    its to easy!!!!!!!!

    went to work today, normal.
    things were slow.

    took off at noon to a sorta local bar and had breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    now i need all new turn signals, right/left engine cover plates, new crash bars, misc. other parts and my black jeans and leather jaket need patches. lost skin will come back

    went around a corner which is also a RxR under pass.
    have regularly passed thru it at 40mph(15 posted) from center of lane(start of crow canyon road). was only gong about 45, went wide and ran over a bunch of leaves. front wheel decided to go south. flopped on left side and then a few feet , hit the curb. bike stood up with me still on it then slowly went the fu@# the other way landing on the side walk.

    left wrist/nuckels/knees and right hand took most of the fall. back and legs looked bad (jeans/jacket) but are most likely just going to be sore for a while.

    teach an old dog new tricks???
    don't think so!!!
    after 40 years of off/on riding you think you'd learn.


    went thru canyon anyway. bought a pack a smokes at sunol and looked over my xs.

    maybe need to be xs only with the bike and not my drinking

    Glad you weren't run over by a cage after leaving the bike.

        Can't say that I have.
        All of my immediate family was born in Hayward. Grandparents lived in Hayward (till they passed-away).
        I'm the oddball born in Patterson and lived most of my life in the central valley.
        I still have alot of cousins in the bay area that I never see.
