Duane, Thank you very much for taking the time to pen such a painful event. I use to test mine on the road also, but will DEFINITELY STOP doing that! I'm very sorry that you have been hurt and my thoughts and heartfelt sympathies go out to you. I have experienced some pretty extensive road rash that nearly ground off a few bones. I hope you are pleasantly surprised by the healing powers of the amazing human body.
All the best GWN Daren PS. I'm glad I didn't sell my GTS at that time, although I seriously considered it.
