Pucker indeed! Did exactly that on Wentworth Springs Rd some years back before they repaved it all the way to Ice House Rd. I was hauling a$$ on the ZX-11D out of Stumpy Meadows towards Eleven Pines Rd into the long straight there and hit huge heaves in the road from all the logging trucks. When into a tank slapper at probably 60 mph and scariest moment I think in the last 100,000 miles of riding.

Stayed up, and pulled right to side of the road and just stood there for quite awhile. Shaking is right!

Great pics! Did North South Rd & Momon Emigrant today. Skipped Ice House though. Maybe next ride!

Looks like fun..glad you made it through okay.

What's up with the picture frame hanging off the tail?  It probably had enough drag to save your @ss on that sweeper.

Ya thats things gotta go   im gonna clean the tail up and maybe get a gel seat cause one things for sure it aint NEARLY as comfortable as the busa....300 miles felt like 600 on the busa....

I was on a friends new Triumph 675 and it felt like I was sitting on wood. The edge just dug into my inner thighs.
