I spend about 4 hours replacing the bars with the new Renthal ones and cleaned the bike and checked tire pressure etc and went for a test ride.
Was pleased with everything driving down the 405S and decided to go to the Chinese market. I transitioned from the 405S to the 110N and then right onto the 91W. Well I was entering a short downhill transition road to the 91W and into a turn and my rear brake locked up with almost no pressure and I realized the whole road was greased. I let off got the bike straight and tried it again with the same results. I was so far off line by this time the turn was impossible to make at my speed so I barely braked to try and slow it as much as possible before I hit the guardrail about 150 feet up off the ground. As I got close I decided to pinch off the front brake and drop the bike and it all worked as planned with the bike stopping about 4 feet from the guard rail. I was unfortunately catapulted over the bike and into the guard rail. So I got to spend the night in the hospital, have no idea what my bike looks like and have "multiple rib fractures" where I hit the rail.
It was a record setting heat day so all the oil and grease was up on the surface and swimming and I finally dumped the bike at about 40 mph. I was hoping to slide with it but was launched.
I'm lucky I hit the guard rail as a 150 foot drop would have killed me.
I was wearing ATGATT so road rash is minimum.....
Now what really pisses me off is that I had a Contour running and I haven't been able to get anything to recognize the mem chip and it looks like the other Contour cam somehow is now failing because I tried the chip in there???
