Crashed
Yup. I did it again.
This time I did a high-side at low speed while leaving the shop. I have a few pictures of the bike and I am still trying to figure out exactly what happened. I remember hearing the motor spinning up. I remember the rear-end kicking out. Then I remember thinking, “Why am I looking at my headlight?” as we spun in lazy circles down the roadway. I was in front of the bike with the headlight between my legs and my right leg under the fairing. I was aiming for a side street that was at a 45° angle from Sandy when I launched. So, that is where I ended up. My knee is bruised and I have small blister on my hand. My leathers are damaged. I trashed a pair of gloves and glove liners.

And, ‘No.’ I didn’t learn to stop riding motorcycles.
I learn cold tires don’t stick and that I can be my own worst enemy from time-to-time.
