Default It was a bad day!

I had been riding for about an hour around some nice roads and ended up on a unfamiliar road. I ended up taking a sharp 90 to the left and comng into the corner the front tire let go due to a fewsmall rocks. Luckily I was only going about 20 and I am a firm believer in frame sliders also.

I just wanted to get my feeling out. Sorry for complaining.

Sorry to hear about your get-off. Hopefully it's an easy fix to get your bike rolling again.

Where? 90 degree turns with rocks around them sounds like a Midwest state to me. This time of year I always too kit easy the first time through my favorite roads and if they were decent (rock free) I would turn around and let er rip. I have been in your position a few times and knock on wood have yet yo repeat it on the RC. I reserve soil samples for the track bike

Wild Child the movie made me feel all better. Thanks

I rashed up the sato's a little but I am going to try to polish it out. The slider really took the hit as the bike slide for a little while.

I had the helmet and jacket on so I still have all of my skin.

Yeah area51 it is a midwest state. I live in midstate IL. There are not too many good roads down here. The one I was one is usually pretty clear, but it happens.
