well, I went down on saturday up in some canyons. story short it was a combo of upshifting when I shouldn't have(before a corner) didn't mean to, and sand on the bind side of the corner. after a second or so into the corner, I knew I wasn't gonna make it, so I brought it back upright since there was a gravel shoulder on the outside of the turn. I braked and I was going about 40mph when I hit the gravel and dirt shoulder, I feathered the brakes as best I could, then I hit a rock which destroyed my crankcase cover. That caused the bike to flip. I went over handlebars, slid on the gravel for about 100 feet or so. Thank god for leather gear. I was wearing my helmet, leather jacket, and carhart logging pants. That stuff saved my ass. I only have a little scrape on my right knee. But my whole body is sore the day after I woke up. so my bike is not too fucked up from what I understand. the crankcase cover is fuggered up, my mirrors broke off, a dent in the gas tank. I got some pictures with my cell phone. NOt sure how to post them, if someone wants to help me let me know and I'll send them to you.
