On Halloween day , it had rained and the streets were wet , so , between showers and I decided to get in a quick ride. I took my Roll because of its wide tires , thinking it would handle the wet pavement the best .
I was cruising the neighborhood, topped a hill and went down a short ways and went to turn around in the middle of the road , turned left , cross the road and when I turned to complete my turn around going up the hill , the front tire hit a slick spot and slid out from under me . I was about a half mile from home and rode the bike home .
My wife talked me into going to an orthopedic and I had my right hand x-rayed . Doc said he couldn’t see any breakage . I go back today for a recheck .
Bruised up and sore , but getting better . 280 lbs hitting the payment and landing partly on the bike at my age hurts and takes awhile to heal .
Luckily, I had on my helmet and full fingered gloves .
