Post on the 600RR fourms.


this sucks
Alright, i'm sure this was due to lack ef experience... but this still blows!

I just bought my first bike (03' RR) on the 3rd of this month. If you can remember when you 1st got yer bike, you always wanted to be on it. That's how I was feeling... until...

I was in Torrance, Ca cruisin w/ a friend when some jack ass in a new mustang punches it to get round me. When he inches in front of me on my left side he swerves in front of me cutting me off BAD. I freak out and slam on the brakes (DUMB, I KNOW). I end up goin down at 55mph, break my wrist in 5 places, stitches in my knee, and in my foot. Im immediately up on my feet watchin my bike slide 200 + ft. down the road on it's side w/ no frame sliders... Talk about heart broken. The mustang slows down, then takes off. What an *******! After the damage was said n done, i find out it's mostly cosmetics with a few small things (i.e. cracked stator cover, & tweaked handle bars). I have about another month till my wrist will be able to recover. Damn I wanted to go to the irvine meet...I only rode 4 4 days! ahhh! I wanna shoot myself. Later guys...


:nonono: :nonono:

arrogant Mustang drivers

Sounds to me more like an inexperienced Biker...

that very well may have been the case, he prob locked the front brake up but stil, he was cut off none the less. I was cut off today but some old gray hair women. I was turning into the center lane so I could take my left hand turn and at the last min she decides to swerve over as well. If I was 10 feet closer she would have plowed right into the side of me.

As much as this pains me to say I have to agree with Travis about "Biker Loyalty" excluding the Harley/Sportsbike crap. Thats along the same lines as Domestic vs Imports


So dan about that debunked theory of mine?

I never said stang owners dont wave to other stang owners. Im just saying that when its a Sportbike and a Sportbike passing eachother on the road its done 100% if the time. Does not matter what model or what yr. You could have a brand new stang owner passing a show winning fox Mustang and he could careless.
 
I don't wave to other people just because of what they drive. When I had a Jeep years ago, other Jeep owners would wave:shrug: . Like I give a crap you drive a jeep. Same thing when I had a bike.:shrug:
Just stupid crap. By the same token I don't flip off ricers.

i kind of needed to chime in for a second.............. bike dude........... you are confusing the hell out of me. maybe you hit your head in that crash. real stangers have respect for reals stangers, just like real bikers have respect for real bikers. just because we don't wave to every stang passing us, doesn't mean anything.

i've had a gsxr since i was 17 and if anything, bikers can be more of a dick sometimes. occasionaly harley guys are "too good" for a rice rocket, and other times other rice riders are pricks and just want to race you and show off. for my own experience, i ride with a deep group of guys that stretch from harleys to aprilla's to buells, and it's the idividual riders who are cool. same goes with stangers, you might have a moron smokin his tires everywhere, but the NEBOC is a great example of stangers hanging together. also mustang guys hate posers, so we tend to shy away from those a$$hats. sorry if you got a bad vibe.

by the way, i got a 1000RR now, so i'm your daddy bitch :)

You know another thing I noticed between Bikes and Stangs and another reason why Im glad I have a bike now.

There is no loyalty between Mustang owners. Yeah there is here on this thread but do you know how many times I would see other stangs on the roads, ones that had some sort of work done either exhaust or rims or what not and they would be cluless to another stang being around them, I would not get a wave or a rev or anything. Its almost like if someone saw another car that had better rims or meaner exhaust then their's then they snubed the other driver for it. I guarantee you 100% that ( and this goes for everyone here) that unless you get right beside another GT or Cobra at a light then more times then not they wont even aknowledge that they saw you.

Bikes on the other hand...... I have not ONCE!!! gone past another sportbike w/ out getting a wave, even non sportbikes will give you a wave or a head nod. Not every bike out there will aknowledge you ( non sportbikes) but every single sportbike I have seen since last aug has waved when we went past. The only time I have not done it back was once yesterday when I was in mid lean around a corner on the white bridges road, pretty sure it was a ducati but I did not want to take my eyes of the line I was trying to follow.

Point being....there is no loyalty between Mustang drivers anymore, just a select few, there are to many out there that "just own a Mustang".

I don't need a wave from every single Mustang owner out there, I know who my friends are. I do however tend to acknowledge other V8 stangs, but look the other way if it's "just a 6". Don't forget Travis, that we have all met some great people just because we are, or used to be, Mustang owners. If not for the 'stang, most of us on this board would never have become friends. I will be a Mustang owner for life, and more importantly, the car has introduced me to friends that I will have for life. Is there a lack of lotalty between Mustang owners?

Exactly my point Mike. I have a 600, if some guy goes by me in a Yamaha R1 ( 1000cc) he would not think twice or hesitate to wave, it happens all the time I see it every day. There is no "bigger engine" crying contest between sportbike owners. I'll aknowledge everything from a 250cc Ninja to all the top end 1000cc bikes and higher.

I agree Mike, I feel the same way as far as it introducing us to alot of other friends, there is no lack of loyalty between any of us when it comes to Mutangs, its just like what I said from the start that all of us here respect ALOT of other Mustangs and realize something thats had alot of time effort and money dumped into it, its just the other group on stang owners seem to snub the others if its not in there same era of stang or what not.
