Well like the title says I lowsided today. I was on a descending off camber left hander and overestimated the tires grip on the cold pavement. I was definately going to fat (65-70mph.) The bike would have lowsided on the pavement but I kept it up until the shoulder where it and I slid into a muddy ditch. Both the bike and I are okay. I have no injuries other than strained muscles. The bike only has damage on the left side. From what I see I will be needing: front/rear signals, bar end mirror (cheap bicycle kind), bars, traction grips shift linkage, traction pegs, and oil cooler scoop. I learned a valuable lesson today and did not get hurt too badly. Someone was definately looking out for me toady. Pics to come soon.

Hey, good to hear you're ok, and that the bike isn't too bad. I'll send you my spare set of stock signals if you want them free of charge. Just let me know and I'll get them your way.

Glad you came out OK! I know the roads around here are still pretty "green" and
very dirty right now with some of the salt/sand/cinders laying on the edges of the
wheel tracks. We all need to be very careful this time of year!


Oh yeah and remember ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time)!

Glad you're OK bro. I've got my stock bars and footpegs still if you want them. I'll send them to you free of charge too if you like. I've got shipping covered. PM me an address.

Sorry to hear what happened, but am very glad to hear how tough out bikes are. It's amazing you had a getoff at that speed and that's all the damage you did?

Shaun:

Your footpegs are on the way. Take care. Don't worry about payment or shipping. Pay it forward to the next brother in need.
