Don't break too hard when it's raining

[stopintime]

Front wheel gone without permission - bike and rider slide ~100 meter - bike straight without tumbling. Rider on track -> curbs -> grass. Curbs are not slide friendly.

Peg replaced. Handlebar and stuff back where they belong. Small paint damage on fairing and tank. 'Need' a mirror and a break lever.

That is an awesome way to put it.   You're looking at the bike where as a community, we're also concerned about the rider!  I'll just assume that the body and spirit are still good  .

Thanks, yes, but I recommend being twenty if you're crashing more often than once a decade

Glad you're OK.

It must have....  wet asphalt is ok, curbs are worse and grass/dirt rotated me a couple of spins.

Thanks!

Even at our age, a little lowside isn't that terrible. The rest of it hurts.

I'll avoid the curbs next time. Or not crash at all. We'll see...

Good plan.

"The ground gets harder"

It really does.

Yep recent experience supports that statement.

I've also noticed that I don't seem to bounce off of the ground as well as I used to.   Relieved to know that it's not me getting old,  just that the earth's durometer is rising....
