I low sided her.

During lunch break I ran to the corner store and on my way back I lost the rear tire due to gravel.

Injury wise I have a sprained wrist and fist sized road rash on my knees, my jacket kept my torso from harm.

Bike wise.....I have no idea it is dark and I do not want to look at her....though I will post pics later

Sorry for your off... glad your reasonably unharmed.  

Bikes can be fixed relatively easily, people not so much... have a beer now and take a look at her in the light of morning  :beer:

Ice everything that hurts now and take some motrin. Bike will be fine I'm sure. Bummer for sure but welcome to the those that been down club. 


#4
Any crash you walk away from and subsequently can write about is a good crash.

Roadrash suggest normal pants....
Well, if you can do the time... :-)

What Rush2112 and Dutchy said. Glad you are ok! 


#6

Good thing you're ok :)


#7
Be sure to get proper medical care for that road rash. Knee infections are nothing to mess around with and hard to solve.

Shake  off,  get  back on  the ol'girl .   Glad  your ok.

Here's to a speedy recovery for you and the bike. Been there myself so I know it takes awhile to regain your confidence.

Condolences. Best to view it as a new notch on your experience belt. Always something to be learned from every negative event.

Heal fast. Ride safe.
