 Living in South Florida you learn to love straight and flat roads that never end. Unfortunately those roads we come to ride and love, more than often, are the ones that seem to get you in the most trouble. I learned my lesson the hard way on a night of riding, racing, and thoughtless judgment.

With New Year's only a little more than a week away, ringing in the New Year is on most people's minds. We know it's on all of the Speedfreak members! What will 2007 bring for us? What joys, sadness, challenges, laughter, and memories will be made in the upcoming months? And what better way to say goodbye to 2006 than to kick back with a few of your closest buddies and have a few cold ones while celebrating that last night of '06? |

WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS STORY. NOT FOR THE WEAK STOMACH!!!  On the morning of Sunday June 11th I decided to go on an early ride through the hills with a few other riders. Little did I know this would be the last time that I would be able to ride, or even walk again, for quite some time. We started the morning out with everyone gathering at the home of one of the riders. The topic of the morning was how hard it was to install the Five-Twenty kit on my 2001 CBR F4I the night before. This would be the first ride for me with the new chain and sprocket combo on my bike, which was geared 1 tooth smaller in the front to increase torque and acceleration. The ride went off without a problem, and we all ended up back at the house in which we started. After a few minutes of hanging out, my roommate and I decided to get on our bikes and head back towards our house, and this is where everything went wrong.

 A while back, the Speedfreak staff was cruising the internet, when we came upon a photograph. A pretty blonde girl in a topless photo. But wait…what’s more? The pretty girl is covered in road rash. Speedfreak went on the search to find out the story of this girl, how it happened, what’s rumors and what’s truth. With some searching of the internet, we were able to track down our girl, and Speedfreak had the chance to sit down and find out the true story of how a strong soul bounces back from near death. |

 When science meets urban legend and imperfect logic, some of the "facts" motorcyclists think they "know" about motorcycle safety, crashes, and riding turn out to be dangerous myths and misconceptions. From the February 2006 issue of Motorcycle Cruiser magazine. By Art Friedman.
Get a group of motorcyclists talking about crashes and safety, and you will almost certainly hear some of them-popular misconceptions, incorrect assumptions, urban legends, and intuitive explanations about motorcycle safety that turn out to be wrong when you actually check out the facts. The problem is that believing these misconceptions can increase your chances of being involved in an accident or getting hurt when you do crash. |
