Hey Scooter, was that you up on Dies Hill?

Always sorry to hear about a Harley going down, glad your ok. Bent iron is always better than bent bones.

Glad your alright. For what it's worth sharing your unfortunate stoy has just reminded me of the fact that despite the nice weather (finally) here in Western Washington the roadway crews are pretty slow getting all that gravel off of some of the nicer obsucre roads.

Glad to here your OK. Gravel sucks. Here in PA , known as the pot hole capital of the world (well country anyway), Not only do you have to be careful of the cinders left on the road from the winter months, but in the summer months the road "authorities" love to tar and chip (also known as oil and chip) patches in the road instead of fixing it right by repaving. The problem is that you never know when your going to come around a curve to meet up with a freshly done "patch" Not only is it like riding on marbles, but the tar makes a hell of a mess on the bike. Bad part is that it doesn't do sh*t to help the road.

Dress for the crash, not for the ride. Good to see you came out not too badly.
