What can I say
Tis true.....Corners crashed in iowa in a corner with VMCgirl(she was on the back with me)
... Yup... a nice little low side.... I was doing between 15 to 20mph just getting ready for the set up into the corner just started to lean it and it slid out from under us..... I feel like poo for taking VMCgirl down..... sorry hon....
Corrine and I came out of it with minor bumps and bruses.... I am sore as hell....
the bike was luck too... frame sliders took most of the hit...
broke shift lever, and left peg.... rashed left plastic, engine cover, kickstand and belly pan and bent left clip on and frame slider bracket

Don't forget the last casualty in the whole ordeal........Neal's tailgate. I couldn't help but bust a laugh when those cables broke.

His cables that held his tailgate on snapped when Mike's bike was loaded into the bed of Neil's truck. The tailgate then fell down onto the rear bumper, and put about 4 creases in it. It's trashed. Totally typical of this weekend, I must say!
