Did you not see my warning?
And we know this how? Not by the board home page I'm reading...
There are informants among us.
I actually pay this informant fairly well, He is a little green man who got this information the last time he was "probing" MSC. He actually mind controlled Scab to stab himself. I (he) could tell you how a truck in West Virgini "popped" out of gear. TWN is next
Glad you're OK. And the damage is only cosmetic (to match the owner
)
That is one sick way of trying to rationalize putting miles on the weejer.
Insurance ?
Ah-HAH! Now I know were to send the repair bill! You put the bad juju on me! :bleh:
The more of these I see, the slower I go. At this rate, I'll be jockeying for position with speedwalkers by summers end. Glad you're ok, you &*$#+@ %#&^! On another note, when are folks gonna realize these aren't R1's? Who's gonna be the next dead one?
You, know, I'd agree with you radman except I was going along a codger-in-a-Buick speed. Really. :yes:
Lessee if I can answer some of your questions...
It's a non ABS and no, repeating the same situation on an ABS would still have me sucking Ojai dust. ABS won't help stupidity.
Yes, I had the front brake covered and that is the brake I mostly used to slow before/at turn in. Once I figger'd out I was in trouble it was all over for me at that point. I still used the front and rear brakes, but once I hit gravel I let off the front and tried to modulate the rear. When it was clear that the big berm at the end of the run-off was fast approaching, I started to apply front brakes slowly, but the front washed out and down I went. ABS may have sent me a bit closer to the berm, dunno.
As to the cause of lost focus... I have no freakin' idea. One minute I'm carving a gentle and familiar series of esses and the next I find myself in trouble. I do remember looking through the corner (as much as you can in that section) and then I was standing up and not leaned over. No nekkid wimminz on the side of the road or nuttin'.
And yeah, I use way, way too much rear brake and I've been truly trying to brake (ha-ha, get it?) that habit, so I've been focusing on that.
Today's update on my owwies... I'm pretty sure a cracked a rib or two and something is amiss in my right shoulder. I think it's mostly bruising, but I'll be off to get some X-rays shortly. Dr. Daniels tried, but his prescription didn't work too well. Ouch.
Iggy, that's too friggin' funny. But, please try not to make me laugh for a while, k? It hurts too damn much.
