Idk why I'm showing this but hey I caught it on video though..was cold outside.bald tires and overall shitty day:/guys behind me stated that they saw my tire skip then went under me:///
Sorry to hear you went down, and glad you weren't hurt. Did you think your tires were warmed up? You knew what was wrong, maybe you shouldn't have been pushin it :dunno
Listening to your throttle application and looking at the surface, coupled with the things you mentioned in the first post, I can't believe this hasn't happened before. Glad you aren't hurt.
+1, dude what were you thinking???? glad i saw the grooves in the concrete in 1080p. live and learn bro. glad you were able to walk away from that one uninjured
Thanks a lot guys and yeah I'm actually good only the lower fairing got scratched and those ebay frame sliders did the job.I never really believed in those sliders as the only cost 30bucks.but anyway yeah I saw the video and yeah I have never been on that road.just glad my first time ever falling happened like this and able to fix it and walk away.thanks guys and the camera was in 960p I think 30fps .and happened el paso Texas.also I knew my tires were not warmed so all in all was just me not thinking and booom here comes the craken .
the wifey was the one that i was most scared to tell.I instantly text everyone and everyone shows up to my house and we plugged in the gopro to the big screen and everyone asked. " what are you telling them before you fall CHECK This OUT!. then everyone at same time "gasp then ouuuch" lol. Hope this doesnt happen to anyone else learn from my mistake and well be smarter and think twice lol
exactly what happened to me last money .. when i finally got to work.. everyone was asking " did you have your gopro on" lol wish i did .. respect the cold as much as you need to respect your bike !
None taken.it was my first time on that st.and first time ever seeing that kinda pavement.all in all lesson learned won't happen again and next time I won't wait until my tires are showing wires to change them
What kind of tires were you runnin???? They sucked big time!
