Crashed Yesterday...and I am paying for it...

Was riding along a lane which has bikes parked on the side with very little space (only one lane of traffic)...saw that is empty, revved up a little and crashed into the right of an oncoming Indica. Bike not damaged much. GEAR saved me!

Owned up for the accident and offered to pay the damages.

Lessons learnt - When faced with a risk, dont BRAKE instantly, first look for an alternative route (i got target fixated actually - major mistake)

Pump brakes

Most importantly --- when you know you gonna crash, loosen up your body, you will avoid major damage!
