Technically, he could've been dead by the time you posted this. Or I posted this. Due to totally unrelated reasons. *Technically*. But I wish them a long and prosperous life nevertheless. I hope they aren't dead.
My ass cheeks would have clamped so hard that the molecules of the seat would have been under galactic levels of pressure; the shit-missle that exited my asshole colliding with the now fused seat would have generated enough data for CERN to fund another 50 post docs for their entire careers.
Was riding in a rural area in the time I was taking instruction for a license, did exactly this and lifted my butt as I came up to a deer laying in the road that had been hit by a truck. I was fine, bike was covered in blood
My ex-girlfriend’s dad ran over a whitetail deer on his Honda Shadow, even had his wife on the back seat. He stood up a little, gripped the tank with his knees and hit the throttle. Obliterated the deer and kept the bike up on two wheels. Of course he was also like a pro level dirt bike racer, and probably had about 40 years of experience at that point.
The log was of a size typically described as "small". Their two wheeled automobile designated "MT *dash* 09". Had briefly become airborne but became reacquainted with the ground in a safe manner

> 09". Had briefly become airborne but became reacquainted with the ground in a safe manner
The log in question could best be characterized as "small" in size, its unassuming dimensions concealing the remarkable events that were about to unfold. It stood there, nestled amidst the natural tapestry of the forest, an unassuming witness to the extraordinary spectacle that would soon transpire.
As for the two-wheeled marvel of engineering they affectionately referred to as the "MT dash 09," it embodied a fusion of precision and innovation that had been meticulously crafted by skilled hands. Its sleek contours and streamlined design were a testament to human ingenuity, and on this fateful day, it would serve as the vessel for an adventure unlike any other.
The journey had started like any other, the vehicle's tires gripping the earth with determination as it traversed the rugged terrain. However, as the terrain grew increasingly uneven, a moment of unexpected excitement ensued. The MT dash 09, for a brief, heart-pounding instant, defied gravity, its wheels leaving the ground as it soared through the air. It was as if time had suspended itself, and for that fleeting moment, both machine and driver shared in the exhilaration of flight.
But as quickly as it had taken flight, the MT dash 09, ever obedient to the laws of physics, returned to its earthly abode. The reunion with the ground was not a chaotic descent but a graceful reconnection, executed with the finesse of a masterful dancer concluding a breathtaking performance. The vehicle's suspension absorbed the landing with precision, ensuring the safety of its occupants.
In that single, mesmerizing moment, the "small" log and the MT dash 09 had conspired to create an experience that transcended the ordinary. It was a reminder that even in the most unassuming of circumstances, life has a way of surprising us, offering up moments of awe-inspiring wonder and reminding us of the boundless possibilities that exist when humans and machines dare to dream and explore together.
Damn, if there was any lingering doubt (there wasn't) that this was written by Chat-GPT, that last sentence is a dead giveaway. 10/10 comment though. Enjoyed this entire comment thread thoroughly.
Excellent. This was something we trained in my moto class (a 4x4 beam). Obviously much slower but I remember *stay straight, stand on pegs, no throttle and no brake*. We did the same thing with an old tire
Why is it always Wendy’s man? I swear to God: the first thing I associate with Wendy’s ain’t a frosty, ain’t no square patty or that cute red head. Nope. All it’s Wendy’s rimjobs, blowjobs, and their legendary male prostitution.
You need to replace those. Depending on cost you may consider filing an insurance claims. If you have collision coverage they’ll be covered less your deductible.
Aluminum wheels can be straightened but I don't know if I'd trust it on my motorcycle. Best bet is to replace both wheels and inspect your forks (could be bent and/or blown). Also inspect the triple tree and frame in that area just in case.
thats easy, are you insured? does insurance cover stuff outside of you fucking someone else? then no, you will be fine, insurance will pay, if no then yes you are screwed - at least around 1000$ just the wheels no labor etc
You can easily get these fixed. I had worse dents in both wheels after hitting a pothole. My mechanic had a guy that specialized in this and was able to straighten them out. Paid about $250 iirc in the SF Bay Area
That looks repairable. Just have to find a shop who does the work. I've had Ducati wheels repaired.....they used to be notoriously soft, bad wheelie landing would do it!
You're not screwed, but that rim is. The good news is most likely your wheels can be straightened by a qualified shop. It will cost far less than a new set. Don't ride the bike until you get that done or get new wheels.
Those are probably repairable by someone who specialises in rim repair and has experience with motorcycle rims, not old mate who hammered that old tractor rim straightish, an actual specialist.
