Well, it was my turn today....I wrecked the bike....and my wife was along for the ride too... We were headed down a mountain, and were taking a low speed corner. We couldn't have been going more than 30 mph. I am blaming it on the pipes that we put on it. The Vance and Hines pipes that we have on it are actually lower than stock. We scrape pipes before we scrape pegs, so it becomes a pivot point at greater lean angles. That is what happened today, and I think next I am going to send V&H an email, because they may want to consider a design change!!! If we are friends on Facebook, don't say anything there, my wife hasn't been able to talk to her dad yet.
Did I mention that I was recording with the Gopro? Below is the vid, and I want to say that in the video the turn is deceiving, but the photos tell the story a little better.

We are okay, I think that I bruised my ribs, because it is hard to breathe, that is what all the noise is about, because that hurts like hell!! I have a little rash on my wrist where it pushed my jacket up, and some on my hip since I slid, and a few bruises. My wife has some rash on both knees, but not too bad. She also had a swollen wrist, and some rash on her fingers since her glove ripped.
