fight with a tree...
Well, I was hoping that i would be able to avoid this, but i guess not. I was taking my g/f home saturday night and there was gravel on a hairpin turn and I lost control and slid into a tree, but luckly no one was hurt and the damage isnt as bad as it could have been. Just thought id share as a warning that even if you know a road well, you never know what the road condition could be.
glad no one was hurt.

Glad you and your passengers are okay. Now, slow down.

white and whiter
ouch...but at least u guys weren't injured.
as long as the frame isn't damaged you're a-okay.
if i have a passenger in the car I usually become a slow driver.
