In the middle of nowhere ... a 90+ mile per hour left hand sweeper and the front started chattering something awful. Almost didn't make that one.

Blue hair pulled out in front of me. I was just on my way for a quick ride and I was doing 50mph and she proceded to mark a left turn in front of me and my right shin glanced off her rear bumper. She didn't even know I had hit her. I was not hurt. I believe had I been on anything other than my Hyper S I would have smacked her in the rear fender.

I had my front end tuck about 8 inches when it hit a strip of black ice in a turn at about 45mph. There was some serious puckering going on.

Bringing home a new hyper and facing the wife after writing off the previous one.

Nearly being ran over by a tractor trailer when the darn thing kept stalling the moment I pulled in the clutch. Left a long skidmark on the road and a longer skidmark in my shorts!

I've lost the front a few times on ice but my closest "near miss" was when a cager pulled a right in front of me, my front locked up and stepped out, I dabbed my foot out of reflex and ended hitting the side of my knee on the frame as my foot/leg bounced back off the road..

Followed by the uggliest death wobble i've ever had and I managed to keep it up.

Day 2

Over a week later

I was test riding a hyper-S on a 1 1/2 lane back road, and slightly braking before a sharp curve, hit a small rough patch which caused me to over-brake due to the over-sensitive brakes, front end dove, bike went into a tank-slapper. I rode it out, but thought I was going to lose it. Luckily the truck coming the otherway stopped before the curve.

Scariest moment on the Hyper? None.
This bike takes it like a good ol' 200kg poor excuse for a motard should...

That slight 'skipping out of the rear' in the vid', if that's what we were looking for...?, no doubt made you sh*t your pants for a split second there 'c', but that's all it was... 'a moment'.
It happens all the time when your riding.

Other than that...
It's always easier to follow, than to lead.

Thanks for sharing though, really enjoyed the vid' mate.
