I would've looked if it were not for the possibility of see that 1 ugly one. The closest I'll ever hope to come to actually seeing what I can't even bring myself to imagine (along with the risk that riders take on themselves, there's also the added reality that other's aren't aware, don't watch for, or 'see' them). I think it is ptsd or something, ever since a rider road up beside me and looking over at me. I smiled, nervously yes but that's how I always react to such approaches upon my person. But I suppose that gave him a lift because he cranked the throttle and went into a wheelie... and lost his bike which went spinning off in one direction while he flipped, head over heels, in the other. His head bounced off the pavement (fortunately with helmet in place) with his feet in airborne just as tall as if he'd been upright and, somehow, he landed on his feet and "walked off" the rest of the acrobatic feat. All along "Good Lord, please, help him!" was going through my mind. It was a very peculiar sight to me, as if he had a couple of gymnastic spotters assisting him in a somersault.

I have requested an admin to delete that shot. It is from 2006 and I have never posted it anywhere. I guess it's best that you don't look at it. I saw the crash from the infield. The rider lost traction in his rear tire and slid down wet grass with a steep downgrade into a tire and concrete barrier at 100 mph+. He had some severe injuries that took several months to recover from but had no lasting physical problems of which I am aware.
It is really strange that these racers are most interested in photos of their pwn crashes. Thanks to good safety equipment and track design on some tracks, serious injuries are not common - crashes yes but serious injuries no.
It is safer to ride a track at 150+mph than ride the streets at any speed. My son hit 187mph at Daytona in 2007 but nearly lost a leg riding the street at 20 mph because a drunk/high driver didn't see him. Street riders are often to inexperienced to handle the power of todays sport bikes.
Just a tip to close with, if you're driving and see a bike coming up super fast, just hold your line and let it go.

Sport bikes should come with helmet and leathers in the package. Me and the Mister's first date was a bike ride, with only a pair of shades for protection. During the ride, a couple of kids standing on the corner of a stop sign asked, "Wow! Is that your wife?!" and he didn't hesitate in answering, "Yes." 
But, he knew how to handle it, and I trusted him when he would say over his shoulder, "Hold on," at which cue I was take hold of the 'sissy bar' and we'd stand in a wheelie and then test the limit of its top end (but only in a straightaway with no chance of any other traffic emerging out of nowhere). We miraculously lived through those adventurous times, but it wasn't long after that our first son was on the way, and the bike was sold. I supposed it had served its purpose enough for him .

Indeed good advice, as it is my policy to hold tight in such situations. And I don't want to leave out mention a tip if anyone happens to be on the back of a bike going that fast as I was reminiscing of the past, and his trusting me to just 'lean with him.' Although, really, I wasn't actually doing any direct leaning, just 'holding the line' that he was blazing.

I rode the streets in Virginia and Florida for 25 years. Sad to say but the disrespect coming from cagers toward bikes was the reason I gave it up. Had a lot of close calls but thank the Lord He protected me.
I still kinda miss the top end speeds!

Thank you so much for going through such lengths for my viewing comfort!
The Mister used to ruminate on the first week of own his bike, when a woman ran into him at a stop sign. I'm not sure if he finally let it go or he just stopped recounting the story.
Indeed, the Lord kept us throughout our sojourn here and continues to do so.

This hit the nail on the head for me. Some idiot dropped a giant schnauzer poodle mix across from my house about 7 weeks ago.
I got a reception in my heart at first sight that he was supposed to be mine and I thank the Lord for him, Just the sight of him makes me smile which is some thing I really need in this season of life. He went from 23 pounds to about 41 pounds in just those few weeks
. I was given the name "Buddy" and he is. It is a joy just to look him straight in the eyes.

Just his sweet pic makes me smile, I can only imagine the joy he brings you.
