Videos of accidents might be a dime a dozen, but this one takes an unusual twist. As Andrew Gluvna, of Phoenix, rounds a corner during this F2 race, he can't avoid crashing into a rider who fell in front of him.

The hook here – literally – is that Gluvna's handlebar gets stuck under the helmet of the fallen rider. It's all over, from start to finish, in about one second.

"Are you OK," Gluvna asks.

"I'm good, I'm good," the victim says.

"Whoa! That was insane."

I had a Ninja ZX6R... bought it with some scratches and damage. Fixed the plastics, new mirrors, pegs, anything that showed damage. Sold it last spring.

I'd love to own another, but insurance was not at all affordable, mostly because I was 19 years old and it was a sportbike



I want to get another one soon. Hopefully I can get another deal on one this winter and fix it up a little and hopefully get a little more use out of the next one

^ Thanks `Justin for being the 1st to post + your wild/fast Ninja `bike...I envy U, but I'd kill myself 4-Sure `if I rode something that fast...I've never own one, but a few surfer friends have let me ride theirs...I love it 4-Sure...They were only 250's & one was a 800 Honda...I just can't go slow on one (LOL)...

What do you want to get ? Have U ever wrecked ? Got hurt ?
Do U always wear a Helmet ? Bike week just happend in Daytona & there were bikes running around everywhere & I always have the `bug 4-one 4-Sure...
Thanks 4 posting/sharing
Ride'em like you stole them ~>
Peace/Out



Yamaha WR250R Dual Sport

For the dual-sport option, something like the Yamaha would make a lot of sense. It snappy lol, light, durable and reliable. It’s very capable in the dirt and it’s street lega

I'd be happy to start with something like above 250 cc & if would be great to ride in the sand dudes & also in the woods to get to some super fresh water lakes/ponds 4 fish'in If my beachbum friends got bikes, we could be motor crosser's or wreckers (LOL) or be in the hospital saying that we shouldn't have tried that ~>

****Member's post a pic of your bike, or your Dream Bike(s)
Thanks ****

I'd like to get a 2004+ R1. I rode one a while back and decided that's about the only sportbike I'll ever buy to keep. If I get something smaller, like my Ninja, it would probably just be to fix up and sell. And yes, I've wrecked. I had a car pull out right in front of me when I was going about 20 mph (wasn't speeding for once lol). It was either, swerve into oncoming traffic, hit the car that pulled out in front of me, or swerve to the right. Swerving to the right and locking the brakes caused me to go down.. Worst part is that the person who pulled out in front of me just kept driving...

It took me a while to wear a helmet all the time. After I crashed once, it was enough for me. I currently ride my girlfriend's R6 to class if the weather is nice and I always wear one. I won't ride a motorcycle on the streets around here without one. I don't trust the others who "share" the roadway with me.

Nice bike 4-Sure.
`Justin, It' great that your g/f has a bike you can ride 4-Sure...
Thanks for your post & sharing your experience & dream
Have you checked 2 C how much the insurance would cost ?

My beachbum friends were talking the other day about bikes & how cool it would be to go on a road trip of the USA on bikes (WoW)...My g/f thinks we are insane, but it would be cool to do it, or have one loaded on a trailer or van to really explore all the beautiful area's of the USA riding, instead of being locked in a metal cage (auto)

Helmets required here in NY, i was practicing on my moms old bike so i could get my license but eventually i never bothered. I like motorcycles, but if i had a few thousand to buy a bike i'd probably run out and buy a car first

Thanks 4 your post & I hope U got a good reCharge
