Went Down on the BMW tonight. I am Fine. a little scratch on the elbow and my shoulder is a little sore. I was in my mesh jacket. No scratches on my helmet.
I was going around 25 when I found a previous wreck location. It was in the middle of a curve. the road was covered in antifreeze and Oil dry. Took a pretty hard low side. Near as i can tell i will get new lower crash bars, maybe new handle bars, New hand guards, and at least a new left side box.
Glad you are okay!
Good to hear it's just the bike that needs repair and not you.
Also happy not to be typing we were the last to see you alive last night.
Hope your shoulder is good enough to push mowers around today.
Glad your okay. The wreck must have happened after 5 P.M. after I came down through there.
He was on his way home from watching the movie in Trussville with us.
Glad you're okay! And hope Maria is up to snuff (and stays that way) while the Beemer is down.
Well the shoulder is pretty painful. Other that that I'm good.
I was following a truck so I was only going about 30. Not that 30 can't kill you. The curve is the last left hander going away from Leeds before you drop into the valley. That really nice banked one. It had enough banking that I stayed in the road and stop right on the center line instead of going to the outside guard rail.
Thanks everyone.
Good to hear you are OK.
Glad you are alright Rodney! Dem motosycles be dangerous! :)
Glad you are ok!
Crashing sucks. I'm glad you're ok.

I we go back to the motorcycle worm hole theory. Then lists of places are in the way home from Trussville. You will never know how many unless you go to trussville and come back on a motorcycle many many times.
Though I can think of many better place to start from so you can test that hypothesis.
Glad you are ok Rodney!
Slippery stuff on the road sucks. Glad your OK.
Glad you're OK. Bikes can be repaired.
Glad your ok.
Glad you aren't banged up any worse Rodney. Like others have said - the bike can be fixed.
Whoa! Sucksnit happened, but glad you are ok for the most part. If still sore after a week, go get checked out. Could have a fracture or splinters impacting nerves.
Everything else is already felling a little better, but my elbow is bruised pretty bad. I keep hitting it every 8.73 seconds and man it hurts. :-\

glad you are ok, hate the arm hurts, but what I want to know is how bad did you fuck up your kilt?
Glad you are o.k.
Heading south the curve before the railroad tracks (before piss rock) I had a little slippage from gravel in the curve yesterday.
I have started hearing about a bunch of people finding gravel on Hwy25. I almost suspect residents are throwing it in the road because of all the people flying down the road. I heard a rumor that 2 bikes went down in gravel the weekend before it did.
Mine was clearly an accident that had not been cleaned up.
Damn that sucks. It's a shame because I was on it a few weeks ago and I was thinking about how nice the new asphalt was.

Someone had cleaned all the gravel out of this curve, but there is a little still in some of the other curves.
