This is the most embarrassing post I may ever make. Went on a country ride made it through a few turns. I slowed to keep a smooth pace and accelerate through the corners. After exiting my last corner I seemed to drift straight for the edge of the road. Instead of sstaying calm I let my survival instincts kick in and grabbed the brakes. Total tunnell vision and I was tense. It was a deep ditch and flipped over the bike and landed on my head/face. If my helmet wasnt full faced my face would be toast. Scratched the helmet to hell and ruined my visor. My leather coat saved my upper body. Glad it has pads. Also the pod along with the new bar end weights saved the bike. I have been buffing on it all night. Its just cloudy. Hopefully I can get it somewhat shiny. |

try and keep a "High Visual Horizon"..it's too easy to get highway hypnotized and lose it...the bike goes where you're looking. |
