only if youre uninjured :D and even if youre injured, in my extensive experience of this, thinking about the bike is only ever done after checking Im ok and going to live :D .

THEN the bike becomes the most important worry for yourself followed by your leathers ie will they have to cut them off. For others, theyre still worrying about you cos you dont seem to be worrying about anything other than your leathers or bike :D

That isn't always the case.

When I had the bus jump red lights and take me out, although I thought at the time that I had broken my leg, my first thought was to get to the bike and check the damage.

When I did my wheely gone wrong and fell on my already broken but healing pelvis, my first thought was the bike. When the I realized the bike would survive I then felt the pain.

The only time I have thought about my injuries before the bike was when I crashed into the Armco.

:shock: :shock:
