My first bike crash

Oops. I knew this was going to happen sometime, but it still came as a surprise today.

I’m fine – this is what all that leather is for. Shoulder’s a little sore.

Bike is a bit annoyed with me now, but it’s nothing an afternoon of wrenching won’t fix.

  1. Damn! Is it just the crank case that’s scraped up? Didn’t bend the handlebars or anything? I’m glad you’re uninjured. Hopefully now that ‘s out of the way it’ll be the end of crashing!

  2. I also twisted the peg, dented the gas tank, and inflicted a few other scrapes. Oh, well. I’ll hit it with some flat black paint and all will be well.
