Total (loss of) Control

Also, with grips, if you are able to roll just the first little bit back, often a line of Vaseline all the way around will help tremendously.

I was trying to use the grip glue as the lube and have piece of mind it would dry as an adhesive but I ended up using WD-40 after wrestling too long with those grips and getting blisters on both palms..  Vasilne is a great suggestion (Ha! this is all so ripe for a joke but I will hold back).  I am going to stop by the Home Depot after work today and try what Zoom suggested with the 5/16 fuel hose, also need to pick up a small drill bit to drill the hole in the handle bar where the throttle body mount bracket protrusion goes.  A lot more work than I would have thought, but good stuff.

hi Scott,

get offs aren't supposed to be contagious...
sounds like a nice tryout for the chia pet - moto racer edition

seriously though, i'm so glad you're all right. 
thanks for sharing - it's a good lesson for us all.
