just had my first fall from 2 wheels

was coming up the hill on the way home from work... going quite slow (abour 20 kmh) and cought a patch of loose dry dirt in the middle of the lane.

front tyre slid out from under me and i hit the deck.

leg is quite sore and pants have a few rips in them.
hole in the elbolw of my jacket.

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

yeah shaken me up a little.
i dont think im a silly rider but its going to make me alot more aware of whats happening around me

[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. 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!!!

[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

[steveb64]

Bugger. Hope the next one doesn't follow too closely... ...or too fast... Put some Arnica on the bruises! ...and Aloe Vera on the grazes (if any).
