My motovlog will not start right now... i crashed
Hi everyone,
i crashed last week.
I accelerated on a stripe, i first lost the front and then the rear.
I overestimated my skills, the tyres were cold and was late and in a hurry, i didn't have the time to put on my boots and my knee protections ... i regret.
I have no serious wounds, just a little burn on the left kneel and a little one on the left foot.
I am at the point where we overestimate ourself after the license and i should have been more careful.

Ride carefully ! Don't do like me...
I am ashamed towards my crash but i keep the video up so new riders can learn from my erros and avoid them.

glad your injuries were not to serious.

consider it a lesson learned.
fix up the bike, heal up yourself, and most importantly, don't do that again.

Yup, lesson learned. I really drived like a fool this day.

what you did is easy to do. I expect cold tyres. A good friend of mine did exactly the same as you and he's been riding for 15 years. It can happen.

Ouch. Get better soon, hopefully you have learnt and can move on. Ride safe!

Glad you're ok. On a positive note, at least you caught it on video (Sorry)

Glad you are okay. Looked like a low enough speed that the bike didn't get torn up too bad.

Its a learning curve, we all make mistakes and Im sure you have spotted them and played it back in your head again and again and again. Only one thing worried me was the quote above.

I know you learned there is always time the hard way.

This may sound silly but I moved house not long ago, I moved from number 16 - 36 on the same road. When it came to moving the bike I still changed into all my gear to move it that little way. Over cautious ? Maybe... but better safe.

I do agree, i usually wear all my gear :?

I stand by the words "all the gear, all the time"

It seems to be the time you don't where it gets you.

Damn Murphy's Law
