Not my full license, but I've had experience on motorcycles. Just waiting for the 30days so they'll let me take road test.

Take lessons first, then look at getting a bike. It's not the quick answer but it's the better one.

huge pile up at turn 9 at the ridge today. 6 people crashed because some fucking ass clown's entire exhaust system fell off his bike and was laying in the middle of the track right at the crest of an uphill corner. i'm the bike closest to the camera man - you can see me flying.

ep604 and i are okay aside from just general pain everywhere but ftz33wor has a broken wrist and his arm almost got ripped off. one guy got knocked out from the impact and his bike caught on fire after.

thanks for the support guys

i lost sight of ep604 as he was going over the crest of the hill, and the next thing i saw was his rear tire 5 feet off the ground from braking so hard. i did the same thing and flew into him. i actually had the entire thing captured on my go pro but the ambulance ran it over LOL. the file is corrupted now because it didn't save properly. does anyone know if theres a way to extract it?

yeah, coulda been handled by the corner workers better, but it's not foolproof.
particularly when someone ignores the yellow flag.

Speedy recovery to you all.
