Just plain stupid

This mornign was absolutely beautiful so i decided to wear shorts and ride my bike to school as I usually do. I went and pushed the bike out of the garage and turned it on while I closed the garage door and put on the helmet. For some odd reason I backed the bike out so i would have to do a u-turn on the lawn to get out the driveway. Not even thinking i hoped on a did a u-turn on my very dew soaked lawn. Needless to say I didn't get to far. We went down so fast i couldn't even put my foot down. I was unhurt just a small cut on my hand, but my bike was covered in grass and dirt. When I picked it up i realized just how lucky I was. The only thing wrong with the bike was the brake pedel was bent. I was very pleased with the performance of the frame sliders. I was just so mad that i had to walk into school all wet and muddy

I bet if you hadn't been wearing shorts, that wouldn't have happened.

Re: Just plan stupid

Just have to get this out of the way:

Dont be a !

Wear your gear, as you can now attest, you never know when you'll go down. ATGATT!

That being said. Glad you were okay and there was minimal FZ damage.

there is a lot of truth to that, when i am wearing less gear than normal i find myself much more nervous on the bike and that is when you make mistakes.

Glad that you are ok and the bike is also good.

As long as we're talking about oddball cause-and-effect, then perhaps wearing shorts was the reason he went down in a nice soft spot.

Re: Just plan stupid

Is it really just plan stupid, or plain stupid.
