    Looks like you need some more lessons.

    Good to know that you and the bike came out ok.

    18 years old. I hope you ride better than you spell. Must be a chronic texter. That shorthand is killing the English language as we know it.

    The gravel ate your arm? Were you wearing gear? Doc, is this time for a gear lesson?

    May want to invest in a decent textile jacket, at the minimum.

    It's better to sweat than to bleed.

    ICON makes gear to go along with the Field Armor Vest, for those that don't want a whole jacket. These are the Field Armor Arm/Elbow guards they sell to go along with the vest. They also sell knee/shin gaurds and boots in the Field Armor line.

    Hey man, sorry to hear that.

    Definitely could use a jacket, even a jean jacket would be better than a tee-shirt with that chest armor. Jean is still cool, right?
    Glad you and the bike are okay. That chain get changed out?

    Sorry about your get off. At least I think that's what happened.

    I wanted to respond earlier but normally when I'm reading I breath when I come across a period. Your post caused me to pass out.

    Was this some sort of Flinstone stop? If so, how did your rear tire give out without a foot on the brake?

    Those two statements do not agree. Glad you're ok.

    Good luck brother, keep the shiny side up and you might wanna wear a jacket next time. That road rash is a bitch.
