i've had the bike since last saturday (june 19). So far i've ridden the bike 4 times and so far i've crashed 3 times! the first two were no big deal other than being sore the next day, but the third one (Monday night)...what a pounding!
all i did was slow down for a corner and i guess i laid on the brake a little heavy. the front tire lost traction and i ate shit. i'm guessing i caught the bars coming off the bike cause there were no big stones on the ground. i got up after the crash and kicked the bike over and rode back to where my bro was. i got off and laid in the grass for quite sometime to shake the sick feeling in my stomach. when i went to stand up i started to black out and go into shock a little bit. i figured that this might be a good time to go to either call a meat wagon or get a ride to the hospital ASAP.
i got some x-rays and whatnot and it seems like all my little bones are still in one piece, thank God! they shot me in the arm with some good gear and i got the hell out of there!
i'm feeling much better after a few days. i managed to kick start the bike last night and with that i just HAD to go for a little ride! i had to get back up on my horse!
snoman, i'll be seeing you on the weekend!

I'm glad your going to keep riding. After you crash you got to get back on it , if not you got a bad fear when you do finally get back on it and thats not a good thing to have. I hope I do see you guys the weekend. Crash On
P.S They say if you don't crash atleast once a week you not riding hard enough. :div20:

i cracked the visor off this winter on snowmobile. it's now taped on with a monsterous amount of duct tape, never to come off again! :div20:

had a nice new Thor chest protector. it doesn't look very new anymore but i certainly don't look like a poser!

So this is what you've been up to since I spoke to you last!
I'm pretty pissed I missed that trip to Todds the other weekend, but I had to work Sunday morning. The worst kind of work too - not labor but paperwork. Had to have the brain intact for that one...
I'm gonna be kinda in and out of town for the next couple of weeks, but would like to get a trip up there sometime soon if you guys are game!
