    Had a fall on my bike on the way home. Two lane road with a turn lane (right turn only) and just as I’m pulling into that right lane, soccer mom in the SUV decides she needs to make a right turn and cuts me off, no signals, she didn’t even look. (if you’ve read your drivers manual, this is an illegal lane change, look it up)

    I swerved and missed and hit the curb, messed up my highway peg and sandwiched my boot between the bike and curb, and laid it down.

    Luckily I had all my gear on and the worst damage was my poor boot got scarred up pretty bad, thank goodness for steel-toes. and some dirt on my riding pants, I felt impact on all the most padded places and it didn’t hurt at all, the Kevlar even held up without any abrasion. Remember bikers, ATGATT. Got home no problems.

    ouch …glad your safe, glad my ride home is 98% highway. The more I see of lay downs there seems to be the highest percentage of those in city/urban settings. I don’t like messing with them anyway. Things like this just bolster my dislike.
