SOOOOOoooooOOoooo...
Yesterday I was headed home w/o any of my gear on like a moron. I make a turn I have made a thousand+ times going a little faster than normal there is a little more loose gravel than normal and I start to slide a tiny bit. Well my reaction to touch the front brake was a bad idea as I low-sided (I think that is what it is called) the bike and jacked up my shoulder, arm, leg and ankle. Needless to say I don't really need anyone to tell me "I told you so!" or "ATGATTTTTTTT!" me to non-existance. Just wanted to remind everyone including myself not to take riding loosely. I jumped up let out a very loud scream and a few explicatives picked up my bike and rode it home like a boss!
Bike isn't toooo bad considering how fast I was actually traveling. Bent handlebars, small dent in the tank, scraped the plastic above the tank, bent the gear selector in and scraped the side of the engine.
last piece of advice IF you have road rash I would recommend a product called "tegaderm" film by 3M. It acts as new skin kind of
UPDATE ~~~~~
So I woke up and found this today. It's a nasty bruise from the top of my hip to the middle of my thigh
