·First let me praise Cycle Cat bar ends and frame sliders, and Vanson leathers.
I was out taking photos on a canyon run, goosed it too much before being upright lost the rear tire and lowsided. Wasn't going too fast, not more then forty or fifty for sure, the turn was fairly tight.
Sara was takin' photo's but unfortunately froze as I went down, so I didn't get any cool pics of the event itself, yep she hates herself now....
Anyways....totally my bad on the lowside. Uh, so I broke the left side mirror, unfortunately expensive DP ones, just scratched the crg lever on the ball end, ground more off my sidestand, ground the shifter and foot peg good, a few minor scratches on the leo vinci can, and broke the frame slider off, but it did it's job before it did. A little dent on the tank where the clip on clamp hit it otherwise nothing. Rode it back down. Sara said I was sliding on my ass and spinning around and around, the whole time I thought I was just sliding straight watching my bike sliding ahead of me, honestly it looked really cool, that's what I remember thinking, and that my butt was getting really hot so I better stop sliding pretty soon.
The Cycle Cat slider and bar ends did their job perfectly and so did the Vanson's. Will post pic's later. Thank you Cycle Cat and Vanson great products! Got any questions on frame sliders, ask me, they saved the day.
