Red face dead sv

picture this












that was about 100mph, going in a straight line and the next second im on my ass, **** knows how. right side of bike is as pictured, the other side is as good as new.
i have sprayned my wrist/thumb and they think it might be fractured.
Trousers and gloves shreaded to **** but my jacket and lid didn't touch tarmac.
would have been dead if i hit anything, so very lucky.

Glad you're alright, you're very lucky to have come off so well! The bike looks like it's held up pretty well too.

hold on... you were on your SV, doing a ton... in a straight line and then you fell off?
In combats?
And you were OK?



I dont think I am really understanding any part of this.

They look like draggin jeans or something similar, with the crash protection in. I was wondering how you fall off at that speed and your jacket doesn't touch the ground though

Well at least your okay and you can fix your bike, its good that your hurt any more than you were, which is a good thing! Though I would get your wrist looked at, you want that fixed.

A guy a work came off his bike and though umm, my wrist hurts. He decided to get an x-ray after carrying shopping, riding the bike around ect, he was sure it wasn't broke though! Well until the x-ray

Do you have any idea what caused you come to come, like desil or bad road surface ect?

I have to say I am gob-smacked your clothes and the bike look in such good condition considering a spill at 100mph and not hitting anything. Both you and the bike must have slid for an awful long time.
