The End.

up the road from here. I was going maybe 20-25, hit some gravel around a turn and the bike slid into the ditch. Bike is ok except for instrument panel. I have already found one on ebay so I will order this week. Should have it up in running in a few days.
I was riding with a more experienced rider (always good) and he said that I handled it the only way I really could have. He told me that he would have come around the curve alot faster on his rocket and would have ended up in the field.
Wondering if a panel off another model would fit it?

Ouch! Glad it wasn't serious for you or the bike. Hope you had on or now will wear all the gear. No one is good enough to foresee all accidents

Hi Mr. jonshrader,
I am sorry to hear of your misfortune. I came across a lot of gravel in the road on my little fun ride yesterday. I'm glad I was with an inexperienced friend. I was going a lot slower because of it, plenty of time to see all the debris in the road.
I hope and pray that you and your bike heal quickly. Ride safely!
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

Gravel the "Devil's Ball Bearings". Fiendish stuff for sure.
Glad you are ok and it wasn't worse for the bike.
Having dumped myself in the stuff I'm very paranoid and keep an eagle eye out for it as I'm sure you will now.
Its good to get right back out there but be careful and don't get overly nervous as that can lead to problems too.
Stay safe,

If that's called "Devil's Ball Bearings", water and algae should be called "Devil's Snot".
4-5 more weeks before I can get back on two wheels.
