Default your all going to get a kick out of this

my ducati clutch basket threw a spring in the middle of a decent left turn at 25 mph, i dont know exactly what happened but the rear tire either spun out or locked up but it turned into a really sharp left turn and i slammed into the center median, it was about 6 inches high.

two kids coming out of the nearby highschool and some guy who also rides, who was in his car behind me, helped peel me off the road and get me to the sidewalk

lots of carbon fiber and fiberglass panels are ruined completely... i need a new clutch, the alluminum itself broke and its shredded inside. some parts of the frame and front subframe bent, gas tank dented. right exhuast mount is toast


its still rideable but its not fun

and yes im very very very sore


go ahead and talk about my luck some more

ima be passed out on the couch

If it caused you to crash it is not rideable.You seem to go down quite a bit.None of my business but maybe you need a CanAm Spyder.Three wheels will keep you upright.Stability control and ABS.With your luck you need it.I hear they are very quick as well.My friend that went down on a Bergman went down and "if" he gets back on a scoot it will be a CanAm Spyder.

Joe...

Glad you're still in one piece and hope your luck changes very, very soon. Hopefully when it does, the good will more than offset the bad you've experienced.

You should buy a bunch of lottery tickets because your luck has got to change. Glad you are mostly O.K.

I was going to suggest the plastic bubble but I guess you read my mind.

No offense, but I'm getting the hell out of this topic before some of your luck rubs off on me. I finally got rid of my chitty luck and I don't need it to come back.
