Had a crash this morning

[gzoom]

To the OP, hope your brakes are working now, just don't try to take 90 degree turns in the wet at over 15mph, down hill, with slick tyres on. My brakes were working fine, but the tarmac is a surprisingly effective way to slow down

I wouldn't recommend using tarmac as way of stopping on a regular basis tough, its not good for you or the bike!!

Woah brother! I had hoped I was the only one who was a bit dozy on down hills - hope that doesn’t sting too much. I’ve not been on my bike since !

Thats some nasty looking scuffing! The arm doesn't look too bad though

Last time I had an off was at 50 kph on the flat - the cleat broke! A lesson to me to check their wear...

I had to look twice to check exactly what part if the body that was.

When I was learning to ride a motorcycle, instructor always told us, "look where you intend to go, not at the obstacle". She (Instructor) always said this was something to do with centre of gravity. I have no idea why, but, it did work.

Motogp, or any racer, demonstrate it very well
