Glad that bike and rider survived without much damage.
I hate that moment when you realize that it's going sideways and you no longer have any control over the outcome. An eternity in the instant between upright and prone.
Took a test run on a bike the other day, when I realized that I had only "snugged" the stem bolt, and hadn't torqued it down yet.
This occurred to me while the bars were going left and the forks where going right. Scraped my knee on the pavement, but the wound to my pride was much deeper.
