DSC was on I presume?
What was the indicated speed of the corner and what did you attempt it at?
What was the weather?
Bad luck.
Hope they fix it soon...

I can feel for you ...You must have freaked when you knew traction was going south.. i am glad to hear the damage was lighter than what it could have been. I will be getting My Titanium 8 at the end of this week I hope. I too will be getting the appearence package. I hope no other damage occured, best wishes from FL.

Good to hear your ok!

I know where you're talking about. Was it foggy making the ground slick? It's usually foggy there.

What you heard, the pinball effect, was the DSC using ABS to steady the rear wheel spin out, thus allowing you to regain traction. I'm guess you didn't hit anything and the aeroflare got hit with gravel. Was it displaced or just scratched up?

How fast were you going? Be helpful to know so others will be mindful of the envelope.

Maybe this will keep folks from trying to be test pilots in the dark. Glad you are both okay.

Geez man. I knew those side aeroflares would cause trouble.

Actually, not a bad item to have to replace since they're screw-on! (If you have to replace something, I mean.)

Glad for you that you got outta this pretty ok...
