Went for a Sunday ride with 8 others I hadnt riden with before. No bigee. Ride my ride.
As we get going I realize my rid3 xx xxxxx x x xxxxxd. pace despite all being 125+hp Daytona and ZX600, all others are liter bikes.
so me on the mere 95hp FZ8
We start down a nice twisty road and we get about 10 turns in. Haul it down from ## to neighborhood of ## ish, I notice the guy ahead does a little twitch and shimmy as he goes through.
I enter and immediately feel the rearend starting to slide..Relax, steady throttle...slide ends...whew and WHAM. Over the bars I go in a highside.
Strike my head, then directly on left shoulder, followed by slide, bounce, slide....stop...all parts are still attached no real pain...
Running to catch sliding bike which is about to jump into a ditch. Grab left foot peg, run. Grab bike.
Guys behind stop. Quick inventory. One rider off to alert others, stopped ridet helps me pick her up. Bend shift lever out, stuff whats left of peg on and I jam it into 2nd. He goes to let others know I am enroute.
Stuck in 2nd, able to do ## ish. Find them on side road waving.
After they all look me over and look at the 8. Fuck, if it were a supersport, it would be dead they say. Fuck, Im getting one of these, I hear.
Manage to get the peg more firmly attached, shifting by lifting and pushing foot because peg is going to come off and i'll lose shifting. Use passenger peg for left foot.
Complete the entire ride and managed to keep pace despite awkward shifting and foot on rear peg.
I am totally fine. Leathers are mangled, helmet done. Bike is easily fixable. Have parts list and prices. Calling ins who covers gear and my accessories.
Leathers saved my body. Id be hamburger. Would have probably broken neck (again) broken shoulder and mangled my knee and been raw meat wrist to shoulder, ass, back and legs had I not been in full gear.
TOTALLY FINE. FEEL LIKE I GOT RUN DOWN BY A BULL.
More as soon as I can pull pics together.
Best. DG
