Yup as allways. ThanxSon of a buck! Your presence is due in church this Sunday!
Thats why I didn't get frame sliders . I figure if I go down , WTF , I got insurance!! Still glad you are okay .Ty, the case scuffed and cracked on the left side other wise I coulda rode her home. I was just surprised that both side frame sliders were bent. They were ground as expected but also bent and the bike didnt slide more than about 50 ft or so ( I think ) anyway still glad it wasnt worse I just thought for not too much speed the woulda held up a little better. makes me kinda wonder how bad a high speed crash would be.
Now tell them the rest of the story Mr. Norcal deer magnet.
True that,Frisbee, but if you ride your bike alone in areas where you don't have cellphone service you want all the protection installing accessories and upgraded heavy duty parts. Believe it or not on a daily basis I carry a spare chain link,motion pro chain kit,air compressor,tape,ziplocks,plug,slime tire seal and enough tools to handle most worst case senario most riders would be stuck like chuck in the same situation.Thats why I didn't get frame sliders .

Like Ken has agreed, if he had a billet case cover he could have road the bike home. Just imagine if he was riding alone in a no cell area. Granted some passer by probably would have stop to help but I've been on roads in SD when I didn't see another car or homes (maybe one about .25 from the main rd and it look like a scene the movie Chain Saw Masacare) for an hour with no cell service at that.
