Low side

[Obleo]

Well it happened, was in an accident yesterday. Gorgeous day out for a little putt about 10 miles from home. 18 year old girl in a5.0 mustang turned left in front of me ,I hit the brakes instead of hitting her head on at 45 mph. I keep clicking my flash to pass lights to no avail. Bike low sided and ended up about 150 feet down the road. I sliid about 50 feet. Banged up pretty good. Checked out at the ER.Will see how much damage estimate will be . The riding gear saved my bacon.armoured jacket and riding jeans duty boots 3/4 shoie helmet. Mark

I'm sad to read of this obleo. Glad to know that you are still around to write about it. Heal well.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I sure hope you are OK.

Does the bike have engine guards or sliders? How well did they work if you have them?

Yikes. Sorry to hear it. Hope you aren't banged up too bad.

Thanks for the warm wishes. Yes had engine guards ,with hyway

pegs mounted on them pegs slid around and punctuated the left engine case right at bottom oil everywhere,engine guards saved the engine other than the lower case.Iam pretty beat up, nothing broken,a few stitches on my right hand,must have hit the right side switches.
