Had an awesome sat a.m. ride out to the coast on hwy 36 with 3 buddies.
Hwy 36 is truely one of the finest roads anywhere...

Left home at 6:30 a.m. about 220 miles to the beach. We had lunch in Eureka...toured town a bit.

Checked the beach ... pulled out of the parking area. All 3 buddies in front... I grab a hand full of throttle and BOOM!

Honestly cant say for sure what happened, first throttle then I was rolling and rolling...I probly looped it, but couzin was looking at me in his mirror and said he thought the bike pitched sideways first. I'm ok... sorta ... only bruised body and pride.

I feel for you. I've had my share of scary moments. I've also done my share of stupid. PTL you're not injured. It'll probably make you a little more cautious in the future.

( ... sorry, trying to post and phone rang 3 times, then the pizza arrived ) anyway, My buddies had left parking area first, tires should have still been warm, I just gave a blast of juice and either the front comes up like usual or I just blast it to catch up. However this time was different. Every part of plastic got munched except one front signal lense.

Bike is still in Eureka some 225 miles from here so I will take my truck tomorrow and go pick up the remains...

you might have been a victim of the burnout wheelie i've been hearing so much about. Looks like your bike slid pretty far but at least it landed on its kickstand

WTF?? Damn, bro...

I'm real glad you ok, though....as for your baby, I don't think she's beaten too badly. Are you going to rebuild?

Fug...and double fug....damnit! Don't let her go, bud....she's definitely a beaut...and hard to find.

Is there any way that I can help ya, bro? I'm gonna be off the grid for a little bit for office relocation, but as soon as I get back, I'll be all up in my emails and stuff. I don't know if you have my email, but just in case, hit me up at my other email (NO LAUGHING, GUYS):

chamorustallion@yahoo.com

Damn glad you're ok, bro. The bike will be up and running in no time....I'm sure of that.
 
I don't know what to say for that! It truly sucks! Glad to hear you are okay, though! Let us know how it turns out and what you need help with.
