You always here it's not IF but WHEN you have a bike accident... in the last 6yrs I've logged over 90,000 miles and I crashed on a dumb mistake, I was NOT going fast 25-30mph, I was caught looking back in my mirrors to make sure the truck I just met didn't hit my wife and got in the curve tried to correct it and saw I couldn't grab brakes, hit gravel and it was like I was on ICE...lesson learned....Oh this little accident is going to cost over $7,300.00

At least you made it out of the parking lot.

Bike can be repaired and you only have a small flesh wound.

Glad you escaped with relatively minor injuries. Heal well, heal quick. Fix that bike (or get another one...good time to slip one in. LOL ). Ride safe!

I was visiting my young friend last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper. "This is the 21st century, old man," he said. "We don't waste money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPad." I can tell you, that fly never knew what hit it...

Crashing always sucks but at least you walked away from it.  My experience with crashes, both my own and those riding with me is that it is normally a moment of inattention or stupid mistake that does it.  It can happen to anyone.
