Not again...

Sorry to hear! You do realize that most crashes happen within 25 miles of home..... I suggest you move 30 miles from your driveway so you won't have to be concerned about it! :rofl::rofl: :biggrin:

 

Whoa!

Unexpected for sure reg. Glad you are OK brother.

Thanks for sharing this. I have never thought about the tires being cold enough to slip like that right out of the garage. I will be more careful now!

Glad you weren't seriously hurt.

 

This totally blows guys. :frown: I feel terrible that it was my tire that caused him to crash. The tire wasn't really a race tire, but a Dunlop 208 (DOT - street legal) From what Reg and i can put together, it was probrably due to the stickyness of the tire. Rolling out his gravel driveway the tire loaded itself with small rocks and as he turned/leaned, to go down the road it rolled sideways on all the "marbles" stuck to it untill it cleared them off the face of the tire. .......Then TRACTION. BAM.

I think that'll be the last used tire i sell/put on for anyone. Im totally bummed, but no as much as Reg im sure.

 

OMG you killed reg71. you bastard!

( in my southpark voice )

I find it easier to post something funny after reg's last post of being ok in less then a week :thumbsup:

As far as the bike goes.... post up some pics of the damage reggie maybe someone has parts for cheap out here in vfrworld ?

 

Regggie Reggie Reggie Reggie. What can I say. Glad you are OK. You and I both know what happens when you push it too hard don't we.

But. Most people have health insurance to pay the med bills. What is important here is will you be able to fix the steed in time for 2010?

 

Reg, maybe its time for this.....

 

Really sorry to hear this Reg! Glad to hear the bodily damage was not too serious. Hopefully not as bad as Tori's nose... It seems that driveway of yours is the culprit and I think we should either start a collection to get it paved or turn the SLO 2010 event into a driveway paving party! arty2: (Driveway:3 - VFR's: 0) I guess the "wall of shame" will be expanded for the next BBQ...

Heal up quick!! :thumbsup:

 

I just read this, and I have to say -- DAMN!!! I'm glad you weren't hurt worse Reg, and I hope to heal up quickly and completely.

 

Sorry to hear about the crash, Reg, but glad you're generally OK. Good luck getting the bike back to 100% as cheaply as possible.

 

Not good Reg shit sometimes just happens, an experienced mate did something similar last year on a damp morning just crossing the centre line infront of house on brand new tires, bikes can always be repaired and glad to hear you're mostly alright.

 

Damn Reg! Did Scratch have an itch that needed 'scratching'? :smile:
Hope you get everything back together soon!

 

Dang, I hate it when that happens.............

I always feel like a huuuuuge dumbass...

Which is appropriate I suppose.

 

Glad you're ok Reg.

 

Yo Reg glad to hear you are ok - I am sure you will be back in the saddle soon. Sorry to hear about the damage to your beautiful VFR. I had a recent meeting with Mr. Pavement and gotta do some plastic repair. I decided to try and repair my plastics - got inspired to do so by the Bubba post.

 

Glad your relatively O.K. Reg. I'm not worried about scratch at all, she's tough as a two dollar steak :biggrin:

 

Don't forget that goofball who dropped his awesome looking yellow one out there too...

 

And don't forget the scooter incident at SLO 3... At least you had a soft landing in the grass...

 

Glad you are O.K. and Scratch is gonna get new bits for Christmas. When do you pick up Dent? (badoom - ching)
