Anyone ever heard that Buells run wide if you trail brake....that shit is no lie. They do. And it did....right off the pavement and into the gravel. Bike stayed up and I rode off. And slowed down.

the 1125 doesn't seem to have that prob
2 close calls
1 on track, turn 8 (my fav) was getting too comfortable and got really happy with the throttle, rear spun out, grabbed traction, and then started a tank slapper. stayed on the gas till it quit, and then decided that was the end of my session.
2. in town, sand on the corner, got cocky and "backed it in" thru the corner.
was going in excess of the speed limit after that so applied the front brake. still sand on the street so the front tucked. bike fell right, caught it with my foot, bike went left, caught it with my foot, accelerated and came out of it.
comonboys and another friend were expecting me to go down.
