Default Down she went... (added pics)

Yup I ate **** today.

I got woke up early as heck to a family emergency. and only vehicle I had available was the bike. So as im running outside... it snowing! wtf with that? But family duty calls so I hop on the horse and take off.. only to eat **** out of my gravel driveway that is slick with snow.

a 550+lb bike is one heavy piece of equipment to pick up after just barely opening your eyes from a full nights rest. But got her up and off I went.

Once it stops snowing... it'll be time for damage control.

*Sigh* I feel dumb... But when ur in a hurry that is when bad things happen, right?

Yea it was a light dusting of snow.. enough to get the gravel wet. luckly I was still in my driveway so didnt have too much speed. I do see a crack in my fairing. ugh! and a few good scratches... seems all cosmetic..

as for the family issue things are ok. Nothing life or death.
