    Had a little whoopsie today..

    Today is the first time since winter that I have actually gotten out to ride on the lease near the house. Check everything over on the 350X before I left..all A OK. I was having a blast as usual..hitting corners up there 5th-6th WOT most of the time.
    I get halfway up on the lease (5000acres) and the bike starts to feel a little weird...then it felt like the axle was coming out from under me. I looked down at the left wheel and it was woobling all over the place! Layed on both brakes and had her almost stoppeed when the wheel fell off...and I went tumbling next to it.

    Lost the damn hub nut...it was tight before I left the garage...cotter key was in also. Luckily I just came out of a T intersection so I was only 4th gear putin along when it happened...no injuries.

    I was able to limp it back to where my dad met me with the truck to get it home. I'm red locktiteing that on there this time!!!!!!!! No pics tho...I always seem to forget my camera

    Kind of ironic.
    Usually, the Tri-Z's are rattling bolts and nuts loose,and leaving the yard sale on the trails..
    This time it was a damn Honda...LOL
    Glad all is ok.

    The only injury the bike had was losing a wheel. Nothing else got scratched. The axle was dug about 4 inches into the ground by the time it stopped
