I thought that was a movie. Neat little video though, some cool artsy shots of a Ducati single.

I almost crashed it this morning riding to work. I've been "exploring" the bikes limitations. I believe I found one of them............

2-lane, chip-N-seal road, misting rain, hit a greasy spot when leaned-over pretty hard (for a 650lb+ bike) and the front washed-out on me; I struggled to keep it from going-down, next I know - I'm off in the gravel, then the WEEDS...........

Managed to right it, figured "What the hey, bike's not 'crashed' yet, might as well keep on ridin' it out of here." So I did. I figure the drivers of the septic-sucker truck in front of me, and the guy in the SUV behind me (that I'd passed just 2-miles back) thought I was Insane.

Happened so fast, I was too damn busy tryin' to save my life to be scared. Got a few miles down the road, THEN the adrenaline-rush hit me, I started shaking. I was O.K. by the time I got to work, though.

The Wife don't know yet, dunno if I'll tell her or not. Probably elicit a beatdown if I do.

Never stop riding it, 'til it won't ride anymore.

I see you need to practice your "layin' her down" skilz the bike pro'lly would have stopped sliding in time to avoid the weeds, then you could just up and dust yer-self off and be on your way instead of gettin' all shakey and ill-feeling..

Good save by the way, if that don't put the fear in ya' nothing will..

You think that might have told me something about riding a motorcycle in LALA Land...but no, I ventured on to greater almost crashes...

Well you are an Airdale, that's barely a step above Marine Recon on the ol' noodle power scale.....

Up there in 60 foot swells trying to tie their airplanes down, getting blown over the side by jet exhaust or walking into prop blades......nah...
