THIS is why you wear leather! (First time going down.)

I pulled a simular maneuver when I wrecked my kawi. Was trying to push my limits only after a month of riding time, went into a decreasing radius left-hander... leaned a bit too far with not enough throttle and lowsided... only except there was a nice guard rail there to meet my bike instead of grass :(

I've done like 2,000 miles in the past month. :dunno:

:sex:

Its all good, shiny paint was boring anyways, it needed some good scrape marks. :D Plus my wrist doesnt hurt *as* much now, so hopefully it'll be 100% within a week. :)

I guess it was as "good" of a crash as you can have.

Haha, going through some of my old posts and found this one. I dont think I've even dropped my bike since this incident. And it also reminded me that my wrist was sore until about January, so that was one hell of a sprain I put on my wrist. lol

glad your Ok jeff...and good call on gear.

2005 makes it no less of a good call:)

Picked up my bike from BCM on Saturday and yes..........................I was sure to wear full leathers even if I wasn't color coordinated with my bike.
