Default Man down

Yep just like the title. I crashed the other night. Sucks the brakes locked up when I seen a deer and it felt almost like hydro plane. It started to drift to the right the rear of the bike and threw me off before I could even blink. Here is the damage.

Glad to hear that you are okay, but why did you lock up the brakes?

I'm guessing because he saw a deer, panicked, and grabbed alittle too much brake. Sht happens when your adrenaline is racing.

locking either wheel up is easy enough to do on a panic stop situation...realizing it and reacting accordingly can be difficult. a front tire lock you want to release the brake and reapply if you have the chance, while a rear lock you want to keep locked up.

sucks that you wrecked man...i hope that you are okay, your ride can be fixed

looking at the damage there...how's your insurance?? if you got full coverage, there is definitely a chance it'll be totaled out.

I'll be fine just some cuts here and there nothing big. For insurance I have only liability at the moment so that really sucks there. Otherwise I am a handy man should be able to fix it just need some parts haha.
