You come and crash into xBhp out of the blue with a relatively intimate piece of information about an ' on road failiure'.
Good to see you sharing the way you have done and trying to learn something new from it. Most people take a crash as their weakness and a blow to their machismo.
A positive and educational distillation of this would definitely be this:
No matter how experienced or careful a rider you are, you can and will encounter an alien situation on the road which will throw you off balance and (hopefully) just skidding on the tarmac without any major damage to life and limb.
One must also always remember to first take care of themselves, then their pillion and then worry about the bike.
The rolling fall technique is also very good to prevent major impacts.
Shifting this thread to 'The Art of Safe Motorcycling'. I will let others to give their inputs on how to deal with a crash.
Please follow these guidelines:
- Do not give detailed esays of your own crashes.
- Do give clear and precise pointers on how to deal with a motorcycle crash
- Do include points on treating physical and mental trauma, legal issues etc.
- Only relevant inputs will be approved, no 'Great post', thank yous etc!
