I was heading out for a ride with a buddy this late afternoon. Going around 40 mph on a two lane country highway, when a lady decides to slam on her brakes and pull into a Citgo gas station. Needless to say the two cars in front of me slammed on their brakes (damn near three car pile up and a motorcycle). I hit my front and rear brakes, still not enough time, put her on her side. Took a couple of tumbles, some road rash, and I am okay. The bike is going to need some major body work.
The worst part is that the culprit "lady" of course took off while everyone was checking to see if I was okay. The State Trooper let me off with a warning (probably because I only had the bike for 2 weeks).
Of course my old lady freaked out once I told her, and she wants me to quit riding. I have been riding for years and this is the first time I have had to lay a bike down. Feeling so guilty!!!
I should get some better pics tomorrow when I go down to the yard that my Duc is at. Anyone know of a great body/repair shop located in Northeast Arkansas???
