Last Tuesday I was on lunch headed to an office to pick up a pay check when just after taking a right turn and headed straight my front end whipped out from under me with zero warning. Thankfully years of skiing and Mtn biking gave me the instinctive reaction to tuck and roll where I came up with negligible injuries, just some minor tweaks and pulled muscles. I figure I was doing about 40 kmh, my first street getoff of any speed. 2 fire trucks, 2 police cars and an ambulance were there within 15 minutes. I pointed out the big puddle of oil on the road to the first fire guys. Thanks for coming by!
The sad result was the bike slid about 50' further and ground through the valve cover and chewed up the signal light plastics.
Good thing the side bags were on to keep that end of the bike off the ground.
So here's me throwing out to the community looking for a few spare parts. Anyone?
And I just had them repainted!
But it still works...
