Low sided on TN290. Awesome road, railing it hard, was on a curvy downhill left-hander, hit a broken tar patch due to which the front tire caught a bit of air and I leaned at the same time and when it landed on smooth pavement didn't hold traction.
Yeah, full gear saved me completely. Took a nice tumble but I guess I can fall down correctly
.
Bike slid into the soft patch on side to the wire fence. Frame sliders, Satan's highway pegs and axle sliders protected the frame, engine, tank. Fender lip and tail handle broke, front stay bent a bit, fairing got a bit of scratches on left and cracked near the headlight corner which also broke. Need to replace fender, front and tail fairing. May as well JB-weld the tail and fender. Forks got tweaked, straightened them right there as seen the pics. Continued to ride around 80 miles after that. Shifter got bent inside that it became difficult to upshift -straightened it with a socket wrench after I came home.
Well, Euro naked version here I come. Popped the "Has Crashed" cherry.
Here are some pics: I am in the silver/grey jacket.
The tar patch is on top right of this pic
