Ok, So Im ridin my bike to a reefkeeprs meeting (I have a 75 gallon saltwater tank with corals and fishies)
anyhow, as im comming thru a light and there is a turn, my back tire catches some gravel or sand or somthing like that, and i can feel my back tire sliding out alittle i lightly let off the throttle until i got thru it, but I held on, and keep the rubber side down, then im going down the road, its kinda hilly and where i had to make a left turn i had to stop on an uphill and wait for traffic, once i had my opening thankfully i waited until it was a huge opening, no more cars comming i went to go and stalled out and then restarted and stalled again and then the bike leaned left and went over "in the middle of the lane" so thankfully since the 650 is not a very heavy bike and i have lifted it once before i went to pick it up but i was still in gear so it wouldnt roll, thankfully i pulled in the clutch and then it got moving but this was scarey because i could have easily been run over by a car flying over the hill and not seeing me and the bike on the other side. a nice lady in a mini van was kind enough to ask if i needed any help which i didnt think that i did, and she probably flashed any cars that were comming in my direction.
I rode up the block to my meeting, alittle shook up because i realized how easily i could have gotten really hurt or killed in that moment. :'(
Its part of the learning process, everyone makes mistakes such as these in the beginning, I only hope i never experience that again that my brain body connection knows now how to avoid that.
its also probaby due to the fact that was i think in 2nd gear instead of first that it stalled.......... ???
NO damage that i can see, the only thing that happened was that my rear view mirror got knocked alittle loose, and thankfully for that little took kite i broke out the wrench and fixed that quickly.
would appreciate some imput...
Thanks
Sue (with the sore shoulder from an older injury now aggravated by lifting that beautiful bike)
