can really ride!!!! Now the forward speed is increasing and he needed to negotiate himself and his bike into traffic. Just then in the next huge fish tail he realized he has to either let off or hit the curb on the opposite side of the street. Yep, you guessed it. That motorcycle chunked him every bit of 30 feet at an altitude about 8ft. The bike flipped and crashed, flipped to the other side and spun like a merry go round....not good. Parts everywhere. We all ran out into the street to help as he is getting up. He brushes himself off and we help him up with his scoot. When everything finally gets quiet Bebop in a calm serious voice asks "You sure that ain't no Kawasaki?"
Believe it or not, he got on it, fired it up and rode home before the Police came.
We picked up parts and pieces for a while the next morning.
