so now i know what its like to fall off...

[2strokegirl]

last night i managed to fall off and i dont even know how.:angry2:
i was slowing down and my bike fell out from under me slid about 4 meters down the road and ended up with the bike on my head.(thank you to who ever invented helmets:clap:)

its so wierd how things can go so totaly wrong.

owel itl give my mates something to laugh about over the next few weeks.:lol:

[Aitch]

marbles?
How on earth did you get hte bike on your head? That must have been really really difficult!
Good to hear you're ok, one day you'll look back and laugh.....

[Macktheknife]

You sound like you are not hurt, so that is good news, remember a helmet is only good for one spill so yours needs replacing now.
Take care
Mack

just a road burn on my back but its not to bad. just got my bike back and its not to bad. broken indicator a little scratch on the side and on the exaust. and the gear leaver was facing backwards but my mates fixed it for me.
runs fine. i just gotta get back in the saddle now.

[Meekey_Mouse]

Good to hear you and your bike are relatively ok :2thumbsup

[Nasty]

I am so glad you are ok ... the road burn does not sound good ... hope you heal well .. take some anica! brings out the buising something wicked and helps you to heal!! :cool:

[hospitalfood]

crashing is an important part of riding, road burn is a good result............well done on your crash and hope you don't have another.

[Chickadee]

wonder if you got a patch of diesel? That's slippery stuff that can wash a bike out real easy - bad luck I'd say more than anything.

Glad you're okay!

[deanohit]

At least you didn't fall off for being a pratt or anything like me on Friday. Me an EJKDDORAI were playing on some grass when I hit a damp patch, did the biggest drift ever and ended up doing almost a 180 before falling off the back. Only thing damaged was the 2 brake levers which I bent straight later.
Good to hear your ok with minimal damage to the bike. Was the helmet very damaged? I know it won't be any good now,just curious as to how it faired after having a bike land on top of it.

crashing is an important part of riding



Dang! I wuz doin' it all wrong fer the last 35 years...!:(

[Puddlejumper]

Glad to hear you are ok and yes, falling off happens to most of us sometimes. Probably was a bit of diesel, or maybe just the road markings. I tipped off many years ago while braking as I went over the road marking. As you ride more you will find that you start to feel the way the bike is on the road and without even realizing it will make small compensations so you don't tip over. Best of luck with your riding.

good to see both you and bike are ok. Get a new helmet now. And hope you learnt something from this. As mentioned both the riding and the making of mistakes makes us all learn. Just do not make a BIG mistake!

Now get out on that bike again!

[LilSel]

opps... shit happens aye... glad your alright :):sunny:

[2strokegirl]

my helmet is ok i thort it would have come out the worst but my jacket looks like it came out worse than my helmet the elbow is almost warn through and the same on the back:crazy: thank god it was leather:sweatdrop!!

i think first thing is get a new helmet though my head is more important.

[Squiggles]

bad luck, get a new helmet, quite often they look all good from the outside, but if you were to cut it open it'd be munted inside.

Ahahaha It's still funny :lol::lol::lol:
Well, the grass was slippery as hell lol

[bomma]

heya glad to hear you're alright!! and yes get a new helmet, you can use the old one as a pot or something coz thats bout all its good for now.....and yes again to "falling is a part of biking" but make sure you keep it a very small part :)

get back on the saddle asap and ull b gettin your knee down again before ya know it ;)

nish

[Mr. Peanut]

My mate did the same thing on a GPX, those front discs are shocking in the wet!!

[delusionz]

another gpx bites the dust :(


at least your bones aren't broken like mine :D

[2strokegirl]

i still dont know how i managed to come off in a strait line though lmao.

my gpx is still going strong they are pritty solid lil buggers i thought i would have crackd the fairing or somethinh but nope the only thing that was munted was the indicator fairings just have a little scratch.

i went back to where i fell off my slide marks are alot longet than what i thought. il try put some photos of my slide up later lol.

[duckonin]

any chance of slipping on anything wet roads ect,TRY not to use the front brake, and if you have to use it doit very very gently straight line or other wise, for your front wheel will disapear before you can blink..

Pleased you all right...get back on you are learning fast take care....

[2strokegirl]

my tires are capeable of doing stoppies without sliding out so there had to of been something on the road lol. out of the whole road i had to brake on a tiny patch of something slipery. haha.

got back on the bike it felt so wierd!! crusing down my road i was freaking out then i was away again im glad it hasent efected my confidence to much.

[007XX]

Really sorry to hear about your spill...Hope you're ok!

The good thing about this now, is that you have experienced it, and you know what it feels like: add it to your load of knowledge, it's surprising how much your mind and body will have learnt from the experience.

Glad you're nearly all OK. You gotta get that head seen to though - some places won't let you in with fancy headware. ;);)

Good to hear that you are ok, had a big 'moment' myself today!Came into this corner on a back gravel road way too hot and had it all crossed up. Was just planning on where I should 'lay it down' when I relised that I had got away with it JUST!Tell ya what, I rolled off the throttle for a few corners after that :eek5:
