HAHA! Hellbilly,you're a nut.

ATGATT. Thanks for the explanation. I do ok about gear,but could do better.I always have helmet and armored jacket on,but I only have blue jeans and I rarely wear gloves unless it's cold enough to need them. I worry about my knees/legs if I do go down,just havent figured out what to do about it yet. I cant see me wearing chaps because alot of the times I running errands on the bike and it would just be awkward and weird.I know,safety is more important,just being honest with you guys and gals. I think the biggest thing I need to do is just slow down and enjoy the scenery.

CDA,I totally misunderstood you question.Sorry. NO,the bike did not slam to a stop.When the tire grabbed the light it pulled it forward and down. That caused it to yank the rear wiring harness down which pulled the inner fender with it. The inner fender was cocked sideways and dragging the tire and the ground,but it wasn't completely locked up. I found the light to the left of the bike.Apparently it rolled thru the chain and got spit out on that side.There is one mark that looks like the sprocket bit it and there was alot of little bits of wire in the chain.I picked all those out before I rode it home and checked to chain for a bent or twisted link. It seemed ok,but i still need to look it over real good.
