So here is the story...
So, just finished servicing the super moto... test ride and let it run for over 20 minutes. Double check all my bolts and make sure there are no leaks. All looks good so i go for a ride to get some dinner. About an 1/8 of a mile before the VRC off ramp in Eugene i started to blow oil, but did not know yet... The off ramp is a fun corner and i want to have fun in the fun corner. Coming into it I felt the rear tire break loose but assumed it was just a slick spot in the road as i was not going that fast... maybe 60ish. Got into the corner and hit the gas... the bike sarted going sideways a little which was really no big deal until it got all the way sideways. Made it about half way up the ramp and lost it. Low sided the bike at about 60 and I slid off the road. Come to find out the oil bolt was no longer in the case.... how it came out I am not sure as i tightened it twice. But oh well. **** happens. The tire was completely covered in oil. My friend behind me said it was quite spectacular to watch me ride it for as long as I did. And the guy on the cruiser who was on the inside lane stopped after I wrecked and he told me he thought i was doing it on purpose... heh... i wish :) Anyways, bike suffered a minor scuff on the axle nut, foot peg, and muffler. Also need to replace the grip and throttle tube from being ground down a little. My jacket is awesome... leather does its job ( i have proven that twice now ;)...) Was wearing jeans and those are prety much toast. Have some decent rash where my jacket came up a little, and smashe my ankle pretty good. Nothing broken, will be a little stiff for a couple days I am sure. Here a caouple pics of the wreck... (notice the oil on the tire?)
