Just a taste at around 11:55. Dropped the bike at around 12:20.
Probably not the alcohol, but I vote it is a crash, not a drop since you were riding it. As long as you aren't injured it is no big deal.

You mean to tell me you don't find watching a big, chest pounding, tire smoking burnout entertaining?

How dull... :-)

I agree destroying rubber you have to pay for (or ride home on) tends to dampen the fun factor (even more so if you brake hard parts on the bike)
But if you take the consequences out of the equation, they can be quite entertaining

I am a burn-out addict.

I went back to the "dreaded" curb today and i noticed the scratches on the curb as well as the sidewalk. They are about three feet long where the brake lever was grinding against the concrete then onto the asphalt where i can imagine the snap happened.also a nice bite out of the corner of the curb from the slider.It looks like the slider took the brunt of the fall. I wasnt going over 15 mph.(i am able to count this as my first fall/crash?) After thinking about it all day long and then going back to the spot its completely explainable.I took the corner too wide in a intersection with curbed sidewalks and the bike was still at an angle but not enough to jump the curb. I can see where my shoe slid to try and keep her up but...
you know the rest. Since i was at an angle i do not think that my light had illuminated the exact point where the curb began but still it was already past the point of being lit up so basically i am an *** with a scraped knee.


I found these as well. I have no idea what they are.
Fairing supports? I dont want to look too closely at the bike itself yet until i have time to take a magnifying glass and a toothbrush to it.

I will probably be tearing the whole bike down this year as soon as i can get all of the tools and replacement parts to do so.
Thankyou for the feedback guys.[sm=hail.gif]
