Gutting, got any pics?

Sorry to hear that Aero ... quite an impact on bike and body isn't, even at such a slow speed. Makes you think about what might happen at 100kmh doesn't it.

Am glad that nothing broke badly and that you're now wiser and safer for the new knowledge

[aer0]

of the bike? the gear? the gound i hit?

[aer0]

this is the first lot

you can see the dirt on the front wheel from the patch of road i hit

[aer0]

and the gear i was wearing... thank god for wearing the right stuff

[oldrider]

Glad you didn't hurt yourself too bad but it can happen at any age any stage.

I had my last one just a couple of years ago and my leg still hurts sometimes.

It was my own stupid fault though, it is mostly. :yes: Cheers John.

[Scorpygirl]

Ouch!! Not nice. Rest up and take it easy. Glad you were wearing the good gear. Imagine what it would have been like if you hadn't been wearing it!!! :crybaby:

[skelstar]

That sucks mate. Wainui Hill? Was up there this morning and didn't see any crap.

[Nasty]

Bummer ... if you need your gear repaired contact Spittie .. he did an awesome job on grubs gear after his off.

[Wiki Drifter]

Been there, done that... but we do learn from experiences like this
