Default ITS DONE!! ITS DOWN!!

Originally posted by Ghost on another forum...

...so there we are, entering 31 North, just past McDonalds in Clinton....when the rear tire of Woody's freshly fixed 2004 CRR600RR looses its grip and sends Woody and the bike skidding across 31 WITH on coming traffic in not one, but two lanes....thank god for the lady/man(yeah it was a man dressed as a women, I DON'T KNOW?!?!?) hit his/her brakes and missed sean by about 10 feet....I thought he was a goner....I thought I was going to have to be securing an accident scene with a fatality.....but Woody "safely" bounced and tumbled across all three lanes and the divider on the other side stopped him....same with the bike. I watched all this happen and I pull over my bike and go to check on him, but by the time I get there he is on his feet and I promptly go retreve the bike which is laying on the road fifty to seventy five feet north of us resting up against the divider. I move it off the the side of the road and turn to see that 4 cops respond, 1 State and 3 Clinton Township (Sean's Co-workers), then an ambulance arrives, of which we know the members....was a great time for Woody....a nice Easter present....he is okay and no rash or anything luckally....just a bruised ego and bike....

Glad your safe!! Close call man, might as well be catholic today if you arent already. 06 Tail will fit, good luck with the repairs. How did the vortex slider hold up? There have been some mixed reviews about them and I am curious. Thanks is advance!

alum pucks are a bad ideal. They dont slide like derlin does. If you ha alum on this crash it could have caught the pavement n done more damage to you bike. They did their job as designed.

Sucks about your bike but least you walked away. Find out why the rear gave way?

Sorry about the wreck bro but glad your safe. From the glances I took doesnt look like that bad of damage. Hope all works out and make sure if youve got any issues on pain have them checked out better to find out now than later.
