well lol my first out of state ride and i ate it, wont get into details right now but i am not to bad, i have a badly bruised body and, a lil road rash here and there but hwat i was wearing helped out a lot,


here: i have brused right hand, road rash that is bad only on knee and below my rist on the left side, road rash all on my back but it isent deep, it is just like scrapes, i almost needed one stich in my schin lol, and i got to see how super man feels when he flies lol


we were just across the navada border and there was this moderate speed corner, then i see eren (friend) braking hard, well there was a bump that you couldent see in the road, so he has anti lock brakes and he made it fine, i broke as hard as i could before the bump, hit the bump the the rear slid out so i let the back brake go thinking i could save a low side, and i did for about 2 feet then i relized i hadeto use the back brake unless i whanted to loose the bike off the cliff and never get it back lol.....so i hit the brake again and it slid ut again (gravel on the road) so like the newbie i am i let the brake go trien to save the low side again and i took the great all mighty high side

got catapolted over my right handle bar and the bike hit a boulder that was about 4 feet in radious and that did the damege to the bike, but i am glad it took that boulder kuz the boulder stopd thebike and went rolling down the hill just like i did, so when i flew over t he bar i hit something and did a sidways spin thingy lol (that is the main thing that hurts riht now) and scratched and hit and slid down every rock in the god dam hill, then i guess i lost consiousness for a bout 30 seconds then i jumped up, my fingers hit something because they hurt like hell and they were the size of grapes

the bike isent ridable right now ad i had to pick it up in my truck to take it home, wasent home until 4 in the mornin yesterday, and i ate it at like 3


i am lucky to have only this mutch sdammege


the bike needs a rear rim (i think thats what hit the boulder but i dont know i have a 6 inch bend in the rim)

a whole shifting lever and left foot peg

a left blinker

a left mirror

a rear brake light

all arounbd cosmedicts but that willl wait

and i need to take off the passenger peg or get a new one for the left side b/c it is bent out all the way to wear it is streight withthe ground

all in all it was the worst ride i have been on yet lol


its okay though i wil get her fixed up in no time :dthumb: :twfrox:


i dont know why but it dident scare me from riding, i will have her fixed and out again hopefully before the end of football season

That sucks man. I went riding last night over the mountain pass and it's got some decent twisties on it. Not the picture that i posted on here, another one.

I was riding with about five others as we were on our way home and they let me lead the pack of riders, I was taking the turns at like 95+mph and the other guys were probably like 1/4mile or more behind me. I stopped at the light to wait for them and they were like, "Dude, you're nuts. I can't believe you were leaning over that far and going that fast."

One of them did what you did but recovered. He tried to catch up to me and as I was coming out of the turn accelerating, he was going in. He told me that he held the throttle the same as he was, but when he was going through he gave it too much gas and his rear started sliding. He hit the back brake, skidded but recovered.

Glad to hear you're ok. Hope you get better quickly.

Good to see things will be ok, I'm sure you dont want to hear from me but could it have been the new front tire? Or a patched up one. Because on sunday it was still flat. Just wandering if you are able to confirm that a repaired front tire isnt a good way to go. Or was the new tire ok it was just rider error. We dont have any 24 hour cycle centers where I live that would do a tire Sunday afternoon. Your lucky. :dthumb:

Still glad to hear you're ok. Bike and the parts are replaceable. Just be a jiggalo and find some old lady that is gonna kick the bucket and marry her. Then when she kicks, get all her money!

:iagree:

Just get that bike fixed before your whole summer passes you by. Plenty of more riding left to do. But get yourself well first.
