I crashed my bike today with the SO on board. We are both ok. I have a splint thingy on my arm and that is it.
Coming off a canyon run up and down east canyon (Hwy 65) and we had been pushing abit. Had the roads to ourselves.
On the way home through the valley I am taking a 270 Deg onramp from I215 west to I15 South. 25MPH onramp and we drift in about 50 or so…. Been on this turn a million!!! Times… OBVIOUSLY pushing too hard for the street.. 60% of the way though I see some white stuff in the road. Like a truck dropped a bag of concrete in my lane…. I am outta options since I was riding harder than I should have… My mind yells at me “Ride the bike” So I look up and look through the turn and try to ignore and hope for the best. “Ride the Bike”
WHAM,, Lowside at about 50-55 or so…
I see the bike separate, I see me sliding, I feel no pain, I glance to my left and see the SO sliding… She looks ok just sliding along….. I hear the bike hit the gravel and think….. ops…
We finally stop sliding and I feel no pain and jump up… Walk over to Kenra and say
“You OK???”
“Yes”
I extend my hand and she takes it and I help her up….. By then we have people stopped all over the freeway onramp running toward us.. Lady one a cell phone with 911 telling someone to hurry, guy running over to help. His gf in the car still, He asks me if I am ok, asks Kenra, we both say “Yes”
Finally the girl on the 911 call registers in my head and I tell her.. “we don’t need anything, we are fine” She hangs up, I don’t remember seeing her anymore after we say “Thanks”
Guy helps me pick up my bike, Lotsa cosmetics he says he saw me coming and was watching because he rides too and we were railing through that turn. I finally (as I was sitting back on the hurt bike) say “Dude, that was COOL!!”
I did not know what else to say.. I was not hurt really at all, Kenra is fine. Bike is hurt but insured.. We rode the bike home.
Handle bars are crooked, Brakes shuttering, not trusting her too much since she is obviously not a happy girl.
We make it home, I realize my wrist hurts, we go get an xray, they put a splint thingy on my arm and we are done
Now, Time for the honesty and the gear and the pics..
I was riding too fast… But it is how I ride. My wreck was a matter of time
We were 100% ATGATT 2X. After we got home and got a look at the gear it did indeed sacrifice itself for us.. Pics to follow
The end result
Kenra is 100% fine nada scratch..
The rear tire.. see the powder
My boots…….. Damm good I had them on.. Alpinstars
My pants pic one
My Pants, Pic two…. ALL the way through.. My Levis beneath… Not even a spot of dirt…. Olympia Pants.. did their job
My Right glove…. Frank Thomas kangaroo leather… Supposed to be really good ones.. Eaten half way through. We slid about 50-+60 feet easy . This is the hand that has the sling thingy on it
Kenras Frank Thomas Jacket
Kenras Olympia Pants. Shot one
Kenras other pant leg
My joe rocket jacket
Bike pics later….. It is hurt too but who knows until I have it taken apart
