coming off baby yesterdayUsually am kitted out with full protective gear but as i was only popping to b&q just had jeans on,ouch.lesson learnt there,sliding along the road with a bike on top of you is fookin painful,no matter how slow you were going!!And now shes off the road again needing new forks
Upside is at least now i can myself a true biker and i,m gonna have a cool scar to show off
bugger! jus goes to show!glad youre ok! i used to wear a pinstripe suit on the bike when Photographing wedding's[with camera swinging round me neck] as the bike beat's the standstill traffic on busy summer saturday's in Weymouth it's a disaster waiting to happen luckily it never did but i was real plonker! keep meaning to get some kevlar reinforced Jeans.
The things some peeps will do to become a 'true' biker!
Can't wait to see the scar - is it on your butt? it better!
This lass is gonna cost me a small fortune in lekky bands!
(might buy u a brandy on Sat night, just to cheer u up, tho)
WB.It's someone who wont take no for an answer & seems to think I should be atracted simply because she says I ought to be,might be a block coming up Hope you're ok Cassie.
thank you all for your kind words peeps.I'm fine,badly bruised and swollen in a couple of places but nothing broken and i got to walk away (well hobble is maybe a better way of putting it) so all's well.
Will take you up on that brandy xk but don't think the lecky bands will do the job this time.Scars on my knee by the way!!only blue gets to see my butt.
Not sure what happened Stella,one minute i'm turning under a bridge and the next i'm under the bike inches away from a van.luckily the driver saw what was happening and had already stopped and him and his mates picked baby and i up.The road is always wet under that bridge so that prob had something to do with it.
Poor Blue is running around like the proverbial,maybe he should get the brandy!!
Will soon be back on the road tho
glad to hear you've walked away from yer off me dear......another lesson n experience to add to your riding portfolio methinks:o)...........................
Glad to hear you are OK, and the the lesson wasn't too painful.
Welcome to the club, like a lot of other people I learned to wear leathers the same way.
Sounds like a patch of diesel. Few years back on the hottest day of the year I was riding to work in shirt sleeves, no jacket. Like you, one second I was OK, then suddenly on a roundabout I wasn't. If I'd had a jacket I'd have been all right with only my dignity damaged, and a few more scratches on a well-scratched bike anyway. As it was, the nurse said I was within a whisker of a skin graft on my arm after I'd slid down the road. Look like you, Prof and I have all learned the same lesson - we three and thousands of others. Glad to hear you're more or less OK - that's the main thing.
