So i left work the tuesday night, at about 7:30pm
At the light i waited a good 1.5-2 minutes at a red to get on to the high way on ramp (left turn)
When the light went green, i proceeded to get into 1st gear, didn't give it alot of gas, in the middle of the turn (not even into 2nd, not goosing it) i noticed the front wheel got a little squirmy, and then all of the sudden the back end went out. I was doing ~ 5-10mph, and the bike just slipped out from underneath me. It turns out there was a large patch of dirt in the middle of the intersection... :banghead:
So, as it came down, i stood up, the bike tripped me on the way down, i came down on my left knee and ankle, not hard at all. Small road rash through the gloves and pants, wrist the size of a button, knee smaller than a quarter.
As for the bike... well of course i got picks.....
broke that part....
cracked and scuffed up
guess where it landed & rotated around....
where my foot hit when the bike tripped me....
that's about it... so about 400 bucks in parts.... uhg
i suppose i could invest in some frame sliders.... now that would be smart...
