    Was out riding today and was turning onto another street and hit a patch of loose gravel. Layed the bike over. Bent the handle bars and my rear brake pedal. and skinned my knee up pretty good. Other than that im ok and so is the seca. Started right back up and rode her home. Gonna throw a set of new handle bars on and either bend my break pedal back of get a new one.

    I've got a brake pedal. You can have it if you want.

    Be sure to check the clutch cover. My SECA was knocked over in a parking lot and the brake pedal knocked a hole in the cover. I dropped it on a patch of gravel and had to do a side of the road repair with drywall mesh and JB weld.

    ouch, good to hear you're both ok.

    Gameover, that kind of offer is one of the biggest things I love about riding, that old school brotherhood shit. Kudos.

    Yes i was wearing jeans, No holes in the jeans but my knee is skinned up. Idk how that works. And i was wearing my joe rocket ballistic series jacket. Clutch cover is fine i checked that. I replaced my handle bars with some drag bars i had sitting in the garage. I rebent my break pedal with a vice it works just fine.

    My nice shiny chrome exhaust pipe is scuffed up and bent in but id rather have function over form.

    Bike is back on the road now with new handle bars and a break peddle i fixed fixed her up in like half an hour. Im only 19 years old and im pretty freaking handy with motorcycles or anything with a motor. Id rather do the work myself than pay a shop to do it.

    Thanks for your concern guys!

    Yep, i'm always lookin for the line without the gravel on corners. Tractors are out doing land, and the like to mess with the gravel on corners.
