ah man I just got back from a ride where I wiped out doing like 5km/h on my 04 599, thank the good lord above there was no real damage few scratchs on the engine and I bent my foot brake back a bit ( which I fixed with a screw driver). but it so stupid.

I know you guys ( like me ) heard it before but be careful on the loose gravel.

p.s. joe rocket makes a fine jacket/pants. never hurt myself at all.

No, has happened or will to everyone. Just goes to show how easy it is to loose focus though. Glad you are OK and (hope) wiser for it...

Sorry to hear bro!! But glad you're ok and the bike is too...hate to
hear when people spill.
I do have to invest in some good armored mesh or otherwise pants.
Pretty much the only piece of gear i'm missing that is truly essential.
With it getting warm, i'm just amazed at how many people ride around
in shorts, tank tops, sneakers etc. I've seen road rash and it ain't cute!
But i digress. Again glad you're OK and were geared up!!! 8)

Sorry to hear about your spill, but glad you're okay. Gravel happens, so watch out for it. A lesson learned.
