Sound like a good save [clap]
My fiance and I were on a ride this summer to a conference on our STs' all loaded down with camping gear, clothes, etc for a week. We go to get off the slab and when I go to grab the brake at the end of the exit ramp, I realize my hand has fallen asleep; not good
So I grab a bit too much. He is coming up behind me and sees that I'm about to go over to the right. So he thinks that if pulls up next to me he can catch me. Wrong!! We both end up going over at the bottom of the ramp with a semi pulling up behind us. We must have been quite the spectacle to him. We were both okay and the bikes just have more character now. :
Hard cases make good frame sliders.
