KPX went for an unexpected dip in the creek, and so did I.
I went to mow my place out in the county, and decided to take a " long cut" home. I hit a rock so slick that I don't think any kind of tire would have made a difference. I normally wear boots, but today I just had tennis shoes, and no sock, because I was wearing shorts under my long pants, so I could be comfortable mowing. I can't believe the bike is not damaged.

Ouch! Glad you okay. My question is, Did you get the grass mowed?

The KPX sounds nice! Smooth runner.
![]() Aren't you glad it's not a 400+ lb bike!? That would have been an "adventure", especially in that slippery stuff ![]() And the extra weight would have broken a mirror, or lever, and bent the handlebar. It happened quickly, but it always does. Good recovery. ![]()

I looked it over really good yesterday, and the only damage I saw was the ball end of the front brake lever has a little bit ground off. I looked at the video again, and it's visible in the video as well. I got lucky in that regard, because that whole creek bed is hard smooth rock.
