Shame on your for tipping that nice motorcycle over all by yourself like that!

Been there and done that. I'm willing to bet, from looking at the video, that you got a little oil or sand under the tire and at max lean simply rode off the edge of the front tire and washing it out from under yourself. That one was pretty small potatoes. I did one like that, but at 60 mph on a mountain road. Bent her over into a turn, caught a wisp of sand under the front tire at max lean and found myself sliding off onto the shoulder on my back. Fortunately was wearing a full set of racing leathers. Pretty embarrassing though as the first vehicle to stop and render aid was the last guy I had passed a mile or so earlier, and had to listen to his "I told you so" comments.

Of course not; it's not like you are a Yankee!

Bye now . . .

Ouch! C'mon now brother. Some are born "not yankee," and others are made "not yankee." Anybody on this forum is my brudda from another mudda.

ITTECH, welcome to the forum. Question.... did you have your carry license in Georgia?

Welcome to the forum, wiredgeorge! (I had to go back and retype your handle, as the first time it came out "weirdgeorge." )

What is your website address?

Now TAM don't go getting our new member in trouble by asking him to advertise his business before he has 45 posts - Member - status. Rule 18.

PM each other.

Ooops! Sorry. I forgot. I just have an interest in vintage Japanese carburetors - former road racer, and all that....

Hey Flint! Thanks for referring me over here. Seems like a good place to get the straight scoop on CHL.

I am married (20 years this coming July) and have one son who just turned 18 a few days ago. I'm a Christian, a guitar player (44 years now), and I play in my church's worship band. I've recently picked up hunting as a hobby, but I've been a rifle shooter for years and enjoy my trips to the range. I am, among other things, a web programmer, and I'm involved in several other gun-related discussion boards, including the friendliest one in Texas (where I am the webmaster) - huntingtexasonline.com - as well as a political discussion board that I've owned for years at annoyedman.com.
