Xfz Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Kent, You should not feel bad. That was a sneaky off camber left turn which pushes the bike to the outside. Once you got into the gravel on the side of the road and then the ditch , it was all over. If not for the ditch you would have rode it out. It grabbed the wheels and the results were much like a high side. I have never been so glad to see a rider stand over a downed bike! Hope the ride home was uneventful. Get that bad boy fixed and we will try this again. As the wise man said " Shit happens" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howabusa Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Thanks George. The ride home was uneventful. All the damage is cosmetic, bike runs & rides good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