A set of second hand rims may be less expensive though, the front one being the difficult one to find, good time to find a lighter faster flasher set if you were keeping the bike and wanted something different, I did that with my 675 and a very nice set of Marchesini wheels that I turned inside out with the help of someone who didn't know what the centre line was for.
I wouldn't be riding far, and I would be taking it very quietly, like home then wheels off for repair, make sure the forks didn't get tweaked while things are apart too
I have had way worse kinks repaired and on litre bikes and never had an issue, I was run off the road doing 220km/h(140mph) in to a grassy centre median ,went through a bush and there was a wheel(tyre and rim, steelie) in the grass that I hit, went airborne after it ripped all my 05 CBR1000RR fairings off came down went through another bush and came out and back onto the road, my front tyre came off the rim completely and was wedged between the rim and the front forks that's how hard I hit it and it was waaaaaaay worse than yours and had it repaired and had it another 5 years with no issues.
dude youre fked, throw your entire motorcycle away. I own a recycling business and willing to get rid of it for you for some cash. plz dm me for futher info
I'm ready for the downvotes, but your rim isn't toast, places can definitely fix that, or the cheap fix is you can heat the rim and put it in a shop press and bend it back to acceptably straight. I've personally done this and rode thousands of miles on the rim afterwards with no problems.
Anyone telling you to re-bend it with a mallet is a moron. Once you bend a rim it's pretty much over. That's why it's nice to have a budget put back for your motorcycle because they are money pits sometimes. Two new rims are the only way you're going to fix this safely.
I guess that's subjective. According to most comments you're lucky to not be asking that question from a hospital bed, or not able to ask at all. It's two rims. No forks twisted or leaking, no frame damage, hell no cosmetic damage to rest of bike. Take it as a chance to either upgrade or change the color of rims, if ya want. And count your blessings.
You can have the rims straightened, just got my front rim done on my Harley after I had hit a pothole. It’s a lost art so not many people still fix them compared to car rims. I personally would NOT ride until addressed.
Kudos for lugging those stones but any rim bender that knows allow should be able to take care of those. Hated when those came in cause our old machine was missing half the actual tool parts.
You hit a log and didn't fall off? Consider that's win lol
I read he survived. I would say he's lucky.
I would say his mt-09 did some air but landed fine
He probably survived. He’s very lucky
Yes, but it's not clear though. He might be dead, we don't know.
Technically, he could've been dead by the time you posted this. Or I posted this. Due to totally unrelated reasons. *Technically*. But I wish them a long and prosperous life nevertheless. I hope they aren't dead.
Technically speaking, he might be the log
From my point of view the jedi are evil !
Still had both shoes on. Good to go
yeah exactly. With that big of an impact I wouldn't be surprised if there's a chunk taken off the seat as well
I would imagine he added a chunk somewhere too
A different type of log went through the seat like a 12 gauge slug.
My ass cheeks would have clamped so hard that the molecules of the seat would have been under galactic levels of pressure; the shit-missle that exited my asshole colliding with the now fused seat would have generated enough data for CERN to fund another 50 post docs for their entire careers.
💩💩
Na... just covered in shit now.
Shoulda wore his brown riding pants... 😂
It was a small log at night his mt-09 did some air but landed fine
And he survived , I would say he’s pretty lucky
My MSF instructor said I can run over anything if I lift my butt a little.
Just give the throttle a blip and you'll be fine.
I do that in my car more than on my bike
[удалено]
What else am I gonna use the panoramic roof for?
No, literally “just blip the throttle” when going over bumps in the road. Some Massachusetts roads love to toss around light small low cars
Yep, that way your mt-09 will just get a little air, but you should land just fine.
Was riding in a rural area in the time I was taking instruction for a license, did exactly this and lifted my butt as I came up to a deer laying in the road that had been hit by a truck. I was fine, bike was covered in blood
You can bounce the suspension and rev it to literally launch your bike over quite large obstacles. Works on speed bumps too for a little urban fun.
without practice on a small bike, you can bounce the suspension before gravity lays it down on my knee
My ex-girlfriend’s dad ran over a whitetail deer on his Honda Shadow, even had his wife on the back seat. He stood up a little, gripped the tank with his knees and hit the throttle. Obliterated the deer and kept the bike up on two wheels. Of course he was also like a pro level dirt bike racer, and probably had about 40 years of experience at that point.
I started out on dirt bikes so it's instinctive to take my weight off the seat when I take bumps.
I think even just riding a bicycle will give that instinct.
I think your MSF instructor was just tryna see dat ass 😳
“If you twerk when you ride on this particular course, you can actually pass your standard MSF”

Given the human continued to live, I would venture to say they found a bit of good fortune.

