is that what they mean by your engine "flooding" ?

Pretty funny! I hope his riding skills are better than his judgement, or he'll be dead in a week.

LOL!

Why is it that I am dirt poor riding my SV650s and I get hit by someone else and struggle to buy a new bike when a$$holes like this guy go buy a $20K bike, do something stupid and go buy another one? Anyone see the logic behind that? Who tries to ride a bike (especially a Harlame Davidson) through a wash?! I lived in AZ...the washes there are no freakin joke.


Its a little ironic...

[finch20th]

the people who have $$$ don't care if the ruin somthing, when they can just buy a new one...

rich bastards!!

Ditto LayinLo and B-Wayne. My brother in law swears by Harley. Yes B-Wayne most of us have to fit a new bike in our budget. I know I'm fitting my Busa in mine so I most definitley will not ride it anywhere near mud not alone a mud hole.
PS: Great place for a Harley.

My bike doesn't go near a dirt road. When I come to one it's time to turn around.

Most driving instructors will tell you to learn to ride your street machine on dirt - you never know when you might hit dirty pavement, or when you may have to leave the paved surface to avoid an accident or hazard. Just look at what happened in LA recently ... some streets have had serous mudslides, and the road surface is covered in dirt. You should know how your machine reacts on soft surfaces, and how to keep it flying straight and level.

In one of my safety courses, we went onto a dirt path and practiced doing emergency stops with the rear wheel - it's kinda fun to have the bike fishtailing and realise that you still have is under control - like my instructor said "just relax and look straight ahead - your a$$ knows what to do to keep the bike straight"

Reminds me of a seat-puckering I received one fine Saturday morning. I was heading east (into the sun) on an unfamiliar road in Fayette county (it's called Salem road . . . some things you don't forget). I was probably making 60-70 I'd guess, when I suddenly sense that my wheels have encountered something really mushy . . . and it ain't letting up. A split second later, I pass under a tree and the shadow allows me about a 2/3rds of a second glance at what was going on. I was in what had to have been 3-4" of gravel. Nice.

I was still very green at the time, so to say I was scared would be an understatement. Remembering the very little that I know about traction and stuff, I let off the throttle and started gently applying the rear brake. Man, I'd bet it took me 1/4 mile to come to a stop. Then, I had to duck-walk the bike through a U-turn (it was a narrow country road) to turn around (not an easy feat).

As I'm ever-so-gently trying to ride out of this gravel pit . . . a punk in a Honda Civic, with (you guessed it) a piece of 24" corrogated pipe for a muffler comes flying by about 50 mph, tossing gravel, upsetting dust and @#$%.
