We've all been there dear girl, as long as you don't have to get carried away from the crash then you just feel a twit!

Yep. I lowsided on a country road at a sharp corner. Problems only doing 15 to 20 mph. Hit some muck off a tractor and I was gone. Gear did its job. Had a sore leg for a while, and a little more experience!

The scary part is:-

What would your injuries be in jeans and trainers? How many people do you see in exactly that?

Head didn't hit the ground so helmet is fine. Would definately get a new one if it had though. I slid on some gravel that had been dragged from a passing place by a car or something on a country road. Bruised knees and bruised ego! Managed to ride back home ok.

Heya Toxic,

Sod you - How is the poor bike? :lol:

Nah, kidding - Good to see you're upright and seeming unshaken from the experience. Back on the saddle and back out there, eh!

"Oh, the taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under..."

Sorry, got that song in my head!!

I've heard that you aren't a real biker until you've fallen off ... 

Then I'm not a real biker .................... and would like to keep it that way, thanks.

...... but good to hear you walked away.

Welcome to the slightly scuffed world of biking :) If you get any confidence wobbles, just do a web search for 100 (or any other number!) ways to drop your bike and see how many of us have done it before you ;)
