well i went down on tuesday on east 580 in livermore about a mile from the airway exit doing about 70 oil was all in the lane my back wheel just went out from under me like i was on ice it happened so fast.
i am fine had all my gear on only got a minor bruised knee and some burn on my arm from the inside of my jacket i slid for a long time before i stopped .
i saw many bikes pass by the seen most harley riders if any of you have any info or saw the red truck that had spilled the oil please let me know i would like the insurance or chp to talk to them thanks everybody for your help.
it is banged up a bit i don't know if it will get totaled , btw i know people don't like arlen ness to much but there crew came and got me off the road and the people in service have bent over backwards to help me out john is the man over there many thank to him and forest for all the help.
Sucks bro I went down last monday but I was only doing 55 getting off the freeway. Count your blessings. Look at it as an oppertunity to change up the look of your scoot and do some new mods. Make some lemonade and find the positive side of your situation!
I used to live in Pleasanton and rode 580 frequently. Glad you weren't seriously hurt and that with all the traffic on 580 that you managed to avoid all the cars that travel that road.
