    Bike Downed

    Well it finally happened. Me and the bike went down today. I am banged up a little but fine other than the typical scrapes and cuts. Knees, arms and knocked some more sense into me. So my riding days are over for a bit. The bike is all kinds of fucked up. Hope to see you all out there again soon. For now, I'm going to sit my ass on the couch and drink a beer. Peace out all.

    Woah....Glad your alright man. If you need help with either the bike or yourself...don't hesitate to ask...
    The cheapest mod that you can make to increase HP on two wheels is to remove the weight from the equation. In other words, put the spoon down once in a while and loose some fat off ur a*s ..lol.

    Re: Bike Downed

    Thanks for the comments. No stitches and my head is still attached...kinda. Darn gravel in the corner at 40, over corrected and down i go. Thank goodness the Bike gods didn't have it in for me yet. So it could have been worse.

    I'm blaming all this on Sascha...lmfao I trade helmets and I lose all my Star Power. I guess I ate the wrong darn mushroom and didn't power up right.

    Glad you're alright...the cuts and bruises keep us humble and frosty. I was in the same boat back in November. Keep us updated how the bike comes along.

    Your helmet was cursed, I'm convinced. We'll see what the shop says about his bike. We may have to step him up to a newer R1, but if we did that then he'll be able to catch me and we can't have that....now can we?

    Dutch, I'm glad you're ok, hun! You'll be back in the saddle in no time, you and the bike just need a little TLC.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.
