How long was it on fire, looks a little crispy
How hot was it that day, the new asphalt could of seeped some and tucked the front end pretty easy.

Glad you're ok man. I hate see a downed rider. Keep the pills poppin and the alcy flowing.
I know it's early but I'll take the front end off your hands. |

Wow dude...another 5 feet and you would have missed that curb. Weird place to put a curb....dust gets on the road and can't get off. Makes no sense.
Bike is thrashed...but expected if it's going end over end. Sweeper looks long and in seeing other videos of you 110 doesn't seem uncommon. Is the back gonna heal all good? What did the surgeon say?

And to whoever was asking about the front end...it's a little twisted. Haven't looked at it too closely to see what else is fucked yet.

Guess it's just mud.
Yeah guess it wasn't slick from heat. Yeah most likely gravel or other foreign objects.

You mentioned having recently installed a new set of forks.
Have you ever done this before? Improperly torqued steering head bearings can create the vagueness in the front-end you described. I had a few mid-corner "oh shit" moments after swapping GSXR forks onto my SV and this was why. |

glad you are going to be ok man. always weird when someone doesn't post for a while. Could mean they got bored of the forum, or had a fatal wreck and we would never know.
