Looks like someone was having fun. Nice scenery !! Down here, we've got Everglades and swamps. Lots of long straight roads.

oacuna,

It looks your bike is missing left side cover. Have you checked out this site? http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/...0001987-90.htm

This is going to sound stupid...but I changed the oil a while back. I don't know why I took the left cover off, but I didn't put it back on right ( I left some screws out.) I went inside and grabbed a bite to eat. When I came outside I was eager to ride and forgot I didn't put all the screws in. Whoops...95mph on the highway 2 miles later. I managed to pick it up later, but I haven't reattached it because the mounts where the screws go are broken. I am debating redoing the entire bike....or fixing the cover and mounting it.

I had done same kind of thing. While I had been riding my another bike, I lost a brand new tank badge. It costed me $65 a piece. I set the badge on the side of 1978 CB750F's fresh re-painted fuel tank temporarily, and looked at that satisfactorily... but forgot to tap it into the bracket with the hardware... Then, went to ride on highway. I heard something "cha-ching.." sound, but had not been noticed for a couple days....oh well.. Did I order another one? Yes, I did.. Total $130..gee..

We all make mistakes....At least it wasn't a rear wheel you lost LOL

If you look at some of the pics you'll notice there are cliffs on either side of the road. Sometime between 50-100ft. Toward the end of my ride...the road was blocked off and there were a lot of officers looking over the side. A car had driven off the side! I was going to take a picture but...I don't think the officers would have liked that. The ride is awesome...I used to tear it up with my CBRf4i going 50mph through 15mph turns...but since a few of my friends crashed, I just ride to enjoy it. I would have taken my CBRf4i, but it's too tempting to go fast.
