Driving back from the dentist in a 30mph zone, I applied the back brake- it locked and I skidded, broadsiding the bike down the road. The result was me landing on my head and right arm in an undignified heap! I got a zero score card from numerous judges/witnesses who saw me flying through the air!- ( the dismount was great, the landing needs a bit of improvement
)
no other road users involved, driving conditions perfect, the back wheel just locked up!(at 30mph)
The damage to me...fractured/broken arm, dented pride
The damage to the bike.
tank dented, front mudguard scratched, exhaust scratched, mirror scratched, bars bent, brake lever bent,brake pedal bent, rear r hanger scratched, screen scratched, headlight shroud and indicaator damaged.I have not had too close a look at the bike though, there may be a other bits!
I have no idea what caused it and have thought maybe the bike stalled and I did not pull in the clutch- but it seems so unlikely'.
Im unsure of the repair costs- would anyone like to estaimate cost to repair...I will keep you informed on repair costs!- Is this likely to be a write off?
How foolish do I feel
P.s. I was wearing a full face helmet and full protection. Im glad it was full face as I would be adding new jaw to the body damage.
