Knew it was going to be a cold sob today, but we said wth lets head to ride.. The trails were really icy, the bikes( all of ours) were just being unpredictable.. Whether it was the dirt or leaves or mud.. Just was slick and icy .. So we didn't ride to to hard.. When you thought it was going to slide it didn't, when you thought it was going to hook it didn't.. My luck and making a hard turn out of another turn, my chit decided it wanted to keep on sliding, WHAP right into a tree, big enough that it didn't want to give to much :( Didn't even have time to hit the brakes.. About a mid 2nd gear run.. Got off the bike, saw a small bend in the right top arm, looked closer, saw the chrome all cracked up ( F^&K) So not sure if I am going to fix the arm and have it re chromed or just do a set of new arms.. Def sucks, but I guess you can't keep a perfect bike if you don't ride it.. On second hand my buddy broke the case on his yzf450 after the chain was blown off by a huge stick that got caught up in it.. Rant over..
