Im doing ok (minus the damaged pride). The bike needs new bars, and tail light. Has a few. Scratches in some really weird spots, im sure it did some tumbling. Here's what happend.....

I was riding a balance point wheelie in 2nd and when I shifted to 3rd, the bike went so far rear ward that when I chopped the throttle and hit the rear brake to bring it back down nothing happened. After riding on the tail for about 20ft or so I bailed off. I was wearing my jeans, riding jacket helmet and boots. The jeans didn't survive so well. Live and learn (just ordered kevlar riding pants) lol

Ray, if you weren't doing this wheelie in front of an ice cream stand, it doesn't count.

glad you walked away. OUCH!

Keep one part on the wall or the bike as a reminder.

I don't have enough ***** to shift into second.

Nothing but good thoughts