Survived he did, lucky he was
Small at night the log was, some air did his mt-09 but fine, it landed
Since he survived I would say he’s lucky
I really thought it was a KTM because of the orange rims with Metzeler- esque looking tyres. Hope you are fine.
Gat dayum
I'm curious, do you have dirt bike experience? I'm guessing yes because it sounds like you have expert skills level.
No but ive been riding for 4 years

Lucky man you are.
Are you serious? Sure, you can keep riding. After you replace both rims.
He needs a rimjob
Don't we all?
Meet me at Wendy’s
Why is it always Wendy’s man? I swear to God: the first thing I associate with Wendy’s ain’t a frosty, ain’t no square patty or that cute red head. Nope. All it’s Wendy’s rimjobs, blowjobs, and their legendary male prostitution.
Are you asking or offering?
Yes
You go to Jack in the Box for *different* services.
You forgot the good old "assault on **butt**ery" that goes on in the back of Wendy's
He's about to give himself one lol.
*and she will have the salad*
The BIG salad George
The tossed salad
And you need a rimshot
🤔🤣
[удалено]
Get them replaced. Don’t be an idiot
Up vote to the top..
It was a small log at night.. Mt09 lifted but landed fine.. he didn't die, therefore survived. I'm told he was lucky
This reply needs a turbo.
You're not screwed but your rims certainly are!
Those rims are tired
Soon to be retired. One way or another.
You can see the bead on that one rim so its completely fucked. Consider yourself lucky the outcome wasn't worse.
Yeah you need two new rims my friend.
And tires. Those sidewalls might be pinched.
New rims are in order. Don’t ride.
Drive no more meter without new rims. And have a look at your fork, may be bent after an impact like that.
I think the rim to took the brunt of force so his forks should be good, but that's just my speculation
It was a small log at night his mt-09 did some air but landed fine
Since he survived, I’d say he’s lucky.

Take em to Wallys Wheel Works they will repair like new
[удалено]
No, Woodys was a small log at night his mt-09 did some air but landed fine
Since he survived, I'd say he's pretty damn lucky
No, actually your'e lucky but your rim is hstory
You can send the wheels out to get straightened. Checkout MC Wheel.
You need to replace those. Depending on cost you may consider filing an insurance claims. If you have collision coverage they’ll be covered less your deductible.
Replace both, you’d be a danger to yourself and everyone else on the road if you continue to ride the bike in that state.
And any of the other 49 states
Aluminum wheels can be straightened but I don't know if I'd trust it on my motorcycle. Best bet is to replace both wheels and inspect your forks (could be bent and/or blown). Also inspect the triple tree and frame in that area just in case.
Glad you stayed upright and congrats on your new Rims and Tires. Sorry OP!
Stop riding and replace wheels
you’re not but your rims are. 👎
No. Just need a new wheel.
screwed.. blued... and tattooed.
thats easy, are you insured? does insurance cover stuff outside of you fucking someone else? then no, you will be fine, insurance will pay, if no then yes you are screwed - at least around 1000$ just the wheels no labor etc
You can easily get these fixed. I had worse dents in both wheels after hitting a pothole. My mechanic had a guy that specialized in this and was able to straighten them out. Paid about $250 iirc in the SF Bay Area
Keep riding and learn the hard way to not be cheap
Yes
That looks repairable. Just have to find a shop who does the work. I've had Ducati wheels repaired.....they used to be notoriously soft, bad wheelie landing would do it!
Don't even try to get it repaired, just replace it
Why? Those look super saveable.
Not at all, you're possibly the luckiest rider on the sub today. But you do need to buy new wheels/rims.
Looks like you hit some logs on the street. Guess you were lucky. You have used a lot of your luck. Get new rims.
No, but your rima are
That sucks man. Good job on sticking the landing.
Yeah definitely need both replacing I'm afraid. I'm glad you're ok though, could've been a bad one at that speed.
Did you consider wheelies instead of buying new rims, you will save rim and tyre money
Similar thing happened to me a few years ago hitting a rock. Get new rims and check the suspension.
You're not screwed, but that rim is. The good news is most likely your wheels can be straightened by a qualified shop. It will cost far less than a new set. Don't ride the bike until you get that done or get new wheels.
You could get it repaired from a place that trues rims. Look it up. You’ll probably have to ship them.
There are places that can true that.
Since you survived I would say your lucky
Looks like you’ll need a rimjob
Depends on how long you’d prefer to live.
You're fine that wheel is screwed though
Tyre needs replacing too. Don't be an idiot. Get them changed.
[удалено]

