+1 on the sand/salt. Also crap on tires... when I was younger I parked my old sportbike in some mud in my buddies driveway for several hours before riding off and immediately throwing the bike at the first turn - that one hurt like hell. Glad you're alright.

I'm not going to say welcome....not a club many brag about. I'm glad to hear that you are ok and were even able and confident enough to ride home. I hope you get the bike fixed in short order and back on the road safely again.

Just to make you feel better. I've never dumped one on the street from just riding (the phrase "never say never" comes to mind here, but I digress.) But I joined the club by riding thru Eureka Springs, AR and looking at everything but the Malibu way out in front of me that decided to stop to make a left turn!! The bike was fixed, about 10 grand, the Malibu was repaired for about $2500, and I was off work for about 3 weeks, and much to my wife's dismay, I still look around too much!!!
Believe me when I say I would have much rather wrecked one hot rodding thru a curve versus running into the back of a friggin cage!!!
Why did I tell this on myself???? Because it's funny as #$%* and I'd rather laugh about it as cry!!

I joined that club 2 years ago on a raod I ride nearly every day. Excep on that day a garbage truck with a leaky hydrualic system had gone through a few minute bearlier and left a 2 foo wide path of hydrulic fluid on the roadway. Hit it in a lean goin only about 30 MPH, found myself sideways in the blink of an eye and half a blink later watching my Ultra slide down the road on its left side, me on my a--. Aside from a sore backside, the only damage was $7000 to my Ultra (WTF!) Just goes to show, you never know what conditions will be on familiar roads. Glad you're ok.
