OK it wasn't me but it happened less than 5 feet in front of me.
Here's the story
Me and 5 friends were going to a good 5 hour trip to day which I mentioned earlier.. we go about 10 minutes out and I was borded so I dropped back for some stunt practice.. My bike was running amazing and i was lifting 2nd into 3rd wheelies all day... then my buddy dropped back with me. he can wheelie usually better and longer than me (on my tlr anyway not on gixxer) He's on a ZX-9. He was really impressed with my new shifting technique and I was really getting in to some distance wheelies with me... I just finished landing a terrible wheelie that was lop sided to the right really bad 3 seconds later he attempts one behind me.... by the time he was right beside me he was 12 oclock and still on the juice.. another 5 feet infront of me and he looped her !... I had to quick dodge a tumbling body.. then pieces of the cartwheeling bike then the bike itself before i could fully stop and check on him. He was fine the full leathers did there job nicely, even though they ripped in the back above the zipper, he was in pretty good shape.. Job 1 get rid of all the witnesses.. told everyone around that we had a cell phone and that we would call the tow truck and that everyone was fine. . Job 2 get outta there before the cops showed up.. so guy with a pickup truck outta nowhere offered to get the wreck off the street and take it to his place. right down the street... saved out butts... anyway that killed the rest of the ride and we doubled him home before calling insurance. He's planning on getting a zx-10 anyway
hes says.. What happened was his bike wasn't running 100% and he had the throttle pinned in 2nd gear to try and get it up.. then about half way up.. she finally kicked right in... and loop before he could do anything. He's definately not a newbie to stunting and taught me a few tricks too. I looped it at 142 and we know that cause his speedo was stuck at 142 K still when we looked at the wreck .. GAWD is so fresh in my mind... its crazy to see your best friend rag doll down the street... Anyway.. stunters, keep in the back of your mind that this can happen...
always where leather ...... and keep your bike tuned.. especially if your stunting... Ok back to getting drunk ane forgetting about this crazy day.. I'm just glad this wasn't a RIP post.
Cheers all

Didn't know exactly why it did that but while he was reassembling her he found a bolt in one of his carbs. Guess the bolt must have jammed the throttle open on his way up. Stupid previous owner
Not to say I don't pop the front up on the R/R once in awhile.
Glad he is ok
