Crashed

[Mani]

Went out for a ride with few friends on a local windy highway. This was about a 400 mile loop that we do once a month or so. Barely into the ride, about 10 miles, coming out of a right hand corner, the front end washed out. Hit the ground face first at about 80 Mph and slid for about 50 feet. I'm so glad I had all my gear on. Didn't get one scratch on me but I feel like I just got hit by a hammer.

Bad scene brother. My deepest sympathies to the bike. But its great to hear that you were lucky enough not to get any injury, thanks to your harness. :rolleyes:

[Pericles]

Ouch.

Thanks guys. Not too bad at all considering the exit

Even my eye lids hurt right now

[Devinda_Z]

call me chicken , but this is exactly why i stick to 4 wheels and insist on having more metal between me n the the tarmac!

...i take it your eye lids hurt after many post crash hours of silent meditation thanking the stars and all possible deities after what can be billed a lucky escape!

....is this one of those times your wishing you'd stuck with the Supra?

anyways good to hear your alright!

:0 bad scene bro...

you bikers are really blessed though. I constantly find myself amazed at how, especially in moto GP, they take spills at over 200Mph, slide for a good kilometer, and get up, walk away and grab a sandwhich... fortune favours the brave i guess

curious to know if this incident put you off riding in anyway?

i'm gonna take a wild guess here and predict that the answer will be a resounding "no"...

unless his wife/mother/GF has the last say....

WOW DUDE, glad you're okay. Good thing you had sliders on there and that saved the bike somewhat

It's like having a Chinese chick and a Russian chick. Two different rides

Yes. If it wasn't for the sliders there would be lot more damage.
