Default Falls can come true, it can happen to you...

If you are among the very few who ride.........

That was supposed to be to the tune of "Young at heart".

Rx3732 are on our way to the Dallas area ride this morning and I screwed it up and didn't make it. Just a little road rash and a sore wrist but other than that I am fine.

We were coming around a pretty big turn and Rx was in the lead.He had the inside track and I was on the outside. We were going well within resonable speed for the turn and as we hit the middle of it my front tire did a jerk and pushed the bike outside the line. I instantly knew I was going into the rail so I pushed off to left and did a superman slide on the asphalt. The bike did I solid right into one of the posts as I slid past it.

Pics to follow.

FYI. If it god forbid ever happens again, If you are a HOG member, they have a guy that has a special truck for motorcycles. Your bike laying on the side of that flatbed makes a grown man cry.

Sorry to see that happen. I feel for you. The bike can be fixed or replaced as long as you are ok thats all that matters.
