sorry to read of your accidents. just curious though, you mentioned you just got new tires the day before. wondering if maybe the tires weren't properly broken in yet? typically, they say to get at least a 100 miles on them before getting to aggressive with them. maybe your riding style was good, just the tires not sticking in the turns like you would expect them to. good luck in your recovery.

Definitely a good point, Jeremy.  O0

Some people use a silicone spray to mount tires....that would also make them extra slick till it wares off.... Like putting Armoral on the tires   :'( :'( :'( ??? ???

Must be something in the air....

I have two friends that got some tank damage on bikes over last weekend.

One killed the bike taking of then got in a hurry and spun out and dropped it.

The other just dropped his in a parking lot.

Anyway, I'm glad you'll make a full recovery.
