 Posted: 01:12 - 07 May 2006 Post subject: My first spill |
 |
|
Albeit on a Pizza bike.
It was pissing down, puddles everywhere, oil (rainbow streaks on the road) approaching the end of the road, leading onto a main road, and see a car turning onto the road, so I move onto the left to allow him some more room, but as I moved to the left, I don't know what happened, but for some reason the bike just lost all grip and ended up on the floor.
Before I knew it, my ankle was trapped under the p.o.s moped, and I panicked for a few seconds before I realised that I could lift the bike off, dusted myself off and checked to see if I wasnt hurt or anything
Bruised and sore, it's won me sympathy votes from the girlfriend! Am a bit nervous but I'm sure that'll pass. I'm pretty sure I underestimated the effects of rain and the road conditions, so it was quite stupid of me really. Lesson learned.
AND. Reassuring to know that the protective gear actually, protects.

It's got to be the best way to come off. You're not injured, nor is your bike, and you've taken away a chunk of experience which everyone needs.  |

Feel like a rite of passage, doesn't it?
The good bit is that you (sort of) know why you came off, will have more respect for similar situations and, above all, weren't hurt (bruises don't count ). Treat it as a free lesson in "What Can Go Wrong" and count your blessings. ____________________ CG125 (stolen->recovered!) || Wars do not decide who's right, only who's left. |

I hit a ford at 40mph once.
Makes standing water seem like nothing
First time I've ever seen one, had to pull over and try to shake myself dry afterwards. I couldn't understand why anyone would build a road through a river
(It's great fun in a car though, as long as you have the windows done up)
Sorry to hear about your off, but bonus about the pizza  ____________________ ::'04 Yamaha Jog:: || ::'01 Honda NSR:: || ::'00 Suzuki Swift:: || ::'89 Swift GTi:: || ::'96 Swift Poverty Spec:: || ::'92 Swift GTi:: |

Got caught about 45 miles away once, Had to ride home in the pouring rain.
Had my first experience of aqua planing, and hopefully my last :p