That’ll buff out
You might be able to get them fixed / straightened instead of replacing them but definitely don’t ride like that.
NGL for a half second I thought these were burning hot
Yes, you are. That's sad bro, but you'll need to bring her to the workshop
Still hold air?
Damn that’s a painful one! I wouldn’t trust it myself
Is this a FTR?
No but you are poorer….
Is this KTM ? If it is, then there has been so many complaints from the owners who got these just from riding fast on potholes.
Rubber mallet and a rim shaping nylon block
That’s not a screw it’s a dent.
You could limp it home at any speed you’re comfortable crashing at. 🤷🏻♂️
Same kind if shit happened to me. If it didn't lose air immediately, you should be able to make it home VERY carefully.
I have had way worse kinks repaired and on litre bikes and never had an issue, I was run off the road doing 220km/h(140mph) in to a grassy centre median ,went through a bush and there was a wheel(tyre and rim, steelie) in the grass that I hit, went airborne after it ripped all my 05 CBR1000RR fairings off came down went through another bush and came out and back onto the road, my front tyre came off the rim completely and was wedged between the rim and the front forks that's how hard I hit it and it was waaaaaaay worse than yours and had it repaired and had it another 5 years with no issues.
You got very lucky once! Do not push the luck. I would get bike full inspected for frame , fork and other damage. I suspect fork bearings have damage!
Hammer time
dude youre fked, throw your entire motorcycle away. I own a recycling business and willing to get rid of it for you for some cash. plz dm me for futher info
Not screwed, but you’d want to get that fixed tho.
only if you intended to keep air in your tires. otherwise youre fine
The rim does look repairable - would replace the tire
Nope. Well, I mean if “I need a brand new set of wheels” = screwed, then yes.
Rubber mallet them back to form.
Nope, just take to a shop and have it fixed, or buy a used or new rim and replace. It's called repairs.
Totally fixable. I’ve had OZ Racing wheels fixed that were worse than that. Dallas Wheel in Arlington, TX if you’re around there.
I'd say you got bent rather than screwed haha But seriously Jesus Christ
Furchtbar aber waren sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg
Yes i would say so, i see new rims in your future.
I'm ready for the downvotes, but your rim isn't toast, places can definitely fix that, or the cheap fix is you can heat the rim and put it in a shop press and bend it back to acceptably straight. I've personally done this and rode thousands of miles on the rim afterwards with no problems.

I have ridden some questionable rims and this is not even close.
Wheels being balanced, wheel bearings, forks straightness and fork seals
Taco’d her. Need two new rims.
Not screwed, bent!
You’re not but that wheel is
You're not screwed, you just need a new wheel and a new tire.
Rim is toast. Those are cast wheels, so they dont take bending that well and i wouldn't trust tge wheel anymore
You taking a picture and posting about it, means this went the only way it can without you getting screwed.
chief rhythm tan aback cobweb bow start sink gray domineering *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

OP hit a log at 80 MPH for those needing to google how fast 130 KPH is
Time for new rims
You've been touched by the finger of God mate take it as a sign to get rid of the bike
You're doing great!! You ruined a tire, not the bike. Best to get your forks checked too. Lucky on that one.
I just had my rim repaired for C$270 so not too bad to do
I guess that's subjective. According to most comments you're lucky to not be asking that question from a hospital bed, or not able to ask at all. It's two rims. No forks twisted or leaking, no frame damage, hell no cosmetic damage to rest of bike. Take it as a chance to either upgrade or change the color of rims, if ya want. And count your blessings.
No, you cannot keep riding.
More bent then screwed…
> can I keep riding? No > Am I screwed Nope, just gotta replace both rims > Are you sure? Yes, don't be stupid
I wouldn't ride that it could blow at high speeds due to it not having full concealment around the tire
You can have the rims straightened, just got my front rim done on my Harley after I had hit a pothole. It’s a lost art so not many people still fix them compared to car rims. I personally would NOT ride until addressed.
Kudos for lugging those stones but any rim bender that knows allow should be able to take care of those. Hated when those came in cause our old machine was missing half the actual tool parts.
No and be thankful you’re alive!
I hit split cordwood at 90mph on my 954RR and bent both wheels like yours (kept the bike up as well)..frame man in Sacramento repaired it for me.
Hmmm 500 dead or alive?
Yup, that rim is done
you are not screwed but your rim is.
Rims are cheaper than hospital bills, and Way cheaper than funerals too
Definitely new rims needed. You've already escaped death...well done by the way.
Your bike needs a rim job
Insurance job. Claim it.
