RE: Went down Tues morning
Sorry about that bro. Glad to see you came out of it the way you did. Hate to of seen the result had there been cagers coming the other way. Can't believe the cars didn't stop for you. They'll have it coming to them. Like it goes..pay it forward. Good luck, heal up and get back on!!!

WOW! Glad to hear all is well. That wrist looks looks painful.
Ice and bikes are a bad combination.
I lived in the Northwest most of my life... Black ice seems to come from nowhere... You don't know it is there until you are on it.
I am DEFINATLY a fair weather rider!

Jason.... Heal fast Dude!
I have just the therapy for that wrist. You'll have to ride over to the stadium for treatment!
Like I said last night, holler if you need anything.
Ya know... if there's no frame work (which there should not be), & it just bag(s), fairing, tank, bars kinda stuff.... we can do the work and maybe sneak that motor work in too.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Isn't it amazing how fast it happens when it does! 15-20 mph is the maximum speed used in MSF training, and hardly seems "dangerous," but it is.
I wear a 3/4 helmet....I just can't get over the claustrophobic feeling of a full face, but your pictures sure tell a story.....

RE: Went down Tues morning
curious, did you touch the brakes or was it out of control the minute your bike hit the snot?
As I sit in my office I'm trying to decide what to do should I encounter the same situation. what would be the best approach?
Were you traveling in a straight line on level ground or was it a curve inclide/decline.
There is alot of construction where I live and the background in your photo's look too similar to not take notice.

Dont think I had time to hit the brakes or pull the clutch in, it was just instantly on the ground.
I always have these thouhgts in the back of my mind of what I would do in case of..... You just dont have time to react in this type of situation.
Traveling in a straight line, the road is crowned for drainage like most and I went into the other lane, not the ditch on my side.
