Many years ago, a Husky 450 on asphalt. That bike also kicked back enough to bend a steel plate in the arch of my boot when it backfired while kickstarting. One mean mother in the mid-70's.

I forgot to mentionthat I totalled this brand new Suzuki bandit 1200 as it rode on the license plate for a bit and scraped all the paint off of the numbers, then climbed the side of a mountain and did 2 flips before coming to a resting place in the middle of the road...

Late 70's, 360 Bultaco, coming out of a sandy wash onto a gravel road. Talk about hook-up!

I sled off my bike back in the 80's pulling a wheelie. I had just put armorall on the seat to make it look nice and went out to play on my bike. Well gave it some throtle and I found myself hanging on, throtle wide open laying on the seat in a superman position. Manage to pull this off without wrecking or witnesses .

1977. KX250 on the street. Bent the frame and had to have it replaced.

The end of my left knee as I knew it.
