You guys ever noticed this?

[Gloomshadow]

The other day I really dropped the hammer on first and second gear, I swear the G-forces were enough to distort my vision like I was looking through toilet paper tubes for a second. I never really noticed it before... was that my imagination or did the Gs get me?

I can notice the same feeling if I am dehydrated/hungover. Feels like the bike is way faster. Only experienced it a few times. My peripheral view blurs at much lower speeds than it normally would

 

[Gloomshadow]

must have something to do with blood pressure maybe? I got real low blood pressure readings for my age.. causes the blood to flow out of my eyeballs under acceleration or something?

 

[snrusnak]

I think it's the drugs

 

[konarider94]

I think it's the drugs

lol x2

but seriously Ive accelerated much faster than that without any side affects. You might want to talk to your doctor.

 

[Gloomshadow]

could be.. I just noticed some blurring around the edges like 2004 said.. I had to strain my eyes to keep focused on the road.. it only lasted for like a second or two..

Do you have sinus problems? Or a sinus cold?

When I got older I developed sinus problems. Which have had a direct affect of causing my equilibrium to out of balance. Especially when I make sudden movements. It causes light headedness and blurred vision sometimes. Have experienced it on the motorcycle when my med's are low. Not fun...

 

[Gloomshadow]

fuck yeah I got chronic sinus problems going back to when I was 14... every few years Ill look down, hear a pop and a bunch of shit that looks just like popcorn butter will flow out like a bloody nose.. there is nothing they can do for it though.. they said its just the kind of sinuses I was born with..

that's a good idea, I never thought that my sinuses could be related to that.. its a possibility .. my balance is ok though. I have not noticed any problems with that. Thanks Disturbed, you could be right.

Kinda know what you mean. Bananas and baked beans will give me a sudden burst of acceleration and I have to close one eye to keep from seeing double. At those times my sinuses are only affected when I'm sitting still. And I don't have to be riding.

distort my vision like I was looking through toilet paper tubes

I get that when I drink scotch.

 

[Theycallmecrash]

Bad sushi does this to me.

 

[Cooter]

It only happens to me when I look through toilet paper tubes.

 

[BuellyBagger]

Took off a bit too tipsy a few times, damn that makes the bike feel fast, hangovers do it to me too, hard to focus no good sense of distance. I had sinus problems when i was a kid too, not too bad now, never would've imagined it or realized it was/could effect vision/perception, but it does make sense now that disturbed mentions it.

Gloomshadow,

I never thought that my sinuses could be related to that.. its a possibility

I'm on Zyrtec (everyday) and Claritin-D (when it gets really bad). My vision gets foggy / hazy when my sinuses flare. (Internally the eyes have canals connected to the sinus cavities.) When I get a sinus cold on top of everthing else, then dizzyness / light headedness with sudden head movements. (My doc says I should be on prescrition meds. but I can make do as is, and don't want the sideaffects of the scrips.)

With the sinus colds and congestion, I have to sniff warm water in the shower. Much like jumping in the pool and the water going up your nose, but it helps clear out the sinus cavities.

Not saying this is your case, but you should get looked at by a doc.

 

[anrkizm95]

sounds like you finally found 3rd gear,be careful 4th will seem really nasty when you get there.

 

[WIGGLE2]

Not sure WHAT he'd see if he was on a FAST bike?!

 

[djs2k2]

Wiggle2 = It would look like he was looking through a paper towel tube!

 

[GoFASTER100]

How bout the feeling you get when you're on a really fast bike on a narrow road, and you get the Star Treck "Warp speed" feeling and the trees get blurry. That's my favorite.

 

[Gloomshadow]

yeah that's kinda what it looked like..

and by the way.. you guys are all bitches, Im not going to go so far as to call ya.ll hoes, but I will call you guys bitches.. trying to get me all sensitive and shit... bitches...[mad]

 

[djs2k2]

Gloom, that just warms my heart!
