pidjones said:According to my GPS, about a 49 mph get-off in the middle of heavy I-40 traffic downtown Knoxville last month. Luckily no contact with anything but the asphalt. My fault, shouldn't have been there. Looked to merge right and then when I looked forward the SUV in front was getting real big real fast. I must have grabbed too much brake (front or rear I don't know). Stopped tumbling looking up at sky in the middle of three lanes. Bike ended up (according to GPS again, I was a bit out of it) off the road in an exit median. Ground both engine guards and rear skid bars down, ground lots of plastic, bent a radiator. I was lucky (and ATGATT) to only bruise a lot and crack my left wrist.
Rode her home today and it felt SO GOOD to be back on 2 wheels.
