My Wake Up Call (binned it)

[Momentum]

Well went on a ride with some kb people from hamiltron this afternoon.

Now I have not been riding long but I have clocked up 8000k's on the and not Bined it. Little did i know that was about to all change today.

So yeah I was not feeling to bad about my riding having clocked up 8000k's in 4 months. I was starting to think I was an ok rider. Never really did anything stupid alway watched what I was doing.

Well I was behind John on his DT175 starting to enjoy the roads. When we came to a bit of a tight right hander slight downhill.
I was not going to fast at alL maybe about 45 to 50k's hit a little bit of a dip or bump in the road witch put me off abit and put me off line and I ran wide on the corner. As soon as the wheels hit the grass the bike was go right out from under me. landed on my right knee and hip did the head over heels trick and landed on my ass. Got up and yelled the F word about 10 times then picked the bike up.

So I now have a hole in the knee of my shift jeasn, my helmet is a bit scratched up, dirt all over my leather jacked, dirt all over my boots, some little cracks in the ferrings and one side has some light scratching all over it, and the frame that holds the blade on is abit bent.
And last but not least abit of a dented ego too

SO YEAH I GOT A WAKE UP CALL THATS FOR SURE.

All and all I did not come off to badly. Thank God for that one.

Ferrings are already off and are going to go drop them off tomorrow. The bike is all loaded up. Its getting droped off tomorroow to get the front end checked out. To make sure its all lined up as it should be

Welcome to the bin club, unfortunately the membership initiation can be rather painful though...sorry to read it and i hope you heal up soon!

[Momentum]

[kiwifruit]

Sorry to hear that man,
at least you came out ok.
I hope you spring back from your fall

[bugjuice]

that sucks dude..
take it on the chin and just watch for it next time.. it happens, just learn and carry on..

Hope you ain't too stiff tomorrow, and hope the bike isn't too beat up

It was a tricky little piece of road. Lots of camber changes and a few ripples and bumps on some of the corners. There were a number where you tip it one way, stand her up, over the hump and tip it the opposite direction.

A few minutes later I had a classic moment while doing a u turn. What an arse. Strained my thigh trying to catch it.

[Meanie]

Sorry to hear about that dude, your lucky to walk away reasonably unscathed
I had a few spills when i was younger and was always very lucky to not need a ride in the white van with cherrys on top
We all need a wake up call now and then to remind us we arnt invincible

[erik]

Sorry to hear that. Glad you're ok though

[metric]

bummer bro

good to hear that it wasn't too bad...

[Momentum]

yeah I am glade i am not to bad ay. it may not cost alot to fix but its just bad timing. Becaue I am saving for going to the States again to work at summer camp.

I was starting to think I was an ok rider. Never really did anything stupid alway watched what I was doing.

Here's why you binned. Wrong attitude. You say you were not going to fast. Wrong. You were riding to the edge and when you needed to make a correction for the bump you were going fast too do so. You were lucky a car or bike was not coming the other way. A wake up call is no good unless you learn from it.

Just not too sure you have learnt anything today. Hope my post rings alarms bells in you. Next time you cross the centre line you may not be so lucky.

dirt all over my leather jacked,

You get that jacket cleaned up its bad for business.



Sorry to hear about that mate, keep positive learn and you can grow old like me !

[avrflr]

Sucks, doesn't it. Never mind the lecturers they're not invincible either. A wise man once told me: "Sometimes the jandal chooses you"

[Motu]

That can happen trying to keep up with a dirt bike....hope your spelling gets better soon....

Dude you are a Wanker you were not even there you do not even know what happened i did not even cross the center line. I was not ridding hard at all I was not riding on the edge at all I felt way within myself. Ask Road Rash I ride with him all the time and I never try and push it hard.

All I can say to you is GET FUCKED
