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

Glad to hear you are OK. I don't mean to preach but I'd getting several thousand "incident free" miles under the belt before really pushing it, which I'd save for a track day under instruction. Kudos on wearing full gear, and good luck!

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



Its all good, shiny paint was boring anyways, it needed some good scrape marks. 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

This thread is from 2005, I was searching for another thread and saw this one. Was just reflecting on the "good ole days".

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.
