Had my unfortunate incident 4/25. It was a beautiful day in Pa with temps in the 80's. To celebrate this unseasonally warm weather I went to run some errands and decided not to wear my leather. That was mistake 1. Mistake 2 was not keeping my eyes on the traffic ahead. As I was turning to wave a friend passing by, the minivan I was following stopped to make a left turn. Til I turned my head she stopped dead. I dont remember seeing a turn signal but I take responsibilty since I was watching the road. I had time to lay the bike down and I rolled past the van on the left side and ended up in the intersection. The bike hit the minivan bumper. God was with me because I only got some rash on my knee, forearm and shoulder after I rolled 30 ft. in a t-shirt and jeans and helmet. Needless to say lesson learned. Pay attention, wear proper gear and thank God for a chance to ride again. Last edited by BoogalooJones; 05-09-2009 at 04:32 PM. |

Sorry to see this post. Glad you are okay other than the rash. ATGATT is my rule. I have had too many close calls from my dirt biking days.

Actually the worst rash I got is on my side. I rolled so the legs and arms aren't much worse than if I woulda crashed a bicycle. The side however is where I took the initial impact. Slightly graphic but not gory.

Ouch! Glad you are still posting, no matter how hot, I wear full leather. It sucks sometimes, but dam, just glad you are alive.
