Re: Crash Analysis: What did you learn?
Going back a few years going to work in the morning on a CXh***a I hit a wallaby (midget kangaroo ) while cranked into a long right hander doing probably 65 to 70 mph .
Me
Broken left wrist skin off both elbows and right knee .
Bike
Right mirror- right header pipe- right foot peg- right front and back brake levers a ding in the back wheel from one white post and a large dent in the fuel tank from the next white post both front and rear blinkers .
What I did right
Passed a car full of railway workers just before it happened so I had somebody to pick me and the bike up off the road , and I was going fast enough to kill the little sucker.
What I did wrong
Didn't heed the wake up call from the previous week when on the same road same time of day but on a different section I went through a group of about 10 of the little critters but luckerly for me none were in a suicidel mood that morning .
Should have worn the leather jacket that went with my leather pants ( may have saved my elbows ) but the leather pants lasted about two nanoseconds after hitting the black stuff .
Thoughts on how it could have been avoided
Listen to the wild life maybe but there is not much you can do when committed to a corner and a kamikarzi hopper takes the front wheel out and you have only enough time to think this is gunna hurt .
My philosophy is if you do the miles it will happen from time to time , I try to make the intervals as long as possible .
