well it finally happened, after 14 years of street riding. I shifted a 1st to 2nd gear wheelie on my 04 600, which is nothing new, it started to loop, then weave while still over the balance point. I chopped the throttle, then coasted for what seemed like forever. it finally came down, but at an angle from weaving which sent me onto the gravel shoulder of the road. i stayed relaxed and just kind of coasted off into the ditch at about 50 mph. the bike lowsided, dug into the dirt, then launched me off. all i saw was grass rushing past my face shield. my homies told me the bike flew up in the air and did a couple cartwheels. i am sore, but ok. the bike only suffered damage to the side fairings, and scratched the tank, and broke the mirrors off! I guess i was pretty lucky considering the speed i was rolling at. I have always liked that cadillac white with the blue pearl anyway..................the bitch of it is we had the camera out that day and they missed the crash. :arsenal
