How often are you humbled by your bike. How long has it been since a crash has put you in your place. Do you get cocky and feel you are invincible. If this describes you, then you need to ride with me. I got down right humbled on Sunday. My bike reminded me that I am just a rider and can be tossed at any time. I came up short on a double, grabbed the bike with my knees and held on. Unfortunately, the bike decided that it had had enough of me and tossed me over the bars. Then it came down and slapped my back. Was I wearing my chest protector? No. I was knocked out from hitting my head on the ground and then received two broken, not cracked, ribs on my right side.
A hard lesson to learn that we are only riders and sometimes, our bikes own us. Please learn from this and wear your gear. I was stupid and no matter how long I've been riding, it could happen at any time. Pain sucks, coughing hurts and I pray for no sneezing! :ohmy:
