That's the right way to deal with it. "I hit you because I made a bad driving decision, so you should give up motorcycling because it's unsafe." - a thing an actual adult says to their crash victim.

Your bike is telling you it doesn't want those ugly rear end tumors grafted on it. It gave you a warning tap and then you went and ignored it and got what you deserved.

Trambopaline posted:slightly off topic but is it just the crashability that makes enduros so newbie friendly? I bought one mostly because I thought i'd hit fire roads with it but are there other aspects of riding dualsports that are particularly instructive? I ask because i've never really ridden on anything other than single cylinder 250cc dual sports. Light, narrow, simple, not excessively powered and confidence inspiring. A 250 Ninja has all those qualities too, except when you drop them they gently caress up a bunch of plastics. DRZ, not so much. The only thing I'd say against a DRZ is that they can be intimidating for shorter riders/people who need to feel both feet down at a stop when they first start riding.

MonkeyHate posted:Got in my second wreck of the summer. Met my wife at the grocery store and parked my bike up against her car's back bumper because the lot was full. We did our shopping, then loaded kids and groceries into the car. I said "Bye! Love you! Don't run over me! haha!" She said "haha". Then I put on my helmet, climbed onto the bike and she ran over me. You might wanna get your kids to taste test all your food.

I'm phone posting so I could only see the video on a tiny screen without audio so take it with a grain of salt: The violent maneuver with the bars just before you went down: was that you doing it on purpose, upsetting the bike and causing the crash or was it a reaction to something else and already part of the accident? Alternatively: Mechanical failure of some kind? Bearing seized?

Pothole with one hand on the left bar janked the front wheel weird and dumped you off cause you didn't have two hands to absorb the shock properly?

I've watched it again with sound and on a proper screen and yeah tend to agree with others in that you got a little off balance going one handed, and then accidentally grabbed a bit of front brake when you suddenly put your right hand back on the bars and ate poo poo for your trouble.

Not really. You said you were fiddling with your right pocket just before the accident which could mean your weight was shifted which might be why you drifted a little to the right in the first place, then grabbed the brake while off balance and boom. quote:Something I've learned from this is the importance of wearing gear that fits. My helmet and my gloves worked perfectly. My jacket did very little, and I know it's because I bought it when I was 303 pounds and kept wearing it at 215. If I hadn't been lazy or cheap or whatever, and wore a jacket that fit properly, I might not have had such a severe shoulder injury. Same for my shoes. I wasn't wearing my boots because I didn't want to scratch the bike. Maybe, maybe not. The jacket is good for reducing the risk of road rash but no amount of body armor is going to save you if you bodyslam the pavement like that. You should still deffo wear stuff that fits though because if it rides up during a slide and exposes skin then well... Also wear your boots dickhead.

Sounds like you had your mind on anything except what you were doing. Lucky you didn't get hurt.
