God I'm always late to the party, but sorry to hear you went down. But when I went through my motorcycle safety course the instructors i had really hammered the fact that you can't brake a motorcycle hard let alone at all in a turn. You have straighten the bike then brake to do it safely. Since I ride in heavy traffic a lot, I regularly practice emergency braking including in a turn so hopefully next time I react I stand a prayer of doing the right thing. Main thing though, is get well ride safe and learn from the experience.

Since the beginning of time, civilizations have made vehicles with 4... 4 wheels.

Then we got spunky and put an engine on it.....

There is no such thing as a stable bike...

I respectfully refute your position sir.


I submit for your inspection. Prehistoric man. Riding a unicycle.

lol, in all seriousness.. it makes perfect sense to ride on four wheels...

but my thing is its so freaking boring. I got to have that adrenaline rush, and I can't get it out of driving my cavalier... that just doesn't do it for me.
