Well, here's the thing.

Lead acid motorcycles are cheaper than lithium motorcycles, but they also happen to weigh more. So, when you ditch a PB Bike onto your left ankle, the ankle isn't going to be happy with that!

The worst part is how horribly self-inflicted this is. A camera mount clipped the ground on a slow-speed left-hand turn, scooting the back tire out a hair, completely changing the two-wheel dynamics and INSTANTLY ditching 400 lbs on my left ankle.

Ouch.
