Damn it!! Oh well...Saturday we went on the Malibu run and had alot of fun. We had 12 bikes end up going. Going down Stunt road I believe hit a sharp turn at a high speed...my line went a little wide but decent....exept there was unexpected sand/gravel in the road!!! Well....back tire slid out and I slid like 35-40 feet through rocky dirt and got stopped by the barrier of sand at the end of the cliff... The rest of the crew got there a few moments later and helped me out and go the bike picked up...I was not really injured..shoulder and leg probems and a few scrathes on my leg thankfully. The Alpinestar Jacket held up wayyyy better then expected...still looks brand new. The bike is all cosmetic damage. What pisses me off.. is the slider didnt even work....it popped off cleanly...didnt break or grind down...shit looks like it was never installed!!!

Damn bro glad to see you are ok...I remember that road from my riding days... I have seen many guys go down around that area, and a few who weren't as lucky as you. I'm sure the worst part for you was not your scratches but the one's on your bike.. Its all good though you aren't a true rider until you fall and get back on...
Hey B-
Sorry to hear about you dropping your bike...that sux, but at least your alive to talk about it!!!!
Definatley...Hey I bought the bike to use it....and now it has "Character" :rollside: It was unfortunate, but I have crashed dozens of times before on the dirtbike...thankfully because of that I was able to react accordingly. It could have been alot worse... :220v:
Afterwards we kept the ride up...shook it off. Went to the Rockstore then to the weapons base and PINKS in la....good ride all and all.
Glad to hear your ok. Be careful on that thing. I've had 2 friends that weren't as lucky as you. Lost their lifes on street bikes.
