Default It finally happened. Layed it down in a big way...

Hey guys,

It finally happened. I laid my m50 down around a corner going 35 mph. It was raining when i went to school... but it had stopped when I came home. Looked all warm and sunny outside and my stupid ass didn't even think about paint still being super slippery. Went around a bend with one of those arrows painted on 2/3'ds of the road. Hit the paint and the tires just went right out from under me. BAM! on my side. Very glad I was wearing full armor. Rainproof fieldsheer legs with hip and knee armor (landed right on my hip). then I slid around on my tourmaster Intake Air 2 jacket. Fun stuff rly... then I got to stand up in a hurry and run out of the road and wait for all the cars to stop before I ran back and got my bike.

No damage sustained whatsoever to my body thank the lord.

Bike is messed up to some degree. Hadda have it towed to the dealer, won't know the extent for some time. Handlebars are bent, right grip demolished. right peg bent... possible frame damage where it connects. Rear brake lever damaged (moves wildly far), Front brake lever is now well above the height level of the right grip All in all, it was a fun day. I hope I have half a cent ot my name by the time this is fixed... *sadface*

Enough about me...
How have you guys been?
