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.

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.
