3 mins away from my front door i come off my bike, went to break and the bike went from underneath me i wasnt even going that fast only about 20mph
the worst thing i wasnt wearing any protective trousers just my old jacket that i used to have and a pair of work trousers, im suffering now though with the graze i got on my knee
damage to bike, gear linkage damaged, and mirror snapped and clutch lever snapped thats all the farings is ok it went down on the left side
damage to me, knee sore and damaged pride no person even stopped to see if i was ok tbut the classic bit of it was while i was trying to select netral a cop car turned the way i was going then into the estate where i live and didnt even bat an eyelid
Make sure it is just a graze - I thought I had just grazed my knee once - it looked just like yours - months later I discovered I had a broken patella.
Urgh! Bet the shock was more disturbing than the blood at first. Hope you mend quickly. Get yourself down to the doc just to get checked out. At least there is a large tin of Quality Street to tuck into.
And I know what you mean about people not stopping I was lying in the road and car drivers were mounting the pavement to get round and carry on. Would mind 1 or 2 but 12 (as counted by a guy who came running out from a building near by.
The question in the back of my mind at the moment is “would ABS made a difference?”.
GWS and hope it doesn’t cost a knee to get the bike sorted.
Sorry to hear this mate, if only you had had those cellotaped knee pads in your strides things might not be as bad. Give us a shout if you need me to come and wack you over the head with a spoon to take the pain away from your knee.
that looks sore. It’s a bit crap that no one stop to offer some help.
