I feel for you... I am still awaiting my frame sliders... ordered them over a month ago and apparently they are back ordered. I was going to a job the other day on my bike, and the driveway was plugged up with vehicles. So I went around on the lawn and planned to come up on the driveway around the vehicles. Only one problem... the asphalt was poured unevenly and where it met the grass where I was coming up there was a 3 inch lip. Needless to say with the back tire on damp grass there was no way it was going over that lip. I applied the brakes and thought I might lose it. But I thought of all the "wet grass" posts on this forum and kept my cool. I managed to back the bike up to a better spot without losing footing. All ended up well. Whew. Note to self: stay off the lawn.

Glad to hear you are ok and I guess you understand now that it is comfortable BUT dumb to wear shorts to ride a bike.

This is what road rash looks like................... and no it is not me because I always wear my gear.

Yes it does look painful doesn`t it? This is from a cycle and not a motorbike. Motorbike road rash quite often goes down to the bone.

Don`t think it can`t happen to you because it so easily can.

Shorts on a motorcycle? Oh wait! I got one...

Sounds like you need a little practice in clutch and throttle control. When I lived with my parents, I'd routinely turn around, and drive away in wet grass without a problem.
