Re: Crash Analysis: What did you learn?
-Brief recap of the crash
Yesterday afternoon. I was taking my bike to a temporary storage facility to clear the garage as we where doing some epoxi paint in the garage floor. As Im leaving my street I have to make a rigth turn, I look... no cars coming... gas.... clutch... then I saw a squirrel on a tree... I stared at the tree until I realized I was heading to it... I corrected direction very abruptly, then I saw some gravel on the road... next thing I see in the bike in the floor...
-What you did right
I was wearing Leather Jacket, thick jeans, leather gloves, steel toe boots. Helmet in mandatory for the military so that one is a given.
-What you did wrong
Many things - Got fixated in an object. Where you look is where you go. I was wearing the Jacket and gloves for the first time - It saved my sking but they made me feel awkward.
-Thoughts on how it might have been avoided
Im an inexperienced rider. I have been riding for about two weeks and the monster is my first bike ever. I should have waited for the MSF before jumping in the bike. I could have just made a little correction instead of a big one and I wouldnt have fallen (or It would have been in the grass)
