The other day I got my kit from Chris (which was great) and I installed my 6.5 on my DB. I should have taken a picture of my bike, while it was still perfect. I was riding it with one of my buddies in a big open parking lot. The only problem was that this parking lot had a lot of potholes and gravel/small rocks throughout it. I was having the time of my life crusing around and then I crashed. I figured it was one or all of these three things:
1. I was leaning kind of hard into this turn
2. I was accelerating around the turn
3. I hit a gravel/small rocks spot
Anyways, I say I was going about 30-35(maybe more) and I lost control. I didn't want to mess up my bike so I held on for a minute and got dragged about 30 feet before I let go. My bike didn't get messed up too bad. It has a scratch and a dent on the front fender and my chain came off. Me on the other hand, I have one of the worst cases of road rash you ever seen. I wish my camera was working. It's on my feet, legs, really bad on my knee and inner thigh, butt, and shoulder. It didn't hurt too bad when it happened but I'm feeling it now.
The point to this story is that these little things can hurt you and you need to be careful.
