Wilsons Sandbox

Took the bike out scouting this weekend. Great mount though I need saddle bags to lower the CG. The high mounted gear made her sluggish, which aggravated the response to a car rounding a corner in the middle of the gravel road I was on. Going slow enough but when the front tire washed out as I steered for heavier gravel on the inside of the turn, I realized we were going to hit. I bailed for the inside of the corner and walked away with only a bruised knee. Bike ended up with the car's front tire bending the cowling back somewhat and leaving just a little rubber on the fork tube. Lady in the car mused that she probably should have been on her side of the road. Fired the bike up and continued the ride thankful for protective gear and looking forward to the Darien pants that should arrive tomorrow. Upside is that with my modified design sport cowling, the wind noise was less. Todd A9 (drive like the rest of 'em ain't)
