Pyes Pa Petrol Run Crash

**ZeroIndex** · 26th March 2006, 18:07

Yup, that's correct folks..... before the Pyes Pa Run even started, I crashed (on my way to fuel up).

Was on a left corner, and the back suddenly went loose, came out on the right (which i knew was not good): i remember thinking *hmm.... i'm drifting, and this is gonna hurt*

managed to tuck the rear tyre back under the bike, make it through the last bit of the turn, then it jumped out again and here's the pictures of the following events.

Also, I got a ride in a Ambulance - I don't know what the hype is about... hospitals suck... the stupid bitch-doctor was trying to get me to leave way earlier than i felt comfortable with. I reckon that's the last time I'm going to a hospital...

Accident details: low-sided on left, then bike jumped around to the right and scratched the right footpeg till it went in the ditch

the scratch on my face i reckon is from the belt buckle, and if my car had been sold, QuasiMoto leather's woulda protected my hide... instead a old pair of blue trackpants, and a crappy fake leather Hallensteins jacket stopped me from damaging too much

Well at least you can spend more time on KB while the rash clears up!

Remember to replace helmet!!! easy to forget, but next time it won't protect as well! And leathers etc are a good investment too!
Get better soon

Next time perhaps you could wear jeans. May not be as good as leather but better than those thin plastic based track pants anyday.

Heal fast and ride again soon.
