well It Finally Happened - I Went Down

[Garrett]

On Christmas eve no less. Coming up 3A and a cager must not have seen me as he pulled right into my lane and I grabbed the front brake a little too much, road was a lil slick. Handle bars cut left and pulled my right wrist, bike went down on the left and I slid a good 50-60ft.
Rashed up my knees and back real nice and broke my wrist in three places.

Could have been a lot worse so thank science it wasn't. Bike doesn't seem too worse for wear.

Happy holidays! I'm gonna pop another perc and watch the bruins

Speedy recovery.

[tsorfas]

Well damn. Heal up quick.

[Trajiks9]

[Petorius]

[LuvDog]

[carsick]

We need more pics of the bike to make sure it's really OK.
Sucks about the wrist, heal well.

Heal quick, it's a tough time of year. Despite the warm weather no one is looking for bikes.

"Thank Science..."!!!

Heal up dude. Spring 'll be here before you know it!

[Garandman]

Heal up. I think you're supposed to drink a lot of medicinal Bourbon.

Heal up dude. Spring 'll be here before you know it!

I laughed. Heal up, that was a shitty xmas present.

[Imbeek]

Sounds like you got off easy, all things considered. Good luck healing up

I often laugh when I hear this because I don't think cagers are ever actually looking for us no matter what time of year or how many bikes are out.

Sorry to hear bout your get off, but it happens to all of us eventually, you are lucky your able to tell the story of what happened. I truly believe having a crash makes you a better rider, I know I learned a lot from my low side last fall, just don't let it scare you away from this sport we all love!!

[SVRACER01]

just tell everyone that you "had to lay it down". makes it sound like you did it on purpose.

[stoinkythepig]

That sucks, but glad you did not get injured more seriously. Should be good to go for Spring.

while this could be true, they are even LESS looking out for motorcycles now.

[Garandman]

It was after one such, ahh, "detour" that I started buying road bikes with ABS brakes. Crashing hurts....

[Degsy]

Heal up man.

[maxim_X]

Heal up! I feel your pain.
