Glad your OK. Thanks for the pics.
FUZZY BALLS!!!You peeps have got to knock this sheite off!! :huh:
Man glad your O.K. I can see why you were dizzy after looking at that face shield. Those scratches are pretty deep.
Dammmm! take it easy people.
heh heh, nope. 2nd with the revs up, makes the roll on more exciting. :blink:And at this rate none of us will be able to afford the insurance.Glad to hear that you're more-or-less OK. Replacing a broken bike is what we pay the insurance for. Good job on the ATGATT, which certainly saved you from much worse injuries.
V65 were you in 5th gear on that corner?
This road is four miles from my house, not my first time up there, and not the fastest i've ever been on it. Something was different that day, in hindsight I should have warmed the tires more and dropped a few psi. Might have saved the day. Any way you look at it, rider error.What tires were you using?
You mentioned tire pressure that you used. Were tires up to temp..or a little bit cold still?
Have to say i'm going to miss it, man the feej in 2nd at about 7k rpm is a rip roaring beast. will have to save that for the straights i guess. maybe i should get a 'busa :lol:2nd gear, hammering the throttle at 60 mph? Have you considered maybe you're getting a little old to be hunting for adrenaline rushes?
Well, that certainly was above and beyond the call....Yes Howie I did it for you.
You're not as young and quick as you used to be V65, hammer 3rd gear instead of 2nd in the future. Not quite the hit, but still warps time and space, just doesn't break the back loose so easy.Have to say i'm going to miss it, man the feej in 2nd at about 7k rpm is a rip roaring beast. will have to save that for the straights i guess. maybe i should get a 'busa :lol:
I think that he got the friction burn from inside the jacket. His Web page with a more complete write-up stated that the outside of the jacket arm held up. This is why I'm nervous about the loose fit of the Turbine, coupled with my weight loss. I would probably suffer the same fate, if not worse, if I had a similar accident today.I'm dissapointed in the road rash you got through the Rev'it jacket. Did you have the standard back pad in the jacket or did you upgrade to the full CE approved back pad?
