Default Went down today

I was out riding with my crew. I hit a blind curve and I guess I picked a bad line through it. All my front plastics have to be replaced, and I broke my right rearset. I got through without much more than a few bumps and bruises. My helmet got scratched up. I would hate to see what would have happened if I hadn't been wearing one.

Dude, that sucks! I am just glad that it didn't hurt you very much. The bike can get fixed real easy. But it still sucks that your baby got hurt. Again, glad your OK Bro!

Yeah. I am sore as hell now. That didn't end my day though. This is what I did when after the crash.

Ah man! That really sucks. Glad your alright, seriously. What exactly happened in the curve, I'm assuming you just went wide and slide laid it down. No stone, guard rail, back end swap out or anything?

I came out of a right curve that crested over a hill and there was the left hander... not a great curve. I picked a bad line through it and ended up in the grass where I lowsided, got thrown off the bike, and it flipped to the other side.
