    glad to hear you're intact. I did almost the same thing last night on my drive home. I'm still not sure how I kept it upright with the front wheel sliding.

    Hope you get a nice insurance payout... remember to claim your gear, too... with my insurance anything that contacts the pavement is considered damaged and gets replaced

    Sounds like you had a washout. Normally, you get that in the mud or dirt. My guess is you tried to counter steer right before you found yourself sitting on the pavement. Washouts happen quick.

    Good to hear you are OK.

    put something on and stay in that position.
    Looks like the bike in binned. Glad to hear you're okay, though. If the frame isn't twisted maybe you could buy it back for a song and put all the plastic bits that exploded back on it.

    Most importantly, you're fine.


    That isn't like any part of Maryland I know. This probably wouldn't have happened in Glen Burnie. :lol3

    Extremely glad you are OK other than being banged up a little bit. Also, sad to see that bike all tore up but as you said, there will be another to take its place.

    Were you in a curve when it happened? I can't tell by the photos. I assume you were leaned and hit a slick spot---but wasn't sure.

    Again, glad you came out of it basically uninjured.

    Damn, my buddy rides an ST. Be thankful for what you have today, not what got broke. Thats what insurance is for.
