    10 points for not getting hurt.

    Heres hoping that it wont happen again

    What a bummer for you. I hope your insurance will cover most of the cost for you. Glad to know that you are alright, though. That's the most important thing.

    lesson of the day dont take ur eye of the road!!!! [/QUOTE]

    This was a hard lesson I had to learn myself. Someone that I was riding with kept hand signaling me and I took my eyes off the road only to look back and see gravel on a corner which greeted me with a dump on the ground and a written off big.

    Glad to hear you came out of this today without any major injuries.

    Following distance

    Good to hear your alright. Watch that following distance, it can give you the time you need in these situations.
