    Krash was on 28. He had lowered his brake pedal some time back so that he wouldn't lock it up under panic. He was grinding pegs all day long. Ground a half inch of his feelers. I kept telling him to take them dang feelers off so that he would know if he was dragging something important. We had ridden about 400 miles when he low sided. The brake pedal was all bent up and back and you could see the big gouge in the pavement where it dug in. He said it felt like his back tire just disappeared.

    that's when ya know you gotta start hanging off. when you start hitting hard parts, you know the tires are at their limit and you have to start doing things to avoid it

    IF you sucked at it as bad as me then you would have got all of it on tape.

    I wish someone had been in position to get my low side on tape so I'd exactly what the hell happened -- beyond coming into it too hot, of course.

    Dress for the crash, not the ride. (Assuming you still have a ride.)
    Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?
