I was driving the interstate near my home about 2 months after I got my Sporty. Came around a blind curve on an interchange and the traffic was dead stopped. I hit the brakes, pavement was nothing but black ice and I ended up going in circles. Bounced off the guardrail on the right side of the highway and took out the front bumper. Slid across the road to the guardrail on the opposite of the ramp and took out the back bumper. Nothing else scratched or anything. The guardrail did stop me from going over a 50 ft embankment though and there was no traffic behind me so I kind of lucked out. I ended up buying a winch bumper from Dave with the insurance money. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
