So last Friday I got clipped by a car. I am ok a few bruises and soreness but nothing broken. The bike is also not too banged up either. Thank you frame sliders!!!
I was going down sunset blvd in the left hand lane and the guy next to me wanted to be where I was. My front tire was lined up with about the middle of his car. Well he came over and clipped the front of my bike. The bike went down and so did I. Luckily it was only at about 10-15 mph so it was not a bad one.
What did I learn:
1. Always be ready to move away from other motorist
2. Stay out of blind spots :spank::spank:
3. Continue to always wear my gear
4. Falling hurts
Damage to gear:
NONE!! my jacket where i hit the ground wasnt even scuffed I couldnt believe it.
Damage to me:
Bruised tendons in the right arm and I only have about 50% of my range of motion with it but everyday is getting better with increasing range of motion:rockon:. A small patch of road rash on my right knee. Random bruises on my right side
Damage to Bike:
1 cracked headlight casing, a cracked right side plastic on the front of the bike, and a right side frame slider rubbed down
The only problem is people are now asking when I am selling the bike. Screw that I can't wait to get back on the thing once the arm is better
Attached is a pic of the bruising on my elbow I'll post bike damage pics later
