Crashed at Deals gap-need replacement body parts-where to get them
Well my 10r went off the side of deal's gap this week, supprisingly it rolled off the side of the mountain and did not fall over till it got to the bottom. I'm ok as i leaped off right before it went over the side. All it did was scratch the left side fairings. The six of us picked it up and carried it up the side of the mountain. I rode it back to the cabin as i didn't even break a mirror or shifter lever. I must admit i was pushing it way to much and was lifting the front coming of a corner and went wide. The weather could not have been better this past week. Before anyone starts preaching I know what i did wrong and have slowed my ass down on the streets.

Very few of us can be preaching safety, least of all me. Just try to learn from it all.

So i priced it all out and its gonna cost me 650 bucks, not bad really. At least i brought my rc51 and had fun again the next day. Its supprising how much easier it is to ride the gap on the RC. but as soon as your out of the gap the roads around it are super fast 10R country.

I love the stability and sound of the RC, it just feels like its glued to the road but there is nothing like the superbike, on the edge feel of the the 10r.
