Tally them up, I'm number 4

Well, woke up at 10:20 in Dublin (Jon's house) to get to work by 12:00. So I take 270 to Gahanna, but the Road is closed for a parade, so I get back on the freeway. I take the Broad St Newark exit, it is a suggested limit of 35, I start to take it at 45 not being a big deal because I have taken it at 60 before. I lean into it a little, not even as if I was tryin to take it fast, just a little lean, but the bike keeps on going down :( . I slide accros the ramp on my back with the bike.

 

I came to a stop in the middle of the ramp and the bike about 15 ft away from me in the grass. Cars behind me drive around me. I still don't know if it was my fault or not. I thought it was gravle but there were only a few chunks I saw after I looked around, the bike just came out from under me? I wish I woulda known if it was somthing I did so I would know for next time but it will remain a mistery to me. My only guess is oil, gravel, or just cold tires.

 

Final damage:

Fairing below the body line scraped to hell

Broken Slider

Broken swingarm spool

Broken stay (dear god not gaian)

Scraped to hell exhaust

And broken handlbar bracket

 

My jacket didnt even have a mark, not a streak, nothing. Blah

 

and to add to the kick in the nuts, It's the 4th, work is closed.

 

Where can I get fairings?

damnit ben! that sux. coulda been alot of things. but one that came to mind was your body position. since you thought you werent takin it that hard, did you slide over at all? even if it was oil, gravel, etc. you body position can be the dif. between savin it and a low side.
