The ecchymosis / bruising about your tallus suggests that you twisted your ankle?

I have tried shifting to 3rd in that position but it just doesn't seem to want to happen....I guess this what happens if it does slip into
3rd grear with the front wheel pointed at the sun and stars. I may reconsider trying this any more as the results are not worth all the fun.

I forgot that we had a doctor in the house

That's sure what it feels like. I sprained my ankle badly when I was a kid, and this feels exactly the same (but worse). When I went down, I think my ankle was pulled under the side case of the bike, or possibly the swing arm.

I still have to go back and find out what happened. There was, as far as I can see, no good reason for me to go down where I did.
Stupid K270 got me again.

My wife's cousin owns a company that designs and makes the stunt cages and 12 o' clock bars for sport bikes. Maybe I will drop the 250 over to him and see if he can make some for our little bikes.

Find out what happened, zomby?...no good reason to go down? Gee...that's always the case for me. I never plan ahead to have a crash...LOL!

No, I know what you mean. But even with the best tires, the right suspension setup, and the best intentions and technique, most of the time I'm zooming along without any awareness of impending doom when...bam!...I'm on the ground...almost like I was shot with an alien antigravity beam of some kind. I hate those kinds of deals. When you're not hurt enough that you walk back to the offending spot on the trail to see what the cause was, you often find nothing of any substance to put your finger on. I feel a lot better when I find a rock or stump hiding in the weeds that I clipped. When you don't find a nice, clear explanation as to why you crashed, that dark, creeping suggestion starts forming in your mind...my riding style sucks!...LOL!

Heal up well guys.
