Default baptised

well, i fell 3 days ago. and it wasn't some stunt fall... whole time i'm riding at speed between 100 and 150 mph and then i fell driving 25 mph. what a shame, ha? i was driving in the town and turning on some corner and i felt my bike is sliping under me... asphalt in that street is so smooth...almost like ice. that was enough for scratching my bike's left side. but it's not so bad. it can be fixed. finally i'm baptised... like my friend said...there are two types of bikers...those who fell and those who will fall. now i'm in first group. my elbow and knee are enjured but nothing sirious.

I'm sorry to hear what happen. Well, I guess I can say welcome to the group of fallers. Hope your planning on saddling up again, take that fall as a learning experience, don't let it discourage you

i heard the same thing tday. those who have fallen and those who will. makes me think if there's anyone around who was not had any war wounds. i can say that all these stories has made me a bit more cautious, more so than i have been, especailly if road is or looks slick. now i feel like i'm fighting the sands of an hour glass.
glad to hear nothing serious happened.

Man, it's the same thing as saying you're going to wreck your car...could happen, prob not...It's a saying that every biker uses to remind ourselves that we are not invincible, and to expect the unexpected. Live everyday with a smile, and eat as much cake as you can!! lol
