I have had and still have a love afair with the Honda CBX 1100 straight 6 Cylinder. A guy that worked for me back in 79 bought a brand new one and let me ride it. Oh my God, I had to cut the ride short before I killed myself. That thing would do 70 mph in 1st gear! I am sure the Busa's and current line of other super bikes are similar. I am wise enough and old enough to be happy with my GoldWing now. lol

Flipped over backwards clicking into 3rd doing a standup.... Ouch..... I walked away with some rash. I went down somwhere arounnd 70-80mph

Now my buddy on a different day went down at about 20mph. He got on the brakes to hard and way to hard on the front as a person pulled out in front of him. The tail of the bike came around and crushed his head. 1 month in the hospital with multiple brain surgerys 1 months in lala land to wake up and a year of rehab I had my best friend back. And the driver of the car left the scene.. Luckily a roofer from 3 blocks away heard and seen the car leave. He saw my friend laying there and got my buddy a helicopter ride!!!

Needless to say I have no idea how I survived and my friend had such a bad deal...
