| Streetfighter | you gotta go to bikenights to hear the story! jkI was takin the sweet turn @ mile marker 5 on reece hill rd. and i cut from the outside of the lane to the inside and on my way back to the outside part of the lane the back tire slipped out on sand. i got the wobbles for half a second. tried to save it. but before i knew it i was draggin knee on a striaght, headding for trees. i was sliding on my leathers, wheels of the bike first. then i realized i was down, and there was nothign i could do about it. i let go of the bike, then the tires caught traction. thats when all the damage happend. the bike ripped out from between my legs and started cart wheeling as i was sliding about one or two feet away from it. i roled over once in my entire slide. and my body never left my lane. after the bike did a few flips it ended up jammed into 3 trees. i got up took off my helmet and was like "wtf just happend?" does that some it up? wear gear guys! i was wearing full leathers. it saved me alot of pain. the next few days my muscles were achy and sore. but nothing major |

Do you have something against mirrors? lol, if I remember your 954 didn't have them either. I think it looks slicker w/o them, but I do like being about to look around. btw, I think you should lose the red 1000 stickers on the tail. doesn't flow with the bike. |
