Oh well shit happens. Hopefully you learn from your mistakes. Keep the rubber down.

Surprisingly enough, the bike wasn't bad at all...left fairing mostly. I on the underhand will always be reminded of this learning experience with a very messed up knee. If you watch the clip you will see the right knee hits the ground really hard. I estimate my speed at about 55mph. Still riding! Still stuntin! Meo

That bites the weenie man.....I'm originally from Sac. Where do you live?? Are you familiar with the Roseville area? My brother rides an 02 929, custom blue. Just curious if you ride with him.

what do you think ski? Our trusty old saying is in order here I think. "Just don't panic and you'll be fine." You panic and you crash. If you would have stayed on the bike and let off the gas you probably would have been fine. Glad your ok dude! :D

Well I didn't really panic, but the use of the rear brake would have been nice. It launched so quick I was way over the balance point before i could react. Lesson learned.

man that sux!! that is why I try to keep both wheels on the ground. Glad your ok, besides the knee, looks like it twisted backwards or something. Good thing you had your gear on.
