Low Speed Low Side :S
Well as i was commuting to school today i took the usual path there. Buttttt unfortunately while making a right hand turn at one of the usual intersections to get to school i lowsided my bike going about 15-20 mph. When i got up i observed the damage and as far as the bike goes the right blinker housing (clear plastic piece) broke off with the screw bent inside the threads so i need to find a way to get that out and get a new screw and well screw it back in. That and a few minor scratches on the right fairing. Damage is really minimum so im extremely lucky. My right leather jacket on the forearm area got scuffed a lil bit as well as my right helmet visor ( aside from the visor scratch no other damage or scratches was seen. I checked out the turn after i safely parked the bike on the side and discovered there was alot of pieces of what seems to be a honda's hubcap all over the road... That is what caused me to lowside... Im lucky there werent any real damage and i will now learn to observe the road ALL the time now! 2nd lowside :/ *endrant lol

Yes, Tony, flat plastic debris can act as skis when under the tire.
Same for flattened soda and beer cans.

Why don't more riders use stunters crash bars?
