I guess I gotta look before I leap

After my test ride today, I went to turn her around in the yard and put her in the garage. Should've looked before I rode through that patch of grass. Wasn't just grass there.

 

Revs shot up, I grabbed the clutch as she went sideways, planted my left and tried to tumble off. Left slipped, bike took the right with it and I did almost a full split against my will. Bike is fine, walked her up and put her away. I'm not fine. Pulled half the muscles in my right leg and it hurts like hell to walk.

 

I've turned her around in that exact spot so many times over the past couple weeks it isn't funny. I made the mistake of assuming that the yard would be free of danger. Not an error that I will be making again any time soon.

Damn bro, sounds painful. Stretches like that can do some real damage. Especially when there's weight like a bike involved. Hope your ok...

Ouch!

That hurts just thinking about it.

 

So if it wasn't just grass there, what was hiding there?

Hope you recover quickly.

 

No matter how much you might think ahead of time that if the bike is falling you'll just let it go because you know you might hurt yourself... when the time comes, it isn't so easy to do.

Sawdust. I'm back in business and back in the saddle. Been cutting it a lot closer coming in the driveway so that I don't have to turn it around.

Good to hear you are back in the saddle and everything turned out alright.
