Well guys Thanks for all your feedback. But I write to you tonight in pain...emotionally mostly. Today after I waxed my bike w/ Zymol (great wax), I decided to jump on the freeway for a little cruise before work...Well, I dumped it on the entrance ramp doing about fifty. I couldn't believe it, I am really really really really, really disappointed, angry, irate, sad, and lucky. I was going though the curves, the back tires started losing traction...still glossy cause they're brand new, and it was either stay in the turn and hope I catch some grip, or straighten out and try slowing down. I chose the latter. Well, I couldn't stop in time, as soon as I sat up I was in the ditch on my side heading right for the drainage post...my shoulder and head absorbed most of the impact. Thanks to all the motorists that just kept driving, I had to push the bike up from my tangled body, and stand it up. She fired right back up. Every possible plastic piece is cracked on the kickstand side. My shin busted my shifter knob off, and my handle bars are a little tourqed. But, I rode it home, got cleaned up, and dropped it off at the shop before work...I didn't feen ounce of pain until 2 or 3 hours after the crash. I'm embarrassed. I can't wait till I get 'er back. Sorry guys, I let you down. |
