Default And down I went....

So I was out exploring ths morning and found me a 4x4 trail. it had some rutty sections and the trail was very sandy......
Well...my back tire fellinto a rut and down I went at about 15-20 mph. Now I have a crease line in the handguard on the right side because it bent and got stuck on the brake lever. well..that and I got a little sandy....

Also I corrected the tire pressure and it no longer feels like a deathwish at 60 mph ....lol

My biff consisted of catching a rut and jack-knifing the front end..... I gotta get some chest protection....handlebars jutting into the chest hurts.

BTW racing your buddy with his new 300EX Quad at nine at night is not usually a good idea........ I was winning until I biffed.

The only good thing about sand, is it softens the impact when you crash.....lol..

Crashing Sucks!! [sm=smiley18.gif]

Ha just because it gets every where and is hard to clean lol

I used toi ride the dunes all the time and I love the sand. If I had of crashed on some hard terrain like I have in the sand I would be dead. Its like landing on a pillow.lol
