Asshat Kamikaze assasination attempts fail, twice!

That was a great frakking story!

I saw about 25 guys gassing up at a gas station yesterday, revving the snot out of their bikes, no bikes older than 2006 models, and wondered where they were going....

I do love the revvers. We had one of them when I was at STP, revving the shit out of his bike.

Congratulations on having an engine. You are wholly unlike all the other people here who apparently duckwalked their 400 pound bicycle up the hill. We are terribly impressed.

I would guess that at least one of them was getting ready for some off road woods and ditch exploration.

oh I saw those asshats at the top of 9 talking about how it was not a good time to leave since the cop was sitting there and would follow them. You are right about the sports bike not being older than 2006 but your forgot all the Icon gear and ego they had. I was laughing with my friend who was listening on the phone.

"You know that cop is sitting there writting up his report waiting for us"

It does not get any better then that.

I saw a black sportbike on the front side of 9 that looked like it slide for awhile. No rider was seen but his buddies were there.

When I was at Alice's I counted over 100 bikes which was cool but mabe me think that maybe I should hit the back side and take the 1 which seems like it was a good choice.

I did 280S from SF->92->35->front side of 9. Said hello to parents in Saratoga. Front side 9->backside 9->1->stage road->La Honda->35->92->280N and safe at home!

this accident was me but i don't consider myself a kamakazi. i've been riding for almost 10 years and this is my first accident on the street and it wasn't even my fault

Yeah, it takes only one kamikaze to cause a crash like that, plus one rider just minding his own business and staying on his own side of the DY. Sorry to hear you were the victim.
 
Great to have you "back" and vocal on here again Jason, it's been too long.

Fun read, sad to see you had such an eventful day in the hills, but glad you survived without contact due to your experience and chill speed.:thumbup

A small group I was with cruised up to Alices, ate, cruised 84, railed the shit outa Alpine, and went home.

Alpine was awesome!!! Exciting as usual with most cars centered in the road and/or passing bicycles oncoming totally on my side.:)
Comes with the territory, I expect it, prepare and go around scaring the shit out of them as they jerk their vehicle out of my lane.:party

Anyway, we are in the slow stuff, just chilling when some clueless fuck on a Harley or Harley-like vehicle with out of state, perhaps Oregon plates, decides it is a good time to completely lose control, which puts him in my lane aimed roughly at a spot midway between wife and myself. Figure I need to do something and get on the brakes to decrease the delta regardless and watch the rider, who cannot seem to decide if he wants to go right or left or what. Seeing that this fucker is both indecisive and completely out of control I just stop and let him decide if he is going to ram. Fortunately he runs out of speed before he runs out of road and disaster, a trip to the hospital for the rider, a new Miata for me and much trauma for the wife are averted. Wife remains freaked out, hammering home the lesson that trauma is often imposed on those involved in crashes who are not injured. Kamikaze #2 - swing and a miss.

Friend of mine came across the aftermath of an apparent DY incident on 9 near Four Corners around 4:15pm Sunday. The culprit was a Harley. The rider didn't make it.

Unless there were 2 at the same time (4:15pm yesterday) which I doubt!!!

There are these things called facts... I was there

Harley vs corvette on 35 not 9. I spoke to the EMT's on scene and they said all involved were OK!!! but they were going to airlift the rider out due to the mechanism of the injuries (head-on collision) and it was just safer. Maybe they were lying to me about extent of injuries but I know nobody died on scene I can promise you that.

Heres what appeared to have happened!

Corvette was heading North towards Alices. Harley was heading south towards 4 corners. corvette locked up brakes (as apparent from skid marks, Corvette locked up the tires, (I have no clue why he was braking so hard... My assumption here is he was going to pass a car and came to the realization that he wasn't going to make it before the harley and then DUH!!! braked to hard) lost control and crossed the double yellow hit the harley rider head on than flipped it upside down onto the shoulder.) Harley also locked up the rear tire (as apparent from his skid mark which came to an abrupt stop, probably right where/when the corvette hit him) It was very apparent where the collision took place and the Harley never left his lane until the corvette and him collided and then his bike ended up in the other lane (northbound).

From the looks of the Harley it was a direct head on collision as the forks were pretty much VERTICAL and pushed through the radiator. I know for a fact that the driver of the corvette and passenger were both ok as I got to watch them climb into the cab of the tow truck... It was upsetting watching them look over their car at the destruction that was, and I could only see it in their face..."my fucking car is totaled" wahhh.... what about the rider you just creamed?

I'm confused, doesn't 84 run east/west?

Yeah...I did a "wife-ride" down to Alice's yesterday, and we had a pleasant, dignified, ride down and back from SF.
However I did see a "thousand clowns" in the "Across From Alices" parking lot.
Some of the waddling and parking drama was fucking hilarious, with guys physically, verbally and mentally trying to negotiate the most important part of their Sunday Ride....

Parking At Across From Alices Parking Lot

There were some pretty nice bikes out though, so we ate breakfast then took in the scenery, and headed back to SF.

Glad to you didn't have any actual contact out there.
 
I suspect that the intersections of 9&35 and 84&35 are probably some of the most wadded places on the planet.

Where the hell is the "pumpkin patch"?

All I know is Old Santa Cruz, Summit, Bear Creek, Pagemill and other roads were quiet on Sunday. Had a little pucker moment seeing two (2!) CHP cruisers on Summit. Is that a highway now?

As always, primo BB rantage brings a smile to my face.
