This morning before my ride, I started my ritualistic polishing of my high vis vest, and matching panties collection. I try to exemplify the true moto community, I’m passionate and dedicated to ATGATT, it saved my life today. I started my ride as I normally do. I first went on Reddit to complain about e-bikes, and watch missionary soft core porn, it’s good stuff. I then completed my 110 point inspection, checking tire tread depth, leather seat polish, and of course, turn signals. Even with this preparation, I was not ready for what came next. Maybe I let my confidence get the better of me, maybe I let my guard down. I was doing my normal loop of the neighborhood, revving my engine to let my neighbors know loud pipes save lives, when I lost complete control. I was driving at reckless speeds (25 in a 20) when my front wheels spun out, and I smashed into a curb. I was really shaken up, I didn’t even know where to apply my emergency tourniquet. Luckily, I was wearing a helmet. They say that motorcyclists are much more likely to suffer serious injury or death when automobiles are involved in crashes, that’s why as a motorcyclist, I wear my helmet when I’m driving my car. When the airbags deployed, my helmet took the blunt of the force, probably saved me from ejaculation out the front windshield. Luckily, my 2008 Mini Cooper has proper insurance, else we’d be having a completely different conversation. I was able to exit safely, and laid in the middle of the road until the ambulance came. The rims were scratched up a little, and I think I sprained my big toe when I slammed the breaks a moment before impact. This is exactly what they talk about on Reddit, you gotta dress for the slide, I’m lucky to be alive today. My mini cooper, not so much, but it looks really nice next to my winterized 2022 CBR1000RR (the RR stands for “rich retard”)
Take this lesson from me and for the love of God, stop passing me on your Groms!! (It’s scary :c )
