Oh snap!, I should read this section more often. Hope you’re getting up and about Vlad! Don’t know how you guys do it. I’ll wail down any course at extreme speeds wrapped in a shell and rollcage, but get an uneasy feeling out on top of only two wheels and 90+hp. The fear of Hi-siding and going down keeps me off bikes. Get better soon man!!! ---

High-siding isn’t as common as it seems but any fall is very dangerous on the bike and the least you can do is wear as much gear as possible to cover yourself. You just have to acknowledge and accept the risks every time you come out. > [@Allstar Graphics](#): > > post some pics of the 6dirty6 when u get bored vlad, gotta send some to jon, Glad your ok though seriously I’ll get some pics when I can walk around fine again without crutches and pain. Thank you all for the kind words. It looks like I’ll be more or less fine within a few weeks, physically at least, we can all only hope for mental :lol ---

> [@Swifty](#): > > this would have never happened if you had a 250. Nope it wouldn’t have, I wouldn’t be able to get upto those speeds on the 250, and crash in a turn I took a few hundred times before. Miles on the SV = 25,000 in a few years. Miles on the 636 = 600 in a month. ---

> [@Swifty](#): > > 250’s go 90mph dont they? you crashed at 90+ and you can type right now? thats impressive. Yeah they will hit 90mph before the Canadian border if you start in Albany, unlike the 636 that has had the amazing ability of getting to triple digit speeds in a few seconds. The number I can type right now is proper gear (on hands at least, the road rash on my foot is horrid). > [@Singh](#): > > ya impressive but they wont get to 90 as fast as a real bike will > > 250’s = pointless > > if ur gonna get a death machine get a proper death machine Every line in that post shows no maturity. ---
