Default Rider Down....

You guessed it... I went down last night around midnight.

I started the bike, l left my work parking lot and proceeded about 300' down the road and started into a right hand sweeper when the front tire tucked on me.... I was going between 40-50 mph, this speed should not have put me down since I had very little lean angle, I figure that it was a combo of cold tires, oil spots on road and the dew had just fell.


I went for surgery to repair my left arm (again!) and also got some moderate rash on my right leg and thigh...

I aqm sure the bike is repairable...mainly gonna need fairings, headlights, brake lever, and foot pegs....

damn it man... that sucks.



gald its not worse, even thou that arm doesn't sound like a good thing at all.



hope they fix you up good as new.




oh and if it was still that stock front tire. I have read about more than one random low side that shouldn't have happened. I really do they these duncraps are as bad as the old 208s.
