    Ugg, frackin' gravel... definitely a disadvantage to motorcycles. I find that in NE anyway, the corners aren't usually dirty for long. I most often go on blind faith that I'll only slip for a moment, so far I've been lucky in that respect.

    Heal well you two, you have a wedding to get to on that motorcycle!

      Josh & Rose, I'm very glad that you are all right. After reading your story I think that you took the only option open to you so don't beat yourself up over it. If I know that there is a very good possibility of going down I'll take the grass everytime. It's one heck of a lot softer than the pavement or gravel. Get well.

        Glad to hear you're both okay. Sorry Dawn and I didn't make it down to Bedford Saturday night to meet everyone. It sounds like your weekend wasn't a total loss. I drug the 1100 down there only to have it sit on the side of a hill on the trailer.

          Josh and Rose,

          First and foremost Thank the Lord you both are ok and able to walk away from this incident.

          Secondly, thanks for posting the account of what happened. I'm sure there are lessons to be learned here for us all, newbies and seasoned ridders although please don't see this as second guessing. I wasn't there and no one knows exactly what you were delt with or thinking during your mishap. I am sure all of your years of experience helped you both in surviving and that is what is most important.

          And finally thank the Lord that there wasn't a car/truck or bike coming the opposite direction to make things worse. As for the sign posting "loose gravel" that will take many months to happen. Thats just how it goes in the small rural areas. And the Lady that offered help, well, that is just small hometown hospitality they will do anything to help.

          Again, very glad you both are ok and healing and sorry I couldn't make it down to meet you both.

            Sorry I read this so many days later but I also would like to add how glad I am you two are ok.

            Rose you're awesome. The one time I dropped my ex-wife off the back of a bike, she wouldn't talk to me for 20 min.

            Wish I had been there that weekend as I planned.

                        Belated well wishes

                        Josh, Rose,

                        May I repeat those immortal words of Bill Clinton?

                        "I feel your pain."

                        I just read this thread after being alerted to your mishap in another. I'm so happy both of your are for the most part OK and you are getting on with life in all of its unpredictable merriment and mayhem. I wish you both the best in your upcoming marriage. I wish I could be there for the ceremony. Please take care.

                        All the best to you and yours,

                        Cliff
