Here in Houston...on the way home from work today I passed what looked like a red/white R1/6 (split V-shaped headlights) laying on the ground in flames. Didn't see the rider anywhere around, just a cop. Was it anyone on this board?? Hope he/she is OK.
What a thing to do...watch your bike just burn up. :(

HEY now Squidman...!

Oh yeah - that was mine. I was following
the instructions I was given to do wheelies
(Pop clutch at 10 rpm in 1st gear)...
I was wondering where that thing went :D

I really should be working...
