Unhappy Laided her down

Laided her down saturday night riding two up. I was blinded by headlights in a turn. when I was able to see again, realized that I was not going to be able to make the turn, I got it slowed down as much as I could, kept it up until I got in the grass. I was looking at trees so decided to lay her down. There was no way I was going to stop a 900 lb bike in the grass two up. Wife and I are both ok. Bike suffered no damage, how I don't know. Just had to clean the mud and grass off and, reset things like mirror, riding pegs, crash bars around saddle bag. Rode home but, wife said she is done riding at night.

I am glad you are and your wife are ok. It's a bonus that there is no damage to your bike.

Glad it all worked out OK. Better to have the wife say she is done riding at night than say she is done riding.
