You had a bunch of angels looking over your shoulder that day.  :2vrolijk_21:  It's amazing you didn't high-side at that speed when the front wheel grabbed the pavement.  I'd say you were running on about the 90/10 scale on that one.  (90% luck/10% skill).  Glad you're okay and the bike apparently just received minor cosmetic damage.  Abso-fricking-lutely amazing!!

If you were running a car tire, you would have never crashed............... or is it......... you would have died a fiery crash.

Well You sold me on the saddlebag crash bars! I always thought they were really ugly! I have read enough lately and seen pics/ videos that it got me thinking I should have them. both for BSR and CVO paint protection. I finally gave in and ordered a set last night from Surdyke. Now to figure out what to do to keep BSR legs happy! I am sure this bar will cause her discomfort with stock peg setup. I had to move stock pegs to top hole because of bruising on her calf's from the bag lids! I know the bars will be an issue! I did not like to look of the comfort bars at all so I guess I am in the market for some adjustable peg mounts for passenger? Any suggestions? Thanks! More money.... :nixweiss:  FACE

I take it your BSR is vertically challenged if the lids of the saddlebags bruised her calves.  There are adjustable pegs out there.  I think Kuryakin makes some, but I believe they are used in conjunction with the passenger floorboards, not pegs.   :nixweiss:

Reddevil you are correct in your assumption. She is only about 5'2". Sounds like this will get expensive if I have to buy floorboards for her also. Perhaps I should be shopping for a taller BSR?   FACE  :nixweiss:

Face, if she's like any other BSR, it cheaper to keep her.  :D  She'd probably be happier with floorboards and if you get the CVO adjustable ones, they can sit up pretty high.

In the first photo I noticed that you lady extended her arm and hand out towards the pavement. That is an instinctual movement but can result in some serious injuries. I have done the same thing a few times myself in bad situations and gotten badly injured. It is really difficult not to make those instintive protective jestures, but I reccomend she practices grabbing the bike instead, so she has leverage to eject herself from the bike if needed. My wife learned about that when we hit a ditch on an ATV and she didn't grab the rear bars. Now, my wife practices that every time something startles her on the bike and actually used it to eject a few days ago when I did something stupid at a very slow speed. When I look at that picture above I just picture the bike going on over and jamming her arm into the oncoming pavement, OUCH! Glad you pulled that one out, Good job!
