Crashed My Bike the Other Day

intersections sketch me out! mafukaz be not lookin...


front wheel washed out in a u-turn (12-15mph) on the electric bike earlier this summer.. no helmet.. got some fancy looking facial scars to prove it

when i got my XJ650 in July I didnt hesitate for a FF helmet and rated jacket.

safety first!

 

glad your ok,,ya even at a stand still dropping bike because side stand retracts (did the same thing) twisted ankle and burns,and dam near threw back out liftin it cause ankle was pinned, my most embarrasing one was after a great ride, full leathers, 3 hours riding,,came home gearin down nicely pull in to turn out agaisnt curb and wham on the ground,,stupid wet leaves. as my head was level with pavement i watched my signal assembly rolling past me, one of those hope nobody was watching kinda thing,

 

Glad your ok and the bike didn't get it too bad either. Sometime the best thing to happen to a rider is to go down once. After I had my first real crash I started paying a lot more attention to what I was doing...REALITY CHECK......(i'm not invincible).......lol. Remember there are only two kinds of bikers, those who have been down and those who are going down. Be safe!!!!!!!!!

 

"Vortex" not this was in coquitlam not boundary must been another unfortunate rider ....

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Doctor said the lung cleared up in 5 days after the crash, not to shabby. But I was still in bit pain, he said i probably bruised a couple ribs too. That was a while ago I'm 95% better, still feel is slightly.

But I'm back riding and it feel good. Catching the tail end of the vancouver riding season. Last year i rode till mid october because of all the sun we got. Stopped riding when there was frost on my seat in the morning lol.

"tcarr" that’s the attitude I'm taking through this experience. I always knew the reality/risk of riding, but it feel a little more real now i guess. I am definitely more cautions.

 

Go easy man.
