Not what I expected on my ride home

[scouse]

I came around a corner and hit some leaves
The front end washed out and well here's the result

Gutted is an understatement
I'm OK by the way

[TallyB]

Good to hear that you are ok Gary. Can the bike still run?

[malc87]

Not the news we want to hear
As long as you are ok is the main thing as the bike is repairable

I think the distributor is salvageable...
Currently getting recovered by Wolfie

[Olde Coney]

thats not good Gary, as long as you are ok...the bike is fixable

[skub]

Leaves are lethal when wet. All looks repairable,glad you are not needing repairs. Us older folk don't bounce like we used to.

Got Gary and bike home last night, Jo wasn't happy so he might have had a good tongue lashing.

I texted him later to check that she hadn't strung him up by the nadgers..

Some folk pay extra for that.

Bloody hell Gary, that’s not good!

Glad you’re okay, and hope your ears aren’t suffering too much?

I'm a bit bruised, but the rest of my bike gear did it's job

Ouch. No armour on the knees Gary?

Ouch. No armour on the knees Gary?

It's the inner part of my thigh on my right leg
My jeans have a small pocket for some armour for the pelvis/hip, the day before I looked at them and thought maybe I should get some armour for them?
BTW there's hardly a mark on the jeans or my armoured shirt

Yeah,odd things happen when you have a get off. I bet that's a bit tender!

I mostly use armoured jeans now,RST being my usual. Aside from the protection,I like that they keep the chill off my old knees on a cold day.

Shit happens and it can be repaired, main thing is you are alive and kicking
