    eek Another written off bike added to the list

    Well today I decided to go for a ride, coming around a non speed rated corner (that is notorious for bike accidents) at about 100-110kmph. I happen to find the biggest pot hole in the corner which causes the front wheel to lift just enough for it to slide out from under the bike and then rolls bowls and assholes all over the road with me doin the same (I let go) into a ditch on the other side.

    I havent had a decent look at it yet but from the glimpse i saw (before the ambulance arrived) id say itll be written off .

    And to make things worse they had to cut all of my gear off me so they could check me over and see if anythings broken, suspected broken ribs and sprained knee.

    The cop that attended the crash said that im lucky to be alive just because of where i finally ended up.

    Sad day for me
    If Wile. E. Coyote could afford all that ACME crap, why didnt he just buy dinnner?

    Yeah, ditto to that.

    Shame about the bike and the gear, but you come first.

    Pot hole on a corner.

    Rotten luck.

    Amazed that you are able to post so soon after.

    Hope it all heals up soon.

    If nobody else was involved... they seldom do.

    Were you looking at the pot-hole before you "found" it ???
