Lesson learned!!

[BoogalooJones]

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.

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.

[BoogalooJones]

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.

[Mr Bogus]

glad you are ok but I guess I will never quite understand "laying" a bike down.. everything I have been taught says "keep it up and use the brakes" could be wrong but I guess hitting the back of a parked car is pretty bad..

[chrisrod]

That sucks dude. I wish you luck with the bike and that rash. Man that makes me think of wearing my jacket when I go out ridding, I hope that pic come's to mind b4 I get on my bike. I only have to worry about when it get's hot thats when I ride with no gear, we'll thats going to change.

[BlueHaya]

glad you are fairly ok.

Sorry to see your bike looking like that....I like that color combo.

You are supposed to post pics of your injuries, not pics of Jupiter.
