bacchus Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Nice meeting up with some of you tonight at Wings and Rings.Leaving, we were going to ride to QS&L (ask Yota) and going to 270N I got forced to other direction, tunneled over to the grass and decided to prove to Pauly an ST4 is a multi-tool, too. I figured I was about 10' off the berm, riding it out at 60mph. Made it back on road, pulled over after the ramp and had a smoke. One of the guys tonight (on a beemer - missed you name - I was distracted) saw my off road excursion and stopped to make sure my pants were clean. Casper came along a minute later. We checked out the bike, pulled the grass off it, and parted ways.Never thought I'd enduro an ST4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacchus Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 The to-go wings in my side case (since I'm a fat old man on a bagger) did not fare as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izhe4rael Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Had to Google ST4. Was hoping it was one of these new adventure style bike. I was wrong. Glad to hear your all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacchus Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Nothing wrong with a little adventureIf my bike were an advtourer, I would agree.Glad your okThanksThat is crazy! I am glad you are ok! What exactly happened? Did a car run you off the road?Got forced onto the southbound 270 entrance from Broad and then forced to the berm where it got interesting. I was doing ok until I was into the marbles, then I tunnel visioned...suddenly, I'm bouncing along parralel to the road, but about 10' removed from it at 60mph:eek::eek:...guy was probably a bit upset about 3 bikes coming across his bow and I took the brunt of his anger.:nono: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacchus Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I suppose I should have been pissed, shot him, kicked his door in, etc... I was just happy to still be alive....in no mood to try and chase him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
