Went for a ride with a couple of the orgsters here, and locked up going through a curve (I panicked & locked the wheels up), and slid right into a small copse of trees. Right now, it looks like there's only cosmetic damage (fairings & nose are done)to the bike, and the right rear footpeg/muffler mount has been bent in a little. I took a couple of lumps, but I should be fine in a couple of days...I got off VERY lucky on this one, it could have turned out MUCH worse...
MAJOR THANKS to Jon, Rick, and Jim for helping me limp (literally!) home
Now, here's the pics for all to see:
luckily, it looks like the scrape on my left leg seems to be the worst I suffered physically. Nevertheless, I stand before you all embarrassed & ashamed...this was simply a result of me diving in to riding too fast after an extended absence from riding...I know, I'm an idiot, so flame on...
