well... unfortunately it happened
Yesterday the bike and I took a tumble
. My buddies and I were on our last part of our ride home and were on a mild windy back road that we have ridden on countless times. I was the second bike back and as i was coming throught the last turn, the back end slid out on me. luckily i saved it, but when i did i was already aimed dead at the guard rail. I tried stopping but the bike chucked me off into the rail and proceeding to the the same. My buddy behind me told me all this cause i really dont remember cause it happened so damn fast! we picked the bike up and I coasted it the best i could down to a driveway where we were safe. Luckily I am still alive after hitting the guard rail with only a scrape on my knuckle and plenty of bruises. If it wasnt for my leather and gloves things could have been A LOT worse. As for the bike, everything on the front is F'D up. wheel, forks, fender, bars, controls. along with the pipes, forwards, tank and a bunch of other small things.
