thanks everyone for the kind words. I went back to the spot tonight earlier when it was still light, and I thought I said it in my original post but i guess not. I had some kind of critter run out in front of me which cause me to lock up the front tire. At the time i didnt know what it was that ran out because it seemed to happen so fast. but, at the crash site there was a dead armadillo right off to the side of the road, so it looks like thats what ran out in front of me. There was a black skid and then white scrapes from where the stator dug into the ground. then a big oil spot at the end of the 20 yards or so of scrapes. I thank god that i didnt get seriously hurt, but skin will grow back and bruises will heal. Im never riding without my jacket though thats for sure! anyone selling a stator cover? lol
the only damage was the stator, front fender light scratches, left side fairing, left side of nose piece, and left muffler.
