Default Not a good night 4 me either!

Was leaving my house for ride at night then about a mile away from home I was approaching a turn. Applied to much rear brakes, locked up and starting sliding. When I finally regain control of the bike it was to late. I hit gravel then grass then BAM! "Hi ground, how you doing tonight" Slid about 10-15 feet. My whole left side fairing is scratched. Also my shift lever broke had to ride home in first gear. Left with skid marks on my forarm and left side of stomach. Helmet and jacket helped alot. My poor GSXR 600. I thanked God that I still have everything intacted (I think).

Man, how do you guys do this? This forum is populated by dropped bike threads! Sure, I have one in here too, but man, you sport guys like to eat pavement a lot.
