well,it finally happend.bad luck caught up with me.i guess i needed it.i've learned my lesson,so dont flame me too bad guys.i decided to go for a ride around the block monday night,it was pretty hot/humid,i was in my work clothes,didnt feel like wearing my jacket.one of the only times i DONT wear my jacket i go down.came up over a hill about 50-55,front tire came up,then went squirrely on my,i fell off ,slid down the hill on my stomache,somehow managed to roll over and slide th rest of my way on my belt/pants/wallet.i did have gloves on,as the pics show,they didnt hold up so well.icon tarmacs,dont buy them!so,i was stupid,i wasnt wearing my jacket,stomache got rashed and so did my arm elbow.the worst of it is on my hands and my left knee.could have/should have been alot worse.But I'm pretty sure God wanted me to make it out of this one relatively OK.A neghbor came running over(after i picked the bike up and set it on the kickstand,how?i dont know,that thing is heavy!)..then he took my home.I was pretty pissed,threw my helmet and stuff,so the parents knew it wasnt too bad.oh well.hope i dont get TOO flamed for the lack of gear.i know my mistakes.im buying lether gloves and maybe a mesh jacket.I was impressed with my work boots though,they held up quite well,no pain or anything in my ankles/feet.so,no major damage to the bike or myself,than God.my dad actually rode it home,that must have been fun!sorry for the typos,im using 3 fingers..haha.check the pics:
