ouch .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8__EwAT8VM at 12-16mph on a left hand turn , on a road that Ive rode many times , to have a random pile of nearly spherical gravel in the middle of the intersection (dead center in the left turn as I was doing) as SOON as the front tire touched the "puddle of marbles" (gravel) the leaning bike n I just plumb fell over

snapped left peg and mirror off , but highway peg I had installed acted as crashbars protecting ALL paint and motor :)

and I only sustained a mear scratch on the elbow and a sore shoulder

but needless to say , 5K + miles , n bike finally down for 1st significant amount of time (for new parts) of nearly 90% highway miles @ 70mph indicated (62-65 mph) :(

it did have some hickups out the box , voltage regulator relpaced , headlight replaced with car sealed beam , converting to LED's in rear taillight or they would just break at ever hard bump , blinker relay that the voltage regulator killed , battery and battery box mod to fit vent hose and allow charger hook up , chain tensioner , air pump deleat , conversion to a 625?from the stock 520 chain to have more front sprocket options and 2 front and 3 rear sprockets to find the perfect ratio 2.0588 for sustainable speed/rpm engine sound for a 165lb man in flatland texas at 70 indicated , but I also have I car tire on the rear so the smaller size greatly effect the ratio vs stock

but Ive noticed the engine still has the throat of the honda CG 125 motor that it is , so I can only really get down is when its mighty chilly the airs thicker thus if the winds my direction , hovering +/- 80 mph doable , the warmer it gets thinner air the less my max atainable , Ive been concidering some kinda mini turbo :p
