I had that happen tonight too. It was only a pucker factor of 4, but the ass end kicked out a little. There were three rocks in my line so I decided to go through them all! That'sll learn those rocks!

Not to nit pick but....

WTF are you guys doing taking corners at "85" or "60" on the street. Don't you know that cagers litter like the world is a trash can. Trust me all it takes is 1 AA battery and you will be looking up at the world from the flat of your back.

Tweren't doing 85 or 60. Was closer to 45mph turning off the main road. 99% of the time it's beautiful practically virgin asphalt - that day there was gravel. But had the worst happened ... I was wearing boots, gloves, helmet and armor high and low. And I'm self-insured so wouldn't have cost nobody nothin to fix my bike.

Actually I do take corners at 60-120. But I do know the roads and i am always lookin for stuff on the road as I go around it.

thats sux, glad u kept it up though!! I will never lean that far on the street, I have had way too many friends do that and hit a small round pebble and lose it leaning that far. I like to keep some, what do you call them? chicken strips or whatever, on the edge tires.
