3 strikes is much more typical, or helmet hitting the ground once with a head in it.
But, but...why? That's a fail story in itself.

just remembered another one:
dude down the street started on a zx6r and a year later upgraded to a ZX10R without putting any wear on the outside 2" of the tire, when I asked him how he like the ZX10 he said : "its a great bike, I just need to put a 10" stretch on it to help settle the front end" couldn't help but chuckle

Whos he with? I wouldnt mind paying that, paying almost the same for a FZ6R because I couldnt get a decent quote on an R6.
Can lowered bikes be insured?
I've heard opinions that lowering a bike will void your insurance with at least some companies.
Pretty sure that they can be. Accelerated Technologies does custom lowering where there redo everything so it handles great
Reason is he is plagued with shortlegitis. As am I.

It's the age that could get you a better rate as you are "less stupid" than a 20/30 y/o rider.
Is he married? Kids? Another vehicle? Combined property insurance?
As I do all of the above, I pay $90.58mo for my RSV4 RR
Heeeey I've watched that show! What are you implying? *scoffs
Grow older, marry, get a few kids, do a cleanse, rain dance a few times a week, eat your veggies, don't do drugs, pray to Jeebus, then maybe.
Or just call my insurance guy, unbeatable rates
I've heard Wawanesa has good rates.

I've had scary moments starting out on a CBR125 like rev matching into first, dropping the clutch during a turn, stomped too much rear brake, grabbed too much front brake....all good times lol Can't imagine doing any of that on a SS, most likely end up on someones youtube fail compilation!
I did see a squid (t-shirt, shorts, jordans) on a gixxer the other day, he stalled on a left, then started back up, rev'd it and wobbled through the turn? like his throttle was all over the place....I'm surprised he didn't go down, it looked straight out of an Isle of Mann clip lol
RSV4 RR is a sexy bike, sexy price tag too....insurance wreckers can't afford that sexiness lol

All State. First broker he said it couldn't be done. He found another one from who wasn't a lazy ***, and said he would have to check with Head office, and he did , and he got the rate he was quoted.

Most of them end up off topic, or with noobs who just cant wait to give someone else advice, kinda sad because very few of the members that are qualified to give advice do.
i was kinda looking forward to reading some funny stories, i guess not.
What happened to the good old days?? Lets get Bibo back in here

Probably because the noobs now are better informed than the noobs in 'the good old days'. That and because super sports are no longer as desirable as they used to be.

noobs always think they are well informed when they are regurgitating information they just read an hour ago

I dont mind being called a noob, I dont take it as an insult, i've been riding for about 12 years, but just started riding dirt this year, also just started riding track last year so im still a noob when it comes to those 2, I also dont go giving people advice on track riding or dirt riding.
I dont know why noobs are so eager to start giving others advice, do you think you will get lots of respect? people will think you are a better rider? you think you figured out riding by watching youtube videos made by other noobs disguised at motovloggers? what you are doing half the time is misinforming other noobs
