It was a banked offramp that I take every day and I usualy drop into 4th then straighten up then brake twardes the stop but I was too high in the turn and to fast so it was either over shoot the turn wich would be really ugly or try to drag as much as i could to make the turn but it didnt. After looking at the bike today it looks like the front peg and brake pedal popped my front tire off the ground and thats how I lost it. LO-RIDER I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt and a DOT half helmet. The jeans are trash the sweatshirt faired ok with only 3 small holes and thank god I had a DOT benie on as my head appears to have hit the road 2 times. I think a novelty helmet would have sent me to the emergency room!

 

been there done that, spent the past 8 mos. trying to recover, glad to hear you had no injuries, bikes can be repaired, it takes longer for these old bodies to recover. Keep the faith...

 

Come on now I was only trying to make a point of how much it would hurt my feelings about damaging my ride.

 

Glad your ok....

 

i was going round a roundabout to fast and leaning over to far , and the peggs grounded and pivited up , i raised my fooot as it was dragging a bit and the exhaust heat shield holder bolts dug in and bounced the bike over the other way , if there had been someone beside me, id have been bolloxed , didnt take me long to realise nightsters dont lean over as far as the other bikes ive had , glad your fine
