So hard the rear was bouncing off the ground and skidding. I got down to about 10 MP and hit a curb and went over the bars, kinda saw it coming and bounced the rear of the ground to minimize damage to the fork. I landed right on my head in the grass and rolled over. Nothing but a lil scrape on my knee...glad i bought a helmet.
Don't wory about it. most of us road riders have come off at one time or another whether we admit it or not. Naturally i'm perfect, have never missed a corner or mis-judged the conditions. I have the scars to prove it. Oops, rumbled! Don't stress too much. I'm glad you're ok.
