Default My wreck

well as unspetacular and plain as it was, I hope that any future ones are the same.

story:

rode 400 miles over a weekend and stayed up too late, rode home in bad wind = I was tired and worn out. I was turning into my subdivision abotu 100 feet from my house when it happened.

a 90° right hand turn, I leaned pretty hard, but felt i was going to slow for as far as I leaned and was worried that I would low side, so I stood it up and ran over a curb into the median and landed in the grass. I was fine except for some grass stains, the front upper was cracked with some scratches along the bottom of the side fairing.

moral of the story > if you commit to a turn commit to it!, don't focus on where you don't want to go,

If i had kept my head about it, I think i could have saved it, but i didn't so here my first wreck:

the damage:

happy that you're okay!

remember, if you're too tired, red bull gives you concentration.
