. I'm an intermediate rider, I didn't really ever push the limits of my R1, its probably what saved my life, for the moment I'm a bit traumatized on getting back on one, but I will eventually, no clue what bike is next, decisions decisions 
I got chewed out by a lot of people because I'm young, and got the "I told you so" but the funny thing is it wasn't my fault, just the wrong place at the wrong time.
Riding on the street is just insane.. it's not how good or bad of a rider you are.. but the drivers around who aren't aware of you.. I used to ride back in college for a little over 2 yrs until my insurance just sky rocketed which forced me to sell my bike.. rode a 01 Gixxer 600.. I did some stupid stuff on my bike when I was young and crazy, but when I pick up my next bike it will be strictly for the track and canyons only.. IMHO street riding is just plain insane..

Here's pics of my Raven R1. It was hard going to the impound to identify my bike. The guy at the impound said "Your the owner of the bike? We thought the guy that owned this bike was dead".

I was riding at night and this guy with no insurance and license making a left on the other side of the street decides to make the left right when I'm in the intersection and the last thing I remember is seeing his Rear right door, then waking up 4 days later in the hospital asking "Why am I here". That night was cold so I was wearing my leather jacket and Diesel jeans that saved my legs. I walked away with NO road rash, a chipped tooth, fractured knee cap and dislocated finger. nothing serious. Oh and the guy took off and left me for dead, but they caught his punk a$$ and he was hit with a FELONY Hit & run and spent 2006 Christmas behind bars for the next 3 months. I also asked the cop if he had stopped, what would happen? She said nothing, but a ticket and they would let him go. What a retard.

A ticket for no insurance+license and causing a near fatal accident if he'd pulled over, what a slap in the wrist
