    But we all knew it was coming.

Not really interested in track riding, may pick up a KTM 690 Enduro R and ride trails. My little girl needs her dad around and this one could have easily killed me.

    I've been meaning to post about this forever.

    I lost the rear end on the center paint line. It had just recently been painted and was super slick. One of the firefighters slipped on it while carrying me to the helicopter and nearly dropped me, LOL.

    Got the whole thing on video though.
    A couple thoughts on this.
    First, it's great you're still with us, and your family still has their dad. Hope you heal up quickly.
    Stuff happens, more so if pushing the matter like we all have done.
    I have ridden fast for years, over 40, and have wrecked once, and have been taken out a couple times by others, so I can comment as I understand how the risks versus rewards scenarios happen, but.....
    Like double A ron stated, anyone who has rode with you in the last few years knew this was going to happen to you sooner or later.
    The poor choices you were making riding was a recipe for disaster.
    Passing on the right, passing on blind corners, passing everything was incredibly dangerous.
    Splitting cars where they are so freaked out they both go into the shoulder, and speeding everywhere has finally caught up to you.
    You got off relatively lucky, as it could've been fatal, and not only for you, but others as well who you put in danger.
    Please do everyone, yourself, and your family a huge favor, and never buy another bike, ever!
    If you think I'm being to harsh, good. It really needs to be said, and perhaps it will open your eyes and others to what happens when a person rides like you have.
    There is a time and place to go fast. Anyone can go fast. The trick is to know when to go slow, and have the maturity and self control to do just that.
    Please post up the video, I'm sure it will reveal exactly why you wrecked.
