What a day

So i put over 138 miles on the bike today and had a nice ride through mammoth cave national park (beautiful place). However it was not un-eventful day. I left the park and decided i would ride over to a good friends house and that's when all the good stuff happened.

1. I was coming around a curve on back road and dog runs out and try's to bite front tire (still in turn). I have no clue how a did not dump the bike, i remember sitting the bike up straight and then clutched in/breaks (haha it was reving crazy, still had throttle opened, but clutch held). I heard a loud squeal and dog ran off to side of road(all happened in less the 2 seconds). So being the animal person i am i went back to check on dog and the older lady was apologizing etc, i just wanted to make sure the dog was ok(i thought the front break etc hit his head). He was ok and the loud squeal must of been from front tire locking up and i guess i released break with out even thinking about ti. actually i did everything with out thinking it happened so fast. I'm not sure what that means, but this is a long post and your still reading so i thought i would keep typing to make your eyes blood shot at this point in this post. :D


2. the funnies thing, first time i drop a bike ever was backing it out of my buddy's drive way (gravel). I had to back up a slight incline and right foot slipped out. The bike was past the point of stopping, so i just let the seat slide down my right leg. No damage other then ego  :thumb:

P.S: I picked that 400 or so pound beast up and kept on going :2guns:

Mammoth cave! Went there last summer. Awesome park, great tours... Even did a cave climbing one for nearly 6 hours, really fun!
