Wreck

[climberfreak]

[sad] So i was putt puttering around my neighborhood not even having this bike for 24 hours getting use to it and i was seeing how much go go she had and shifted to 2nd then o man there goes the front wheel in the air landed crooked and glanced off a curb which sent my ass flying through the air. So as im spinning on the ground watching my buddy running toward me then spinning around again to see the parts and sparks flying off my bike as is scooted on the road. this was a very sad day. Road rash sucks first time ive ever wrecked. im waiting for a brake lever and throttle sleeve so i can get back on it and figure out what my limits are cause that bike was underestimated a great deal.

Respect to the buell!!

Bad Juju is right bro. Dont let this fall deter you from riding bikes. Just take things a little easy when you get yourself and the bike back together. Good luck bro[up]

You wouldn't be on a motorcycle at all if you were scared. But these beasts in particular require respect. Buells are torque animals. Be sure to be aware and respect the power. Ride safe bro.
