Thanks for all the replies and kind words of concern guys. I should mention that I was travelling very slowly and was as a virtual stop as I bottomed out. A little more speed may have saved the day.

As to looking for some legal action, here in Canada it is much more difficult to sue people. As a matter of fact, I cant even find out who owns the laneway (not the city)

Ride Safe...thanks again

 

Another thing to watch out for is PAINT on speed bumps. I dropped a bike many years ago on a speed bump that was painted. There was some morning dew on it and that is all it took.
The only good part was that it happened on my old GPZ1100. Bike has been gone for many years!!

 

Glad you are ok. Thanks for the heads up. Crossed over a bunch and never had a problem.

 

You're supposed to wheelie over those

 

thanks for the info I will watch out for them ... never heard or thought of it before
