This is all just a guess on my part. Does what I said seem likely @Ninja Bob?

P.S. You're supposed to buy flush mounts before you crash You're lucky they didn't smash a hole through your fairings. I think that happens a lot during low sides on the newgen 250.
I honestly can't recall how tense I was. I'd say I was generally riding fast and loose last night. But it can all change in a snap given the circumstances. I've been riding for a little over four years. This is low side numero tres. First was gravel. Second was inexperience combined with a pair of draft beers. This is my first "I don't know". I really should have taken a few minutes to assess what happened.

And you're correct on the flush mounts, but hey, who plans on crashing?
