The other night I did legs, just ripped them apart. My significant other had the car so I had to ride my motorcycle to the gym. I was fine until I came to a red light and my legs just gave out. I laid the bike down right there. Everyone around was looking at me like I was stupid or something cuss I was laughing my ass off. I just pick the bike up and walked it to the sidewalk, put the kickstand down and just chilled for 20 minutes. Anyone have a fallout like this in a car or on a bike before? And how many of you have bikes?

I just finished doing shoulders one day and had on a pair of sweets. I was going to do the normal right on red without stopping, but looked at the last second and saw a car. I pulled in the front brake and slid into the gas tank hard. Racked the shit out of me and I just fell over. I couldn't even get my leg out from under the bike, it hurt soo much. Just some scratches on the bike and none on me but some sore balls.

Riding a wheelie once, about 70 or 75 mph. One of my "friends" thought it would be cool to bump into me while I was on one wheel. Broke my left hand, a few fingers, and you could see my left knee cap. Roadrash wasn't too bad, I rolled more than I slid. Never went to the hospital, and couldn't work out for about 3 months.

T-Bone, a wheelie at 70 -75 mph? That must be one powerful bike! I can't even do that on my Yamaha R1, mind you i've never tried at that speed.

On an R1??? No problem. First gear will take you to what, 60? Second gear, wait till about 7000 rpm and fan the clutch. I'll guarantee that thing will stand straight up. I had a 600 I could get to stand up in THIRD gear if I had even a tiny little crest in the road. Take 3rd to about 7000 (while accelerating), exactly when you hit the crest fan the clutch. It's harder to stabalize it though when you START one at about 70 or 80 (3rd gear).

I sometimes have trouble with the clutch pedal in my car after I leave the gym after a calf workout. I have 'jimmy legs' for about the first 5 minutes of the drive home. Several times I have almost run into the person in front of me while waiting at a red light.

No bike stories, but I remember some recent workouts where legs/calves were so fucking fried that my foot would litterly bounce while resting on the clutch pedal.

get big or get out

Hey Jersey boy...my leg does the same thing when I work legs really hard. It just starts bouncing uncontrolably when I have the clutch pressed down...lol
