Bike kicked me in the nads. OUCH!
Tonite about 8:30.. Two lanes go to one, get outside a newer blazer or something at red light. I roll out across intersection and get on it in first, next thing I know it feels like there's two feet of air, and I have to look up to see over front... I let off a little too fast and bounced down hard. Are these bikes only for the gals???? OUCH!

That why I went to a corbin seat. The corbin lets you set back away from the friggin tank!

On that same note,........how many people have been low on gas,...like only a gallon or something,...and you nail it hard in 1st gear and it takes off like a bat out of hell for about 1 second, then the fuel pickup gets uncovered and and it's like somebody put on the front freakin' brake!!
WHAM! Family Jewels into the tank, everytime!!!
I hate that!

yep, had the low gas thing happen many times. but worst crushing incident was the result of an unintentional rolling stoppie. i came down HARD and right on the damn tank. parked the bike right where it was in the middle of the street and hobbled around bent over for the next few minutes. i definitely wish they'd build a little recess into the tank, as i'v seen done w a couple other bikes (mostly italian i think).

Do yourself a favor, as soon as you reach the last bar on gas gauge, get gas. I've only seen it blink twice. Once when it was new, (And had trouble with stalling and cutting off) and once when I couldn't find a gas station out of state. Now I use the "Points of Interest" on my GPS to find my gas station (Amoco-Clearly Better) when I'm in a unknown area and low on gas. Love that GPS!

Yep always fun when the engine dies then turn on again at full throttle at 10000 rpm, freaking gas tank slams ya right in the chest as it wheelies. Learned lesson reallll quick..

All you homos need to get into the gym and work on your bench presses.  Get your chest and triceps stronger and maybe that'll keep you from rackin' yourselves. Either that, or you're smokin' too much shit and you aren't quick enough to counter the bike when it's low on gas and you get on it.
Only once did I rack my nuts hard enough that I was keeled over afterwards...I was doing a wheelie on the freeway for a bus full of kids. I was trying to shift into 3rd while still in the wheelie and the fuckin' thing did a false neutral on me. Front wheel was high off the ground at the time, so it sent me smashing down and crushing my nuts just right. OUCH!! I wanted to pull over right there, but I had to meet my girlfriend and I was late...so the pain slowly subsided over the next 10 miles.  That's the only time. Lot of other close calls, though. Guess I can thank my superior tricep, deltoid and pectoral strength for protecting the family jewels.

Your not one of those workout guys using steroids so that your family jewels shrink up to nothing and thereby no issue with the tank??

Personally I have on occasion found the vibration pleasurable!!! And then as usual the moment passes to quickly and back to the same old shit!!
