On this note, absolutely make sure you have the proper gear (and your passenger when you get there)! It's inevitable. 2 kinds of bikers, those that have gone down and those that will go down. Somewhere between gear and luck I walked away from low siding my old superhawk in morrison canyon, and then hitting a deer in the same damn canyon. Gear FTW!
