You've all heard the expression- "its not IF but when." Well my when happened yesterday.
Actually it is a worse when- my wife low sided her Kawi ER6N on a relaxing sunday morning ride.
There is nothing worse than seeing your spouse in a ditch!
Luckily we always wear full protective gear from boots all the way to helmet and this prevented any road rash.
But- she has 3 broken bones, 2 in one leg and the other in the thumb.
We all think that this won't happen to us and that the person must have done something. But, we all inspected the road very closely, no sand not pebbles. She wasn't going very fast- it was a tight corner heading up hill- maybe 25 mph- bike just lowsided- it was instantaneous- she reports she was just looking up through the curve and that's the last she remembers before seeing the road sign her head narrowly missed!
Scorpion helmet, and jacket, olympia pants, and full over the ankle boots all kept her skin intact.
So, you never know when this will happen to you so be sure to be prepared at all times!
