Sucks about the spill but it's fantastic news that Barry's all right!  Bonus that the bike doesn't seem too bad.

Inquiring minds want to know!

I am not real sure what happened with DA and his wreck. Him and his bike are supposed to have been picked up today around noon. He will probably post up when he gets home. Have not talked to any of them today.

Very glad to hear Barry is OK, too bad about the bike but wtf, it can be replaced.

Just got off the phone with Barry. He may have a cracked rib and he has some swelling in his wrist. Otherwise he's fine. I think his pride is hurt more than his body. We were exiting off the interstate onto one of the old cloverleave type exits. He wasn't doing over 35 MPH or so. The rear tire slid and the bike went into a wobble back and forth and tried to go straight. He said all of a sudden he had absolutely no control over it. The rear tire is slick and it's no longer crowned, it's flat across the bottom. I've seen Barry ride and he's as good of a rider as I've seen. BAD TIRE.

CHANGE WORN TIRES before you have a problem.(deepsouth eagle? You reading this?) If you see one of your brothers with a slick tire, make sure he gets a new one! Barry's a great guy, an excellant rider, We all wanna see him around to ride for years to come.

This photo shows he's ok. He had to ride bitch with Don (TwoLaneRider) to get to the motel. He was gracious enough to grab a girl's bandana and jump on for the photo Op.

Man, hate to hear about Barry going down, but hope the injuries are not too bad.  Sounds like he needs to have that wrist x-rayed as well...could be a hairline fracture.  The main thing is he is up and walking around.  Hope the bike gets repaired/replaced to his satisfaction.

Well all,

I am home and showered and the bike is at the shop. Got banged pretty good.
Wrist and rib bad...the rest just aches. Going to have someone I know xray it monday...
but I dont think its broke.

Brain...I will take you up on the offer...thanks...your a good man. I will pm you with number when I feel better. Its taking awhile to type this.

To all who want to know what happened. It just perplexes me how this could have happened. After a fun filled day of high speed curves I loose it at normal, to lower than speeds just exiting on a off ramp. My tire tread was getting low but after a day on the road, it just disapeared,after the accident we noticed the tire was bald.(Iwill never run a tire this low agian!) As I was exiting...and just getting ready to accelerate a little bit into the curve the ass end just slid out of know where and jumped back quickly into a tank slapper and nothing seem to correct it. I was just going to have to go straight and find a place to land. Landing was unsuccessful...but since I wasnt going that fast... I am alive to talk about it. If the tire did this fifteen minutes before on the big sweep on the parkway...I wouldnt be here typing. I have been riding my whole life and other than a few dirt bikes and mini bikes trashed when I was a kid and one little fender ding on a bike in college...this is my first biker down...and hopefully my last. Thanks to all who posted. Me and the bike will survive. I pray this will never happen to any of you who read this. Check your tires!!! I am sore and going to rest.

Thanks,
Barry

OK...one more post then rest.

Ken,

I new you were dying to post that...

Guys... I was just trying to make light of a bad deal. They all loved the fact that I had
to ride bitch. But I had to have dinner and needed a ride.  I also had to force hard liquor down to help with the pain...worked a little but didnt get much sleep.

I will be back on the horse as soon and the wrist and rib get better!!!
