Well good thing no one got hurt. I'm thinkin' about getting those draggin jeans with the knee armor. Knees seem to be a common place of impact.

I don't get it. Can you be more specific? Do you mean wrap the lever back up with tape?

That sucks. Wrecking is all part of it though, wish it was not. Definately cut the brake lever and cluch lever so the bar end will hit without costing you $15 a pop. Having longer made sliders will also save the stator cover. Keep safe. donuts are bad ***. good luck.
