June 15, 200818 yr Been riding for over a year now without any problems. Today was the first time I laid it down and I was lucky. Nothing major, just a sweet cut on my elbow. Was on a really narrow back road that was really steep. Person in front of me stopped, I had to stop on gravel near the top. Finally was able to go forward briefly just long enough make it hurt when I laid it down. Luckily my friend was near by and was able to help me out. Hopefully this is my one and only incident, definitely would be ok with that.
June 15, 200818 yr I wiped out the other day riding to work. Nothing much worse than knowing you've lost control and you're about to bite it...
June 15, 200818 yr Author What kind of bike do you own SF??? Kawasaki Vulcan, my parents ride and they bought another one so we could ride too if we wanted. My mom used to ride it but no longer does, step brother did before he messed up his back. Now it's just mine. Would love to buy a Harley when I graduate college.
June 15, 200818 yr A friend fo mine has a Vulcan, and I borrowed it a few weeks ago for a funeral. It was a good riding little bike.

Mine isn't. :lol:

June 15, 200818 yr I love it for riding, not quite the style I'd prefer but it rides great, it's an 800. So was great for starting. Very true. I just picked up a 1983 1100 Goldwing that needs some tinkering. I can't help it, I love older bikes.
June 15, 200818 yr I have witnessed 2 motorcycle wrecks first hand. The first guy died and the other one was flown out on a life copter to UK, but survived with 80% of his skin burnt off from the road. All I can say is, don't do anything stupid on your bike and wear the proper gear. After witnessing those two wrecks, I almost can't look at a bike anymore. I have been scarred for life from those two wrecks.

I have been scarred for life from those two wrecks. I have witnessed my fair share of accidents as well, including one where I ltierally held the rider's intestines in for him.( he did survive). I can't seem to stay away from them, however.
