  • I had no conception of throttle, I was on a gsxr 1000.

    The last clutch I used was a Honda civic. I was on a steep incline at a red light. If I were in my civic, I would have to give quite a bit of gas before letting off the clutch just to prevent from stalling. So I gave my bike a nice choke on the throttle before letting go of the clutch.

    The bike took off… Fast… And it surprised me and I tensed up. As I tensed up, my grip on the throttle became stronger and caused me to pull the throttle harder.

    I sped up really fast and hit the curb, went over the handle bars and flew several yards through the air and landed in a parking lot. There were bones sticking out of my leg and I was laying in a puddle of my own blood.

    Lucky for me the ambulance was across the street and they witnessed it happen. Otherwise I may not have survived.
