A personal example of how full gear can save your ass!

"Holy shit" was my first though on seeing the bike! Glad you were geared up man, could have been way worse!

Weird place for the front end to wash too, I wonder if there was something on the road there? Doesn't look like there would have been enough lean angle.... unless you were doing 200mph+ (just what is your limit?)

Heal up quick dude

Well, my buddy that picked the bike up said there was a bit of gravel in the road, like the shit that falls out of a dump truck. I was moving pretty good. There had to have been something in the road, man. It felt too damn weird.

How long was it on fire, looks a little crispy

How hot was it that day, the new asphalt could of seeped some and tucked the front end pretty easy.
