First drop

Post by chicken_strangler »

dropped the bike for the first time today. was on my way home after picking something up from school and stacked it near a pedestrian crossing. i know no matter how i explain i am still legally in the wrong :x

the roads were fairly greasy and i was travling at 50k comin up on the crossing and slowed down to 30 k looked at the crossing and it was clear, i kept goin at 30k only to have some lady run out when im barly 5 meters from the crossing.

me of course being a learner grabbed brakes................and ate shit, i slid for about 3 meters on my arse and elbow.
the bike had already been dropped so there were already scratches so its just a mirror to replace and the fairing (when we re-sell it)
after the accident lots of people were quick to help me out however the lady was nowhere to be seen.

if anybody wants to know the pants and gloves from aldi didnt hold up to bad :kuda:
and does anyone have any secrets or tips for gettin bitchy marks out of jackets?
Peace......Means havin a bigger stick then the other guy.
