I have had several crashes over the years but today I got the crap scared out of me big time. I was riding on Warwoman, a tricky road in north Ga. and was coming out of a corner and the Buell wheelied and it was just a short distance to the next corner. I had to get the thing back down and turned so I made a mistake and it went into a tank slapper when the wheel hit the road. I tensed up I know better but sometimes things happen. How I made the corner God only knows. I was pretty shook up for a while but tomorrow it will be just a memory.

. I tensed up I know better but sometimes things happen...

In some cases, the "learned things" are not always the best way out of a bad situation. Each one is different. I had a similar experience, with the same reaction...same result.

Glad it worked out for ya', and don't think about it too much....the next will be different.

Let me know when you are up. Warwoman and 28 into S.C. is a lot of fun. My whole upper body is sore this morning. I shook so hard it hurt. Might just hang out with the family today.

Is there any vinyl left on the seat? Glad you're ok.
