Default I went down today too :(

Wasn't going fast. I was turning into a road about 15-20 MPH. No one around. Hit some loose gravel and low slide. Slider took most of the damage. My cover is completely torn up, need new levers, bar ends, mirrors, and a new paint job. Put a few scrapes on my leg. I didn't completely fall over though.

Dang it! Glad you're okay, sorry for the bike. Glad I did all my stoopidriding (not saying you were stoopid, flame me not) last week! As the Summer progressed, I began to lean into the turns farther. It takes more energy to keep the bike upright, and I'm getting lax. This rash of riders down is a wake-up call for me, thanks, and good luck be on you! Pace, Gris.

(sigh) What the hell is going on these days?!

Well, on the bright side, at least no one is kicking the can. Thank God.
