not mine..... but a buddy of mine who lives in Indy called me today..... all jacked up on pain killers..... the other day he got new Michelin P. Powers on his CBR1000 RR..... thought he'd take the bike out for a spin and scrub the new tire surface shine off.... pulls out of his drive, heading down the street in his heighborhood, only going about 15-20 mph, said he was weaving the bike a bit left and right to scrub the sides of the tires a bit when the back end slides out, catches all of the sudden and high sides him off..... 360 degree head over heels, lands on his feet before landing on his ass...... bike slides to a stop next to him on the side of the road..... after he sorta regroups himself.... and realizes he's unharmed (full leathers and all the gear...) he tries to stand up and feels horrible pain shoot up his leg....... long story short, he broke his heel in three places.... Doctor says it may be 4 months before he will walk on it..... said the road was clear of any sand or salt, and the ambient temp was about 50 degrees F...... so maybe a combination of new tires, colder surface temp and dumb luck..... bike was just rashed on the fairings and cases, nothing real major.....

moral: your never exempt from going down... be careful out there........
