Well like you all say not if but when. Saturday out for a ride took exit off freeway one that drops right away down to the street and a pickup truck stopped half way down. I tried to stop but I was slowing down from 55 and there was not enough room. 30 ft skid almost to a stop and down I went. Bike is in great shape just bent my running board some and my light bar. Both I should be able to bend back but I broke a bone in my foot and dislocated my big toe. My jeans saved my legs, my gloves savied my hands my helmet never hit the ground but my boots saved my foot from a total loss. people stopped to help which was nice. I checked the bike out and road home then the cage to the urgentcare. On the way a few bikers passed in shorts, thin shoes and no protective gear. If they only new the pain of a 2 inch rasberry on an elbow. I am looking at a few pictures I took at the seen to see what I did wrong and learn to ride better.
