Curved into a slight turn, noticed more twigs I needed to avoid and BAAAAAMMMMMM I hit a split treet that was portruding out into the path. Fell and took a skid on my left side. Scraped up and left wrist a little mingeled and left palm killing me. Banged my head and nice to have a helmet! Took a quick glance of the bike and it looked ok.

The last half mile to work took a long time it seemed. Couldnt apply pressure on my left wrist and it hurt to put my palm on any part of my bars.

Just another day!
Glad to hear that you are okay but... Dude, if I posted every time I did something stupid and hit the ground, my post count would be somewhere around 100,000 If it's an epic crash with a huge yard sale, go ahead and post it. You get points for epic. If it's just you being dumb...and dumb happens to us all...look on it like Fight Club.
