DudeAbides Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Went out this evening with Luke and Matt riding out 48. Don't think we were on 48 when it happened but I ended up parking the bike in someones front yard. Being careless on a road I've never been on, came thru a s-curve with a blind left that went directly into a right and I wasn't pulling it off. Anyways, broken front fairing, windscreen, and shifter is the damage done. Duct tape, zip strips and a new shifter and Ill be back soon.

mrmako777 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 someone have parts for this guy? i need my riding partner back in the game!glad you made it unscathed tho my man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
954RRLuke Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 It was all my fault....I should have taken it alot slower than I did. It's a really tough S-curve for someone that knows it let alone someone that has never ridden that road before. Luckily no one got hurt so it was all good. Hope you get the bike fix up quick so we can get back out there Nate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeAbides Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 not your fault, I dont remember seeing a "hey dumbass. Follow me" sticker on the back of your bike. Matt waved me on early to do what I should have done, taken it easy on roads I dont know. I should have slowed down after grabbing air coming off that hill earlier in the ride, instead I grabbed dirt later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

954RRLuke Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I love those hills man. I love pulling power wheelies off of them. If only Matt was man enough to even try pulling a wheelie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Matt was man enough to even try pulling a wheelie...matt knows his limits, so matt takes it easy. besides, they may look cool, but wheelies arent really my thing. id much rather take the turns!i would figure you would do wheelies since you suck in the curves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, we didn't make it to a really good road full of twisties. I like the variety you get out there. Hills, a couple nice S-Curves and straightaways for some fun top speed action. Hopefully we can all head back out there when you get the bike fix up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
