Unhappy Me too... :(

I lowsided today. Was going about 25. Not too much damage. Scuffs on the lower, upper bar end, mirror, and frame slider.

Anyone know where I can get replacement pucks for my t-rex sliders?

Also, I ripped the right elbow pad holder on my joe rocket ballistic 2.0 jacket. Any ideas how to go about getting this fixed?

Yeah, I'm fine. Sore elbow and back. Bruised ego. Nothing a couple of vicodin can't fix. I was just out there cleaning up the rash and didn't even think to take pics. I'll shoot a few tomorrow.
I still consider myself lucky. It didn't hurt anything I wasn't going to replace in my project anyway and my bike stopped just a couple feet from a light pole.

Come to think of it... I might be able to post a vid! My ex girl is in charge of security where it happened She said it might be a couple weeks before she gets a chance to work at that store though.

Not quite like that nate but i er...appreciate the sentiments. lol

Thanks sprock.

Man I'm glad I got those sliders from Zach when I did. They saved my right lower. If I had been doing thirty I don't think they would have though. Now I just got a couple of small flat spots to sand out.

The more I think about it the more I can't believe that of all the cagers around nobody stopped to see if I was ok...
I'm rather baffled by this. Whether I'm on the bike or in a cage and I see someone who might be hurt (whether on a bike or in a cage) I'm going to stop and make sure they're ok (despite what I posted as my FB status when I got home...)

Facebook status: To all of the people in cages who watched me crash today in Greenville and didn't stop to offer help: Thanks! I appreciate it! I'll remember that next time you're pinned beneath your steering wheel because you thought you had time to pull out in front of that semi!

What are you guys thoughts? Ever gone down and have people act like they didn't see anything?

Edit: Not quite like that either nate. lol. Please! by all means feel free to keep guessing! I like your guesses so far!

Actually when I lowsided my F3, a little old lady offered to help me pick her back up. She had to be in her late 60s

Backspinning Groin Kick to the Ego!
