Sportbike + Gravel
Well I went for a ride today, we got about 15 miles out and found that a road that we thought was paved that google maps told us to take was actually more loose gravel. I tried to take it slow but hit a real rough patch and went down. probably around 10-15 mph.
I'm PISSED!!! also. IM AN IDIOT!!! the bike went down on the right so the pipe is rashed, the rear brake lever is bent but not broken, turn signal popped off but maybe fixable. The upper fairing is what I'm pissed off about, it got cracked on the right side below the bars, and its got a + shaped crack on the front (I guess it got hit by a rock). DAMMIT THIS FUCKING SUCKS! I made a noob error, the front started washing out and i didnt calm down enough to think about the logical thing to do. FUCK. pics will come i can't find the damn adapter right now.

I tried to slow the bike down once I realized the front tire was slipping. I used both brakes. Theres really nothing more to it. The road was pretty decent for the most part but we came to this part where I guess someone just dumped a bunch of gravel.
Really, the whole thing was just a show of immense stupidity on my part. my buddy made it through fine.

That sucks man, at least you're allright.
Look at the bright side; now you have an excuse for investing in a full exhaust system, flush mount signals, rear sets and aftermarket fairing.
