My worst isnt that bad in comparision to some of yalls. I do have a bee story as well, but a boring one. Riding along about 30mph or so i felt something slap me in the cheek,( rain and bugs really sting when they hit you in the face at 30+mph) annoyed me but it happens and i continue on. About 15 seconds later i feel something moving in my hair, by my ear, INSIDE my helmet. Taking into consideration the recent bug on the windshield, my face being the windshield, i hit my breaks as hard as i can to progressivly stop, without locking it up, combined with engine breaking. Got off to the side pretty quick and very carefully, but speedily removed my helmet, and soon as a did, a large orange wasp flys out. Did not get stung thankfully.
I have had 2 spills, neither very bad. One was on a gravel road, there was a Y, i was coming from one of the forks, not the long end, and a car, heading toward the forks, looked like it was going to the left, down the fork opposite me. It did not. At the last moment the idiot swung back toward me, pretty much head on. I tried to swerve around, but gravel, so it just went out from under me. Only moving about 10mph, hardly slid but maybe a foot. No harm done. That was my second wreck.
My first wreck, while not as bad as some of what ive read here, would be my worst. Come upon a curve a bit too hot, maybe 25mph, and it was almost a right angle turn. I took as much of the turn as i could while holding the break, but it wasnt enough, the instant those tires touched grass it just went sideways. Rolled me a good 10 feet. Was wearing motorcycle helmet, no face shield, and thick leather riding jacket, (it was winter) so a few bumbs and bruises, pretty stiff leg where the bike hit it, but overall not too bad. Quickly rushed back to my bike, the wheel of which was happily spinning away, and hit the kill switch. I always thought it was funny how in motocycle wreck vids on youtube, the first thing someone does is rush, or hobble, to thier bike to kill it. Like my leg might be broke but ill be da~ned if my engine will be lol. Then my first wreck i immediantly did the same thing. So i gave myself a once over, saw nothing major, hopped back on the bike and it started right up. Got out of dodge b4 someone questioned me. Funny how when you get in an accident, youre like, i hope no one saw that. Rode about a mile b4 thinking to check my holster, (I never leave home unarmed) which surprise surprise was empty. I slam on the breaks and doubletime it back to where i wrecked b4 someone driveing by spotted a gint and earned a free gun. I did slow down at the curve this time. Thankfully i found my gun easily enough, had a bit of mud in the slide but it wouldnt matter if i needed to use it, being a tatical model made for dirty work. Checked again, still noone has noticed my presence so i book it out of there. Got home, stripped and checked myself over, zero road rash. Thank you motorcycle jacket. My thigh was a bit stiff for a week from where the frame hit it, but that was about the extent of my injuries. Wear protection guys, could have been much worse if i wasnt.
