The bike fell onto it's left hand side, and I rolled over my shoulder and ended up sliding down the road head first on my back and the bike was pirrouetting along a few yards ahead of me.
Damage to me : incredibly stiff shoulder, grazed shin.
Damage to bike: Abstract redesigned gear-lever (fixed already with the aid of Big Hammer 2.4) Ex-Shiny Exhaust guard now resembling a file (as it was main thing that the bike was spinning around on, several times), and the wrap-around hand guards are a little lop-sided.
Peripherals: I'm pretty damn certain that the jacket's not waterproof anymore, due to the gaping hole in the arm. But my boots (hand-made to order) are luckily in perfect condition... and I needed a new helmet anyway.
Mood: \o/ (Better to need a new helmet than a new head.)
The best part was that i slid along the grass verge next to the road... and it was severely bumpy. I had a few seconds fearing broken bones, but managed to practice my rag-doll impression and came off relatively fine.
It sucks to be in any sort of situation like that, but when you can stand on your own and walk away relatively unharmed, you are very fortunate. Glad to hear you're ok. |
