damn... glad your alright bro... what caused ya to go down?
A momentary lapse in judgement. I got just a bit to daring and comfortable on a road I didn't know. I was less than a half hour from home. Came just a touch too hot into the corner and ran out of tire.

Nothing I can do about it at this point. I'm just glad the bike isn't all fucked up. Only scratch on it is on the primary from the shifter. I'm happy about that.

Is that the first time youve ever been down? You were running the Diablo Corsa's ?

First time on the Buell...not first time overall. Yes, Corsa III's.

Still happy with the tire performance overall though? You just tipped it over too far or was the the tire just not gripping the road?

It was gripping fine. There was no slip prior to this...and that was over 100 miles worth of riding. So it was all me on this one.
