so the title pretty much says it all.
on saturday i was heading north on "empire grade road" (from Santa Cruz) and was going to take "236" over to "highway 9" then head back south to santa cruz....
as i made the right hand turn from "empire grade road" there was sand & gravel across both lanes of traffic....
since this is pretty much a downhill full of 180 hairpins i slowed down to bout 20 - 25..... yet as soon as i saw the sand, i hit the sand, as soon as i hit the sand i hit the ground.... :mad
not going very fast so mostly scrapes and scratches.
what pisses me off is, that morning i was going to go on a group ride, woke up late so i decided to go for a short ride, and not get crazy or go too fast. so i decided to go down a less traveled road and go NICE and SLOW.....
another thing that pisses me off is that i was going to take off the stock turn signals (you could land a plane with those things) and i was going to replace them with flush mounts or something, but decided i was just going for a short ride.... i'll do it when i get back.
because of that the turn signal on the side i tip over ripped out and CRACKED my fairing. :mad
so does anyone know of a body shop where i can get this Bondo or something.
or do you think i should just buy a whole new fairing? :mad
its a small hairline crack on the fairing and the turn signal ripped the fairing a little. i will post pics up later as i havent taken any yet.
any suggestions as to how or where to repair would be appreciated. thx
