Luck of the Irish.

[Wag]

But I'm not Irish. More of a mutt, actually.

Late last year, I dumped the Busa. https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/general-bike-related-topics/98407-dumped-morning.html

The spleen injury I had was pretty minor but the reality is, I could have died, even from such a low-level mishap. Got really lucky there.

Anyhoo, yesterday I was prepping the Busa for a ride. I haven't ridden for at least three or four months and was taking my time, checking and rechecking everything I could. When I was cleaning the rear cowling, I saw a lot of black scuff marks which looked like boot scuffs. I proceeded to clean them all off. Then my slow brain kicked in and I checked my boot.

Time to go buy a lottery ticket!

All the gear, all the time! Thank you for the reminder. That would have been bad if you had gone with street shoes. ???

gear gear gear..... so you think ankle bone and skin would have been painful?

Yeah, that woulda hurt. I've seen the photos of guys who have had that injury. Not what I want AT ALL!
