ive done it a million times, stuck my knee out.. had a little drag and then suddenly my rear wheel let go.. wombles...
i slid for a bit.. then i started to roll... my left arm dislocated and began flapping around like a ragdoll was hilarious, managed to grab my arm and hold it in for the rest of the rolling..
finally came to a stop and laid on the floor wondering how badass it looked and how i was alive, tried to get up but obviously left arm was wombles and i ended up just spinning round on my knee slider failing so 2 guys helped me up.. by grabbing me under my arms.. which then put my left shoulder back in.. sort of... looked up to see bike had gone miles up the road and come to a stop against a roadside barrier.
limped home and went to hospital who said go to a&e my arms not in properly...
yay.
4 hours later i was discharged in a metric wombles ton of pain.
damage to bike:
screen and fairing on right side, bar end, mirror exploded, exhaust ground down, indicator wombles.. so all in all.. not bad!
damage to me:
Road rash on my right arm, left arm dislocation, cut on my left hand, cut and bruising on right hand.
damage to leathers: wombles worn through in places.
red where i slid out and blue where bike stopped, i was about half way between the 2.
disclaimer: i know i was as stupid Hippo, i paid the price, lucky not to have deaded myself.
