As well the front end was tweeked. Still can't believe I did not
go down then my front tire was struck by the rock, well when I
ran over the rock I should say. I guess I just had the bike
verticle enough that it did not kick the bike out from under
neath me.
It is funny, I can't remember the exact details of the impact,
all I can remember is the one rock rolling accross the road,
braking/avoiding, bracing for impact, then riding away.
There is about 500mS that I can not account for. It is strange,
I can still remeber every detail about, your oops, flipping my
Dad's car (over 6 years ago), low siding my 9r, and about 3
other random bike downs I have seen.
Oh well.
