Dallas Down, Bash's Fault........

[dallas]

A little back ground to this story:

Bash, Scott and Dallas went out for a short after work ride today. As boys do, we were kinda pushing the limits and I paid the price for that.

So, I went to go into a slight right-hander today and the apex of the turn was right on top of a little hill. Don't know exactly what I was thinking, but as I started to negotiate my line, I hit some loose gravel and the next thing I know, I am in a high-side scenario. When the dust settled, my bike was upside down on a big cluster of rocks and I was thrown down to the base of the cluster. The damage to the bike is mostly cosmetic(rash on the bodywork and some scratches on the frame), but it could stand to have a new shift lever as mine is now bent. I was able to ride the bike home with no problems. As for me, the right side of my body is a little banged up (arm and shoulder mostly) and I think the top of my left knee caught a barend as I was bucked off because it feels like I am getting a bruise. Luckily I was wearing all my gear or it would have alot worse.

Bash got there just in time to see me jump up and try to pick up my bike. Even though he was behind me, I am still trying to find a way to blame it on him!!!!!

WTF, glad you're OK Dallas. The beginning of this season is looking a bit rough for the SOCO crowd. What can be said that hasn't already?
Again glad it wasn't worse, and minor bumps and scratches to you and the bike...

Squid wreaking that nice R1 I told you it was to much bike for you.

[64BonnieLass]

NICE!!!!! Next time I see you all, in all kindess of course, I CAN KICK ALL YOUR ASSES AT THE VERY SAME TIME.

[GixxerCarrie]

Awww....Dallas..I'm sorry to hear. And I jus saw the pretty picture at Bostons. We all do it...just fix er up...and back on the road we go...I'm thankful to hear you are ok!

[gsxrscott]

HA HA !!!!!!!!

[dallas]

HA HA !!!!!!!!

Ok Jackass, I didn't want to do this, but it is now officially your fault too because I was trying to keep up with you. Then again, as soon as Bash realized I was ok, he laughed his ass off too..................

Squidly is as squidly does.............

Kinda funny that you are calling someone out for being a squid and wrecking. Are you the pot or the kettle?

[MetaLord 9]

Dude. Not the new R1??!?!?!?!?! at least you took pictures

[Devaclis]

that sucks dude. I told you that you were built like a Harley rider. Leave the sportbikes to us young guys.

Glad you are OK too man. OLD man.

[MetaLord 9]

maybe you can pick up some parts in Japan!

[dallas]

Dude. Not the new R1??!?!?!?!?! at least you took pictures

When Bash arrived on the scene, I think he was more concerned about me than whipping out his camera, but then joking about it later, we probably should have at least taken a pic of me trying to pick it back up.

[zetaetatheta]

Glad to hear you're okay Dallas.

[dallas]

that sucks dude. I told you that you were built like a Harley rider. Leave the sportbikes to us young guys.

Glad you are OK too man. OLD man.

A Hardly could not have done even half the stuff we were doing yesterday. I don't care how old and used up this body looks, I am still young at heart.

[dallas]

maybe you can pick up some parts in Japan!

I am already anticipating the purchase of a few trinkets........

[dallas]

Glad to hear you're okay Dallas.

When I woke up this morning, the top of my knee has a little bruise, but other than that, I am back to 100%.

Awww....Dallas..I'm sorry to hear. And I jus saw the pretty picture at Bostons. We all do it...just fix er up...and back on the road we go...I'm thankful to hear you are ok!

Yep, WE all do that.?......

[mtnairlover]

Freakin sucks man! How many times have I said in group ride talks...DON'T TRY TO KEEP UP!!!!

Ok, got that outta my system. Boys will be boys I guess, and I'm glad you're none the worse for the wear. Betcha you're gonna get back up on that bike and try it again though, aren't ya?

Wanna see an awesome pic from one of my crashes? This'll make ya feel better?...




I'm betting that's not the look on Bash's face now was it?

[dallas]

I'm betting that's not the look on Bash's face now was it?

I believe there were tears, but that was only because he was laughing soo hard..........

There were some pictures of the ride, maybe Bash or Scott can post a couple up seeing how I didn't bring a camera. I believe there are some before and after incident pictures.

[Matty]

good to hear you ok.

[Devaclis]

Man, Dallas, you should go ride for a while. Soak it in. Post pics of you in your 1 piece track suit. You know, for me.

[Horsman]

Bash got there just in time to see me jump up and try to pick up my bike. Even though he was behind me, I am still trying to find a way to blame it on him!!!!!

Damn it Bash, He knows he needs to stay atleast 3 miles behind any of our rides... I almost highsided when I heard he was even riding in this state.

I am sorry to hear about your bike, I am really glad you are ok.

[Nick_Ninja]

Guess it's 'broken in' now. Fix it up and ride it like you stole it.

[Dave]

When first reading the post title I expected this to be a joke- seriously though, sorry to learn of this and glad you’re OK!

My concern now is to the emotional injuries that all those involved may have received. Hopefully no one caught up in this incident will require any “couch time.”
