3rd gear 12 o'clock wheelie fail....

Not to steal your thunder, but...
I went out for an after dinner ride at the hare scramble course near my house last Saturday. I was flying. It was the best I have ever ridden. In fact, it was milliseconds after I told myself that, that somehow the front end washed, and I went down at about 70k (40 MPH) in the woods. I had equipment, but afterward, I couldn't lift my right arm (had to drink beers with left arm, talk about a learning curve), had a gashed knee, and a black and blue foot.
It's the hardest crash I've ever had, and I've had a lot of doozies.
I still can't walk right, but I'm off the crutches, and didn't miss a day of work.
This is significant. I don't bruise. I've never had one in almost 50 years until now.
I consider myself lucky that I was able to make it home, and didn't hit a tree on my way down.
Good luck on your recovery Ray. It'll only be a few weeks.

Ray, not to minimize your traumatic experience, I like the downpipe you have installed on the fmf.. is that a q4 or powercore4? How did you get the downpipe installed, what did you use, and what dia is it? Is it quiet?

Its actually a Big gun Evo R...
It did quiet it down alot. Plus its angled away from the bike slightly. I will take some closer pictures for you. When you see it is actually very simple.
Its significantly more quiet while on the bike.
