[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1398460, member: 11508"] I did my ice slide on Wentworth Springs Rd. earlier this spring--posted a little about it but not much detail. I'll just say the end of the clear road was [B][I]just [/I][/B]beyond a crest I couldn't see beyond till I came over it. The "crash" was as you described it--a little like falling while skiing. The bike and I just slid along. Some bent light mounts, torqued the highway pegs around, and of [I]course[/I], broke that damn "stay" thing the mirrors are mounted on. But no damage to me, and the bike was fixed much cheaper than I expected up at Roseville. (I do believe my Canyon Cages paid off big time.) But it's no damn fun trying to keep it up when you're sliding, I found. So it's great that your injuries, if any, seem to have been minor. Sorry if we won't see you in Nakusp--it's been a while. Enjoy your next bike I know you'll be buying soon! [/QUOTE]
