asphalt hurts
As I found out today. Think the RGV seized on me today... unfortunately whilst I was doing 110.
End result - Near new Arai - ruined
Brand new mirrored visor for said Arai - ruined
Brand new gloves - ruined
The RGV? - dunno. Some rather kind local happened to have their trailer with them so the've taken it to their farm - top sorts!!!
That said, I'm glad I invested in good quality riding gear as I'm in relatively good shape.
At least now I know what it feels like to highside a bike...

Highsiding an RGV, I still don't remember what it feels like.
Hope you are OK champ, if you need a hand fixing her up, just shout.
My bet is you've dropped a valve.

Round a corner it's pretty easy, I always ride with my fingers on the clutch because of it. The back locks, swings round, then grips.
Similiar to a standard highside, just a lot quicker, you'd be on the deck before you realise what's happening.

Bummer dude that sucks ass.
I've managed to grab the clutch b4 to avoid a highside form a seizure at $1.40 before. took me hours to stop shakin.
I'm glad your ok but please take some pain killers to pre-empt the pain in the morning.

Glad to hear you're ok dude! How're the injuries?
By the sounds of things it would've been pretty damn spectular to see from a bystander's point of view....
As said before, bike and bits can be replaced - you can't.

ow, bad luck.
This is why i'm thinking best powervalves i can get, and a rebuild sooner rather than later 
*really* not looking forward to my first highside... accidents from my own stupidity fair enough... mechanical failure... not a fan...
