Biker Down…

April 12, 2007 2:01 pm

Met with a small accident yesterday :( Fortunately nothing much happened to me personally other than the jerk at contact… sadly the same cant be said about my bike :(

So it happened in the evening I was heading home and the light at the signal turned from orange to red. I came to a halt cursing my luck for being 2 sec slower… A few short seconds later I heard this skid behind me, anticipating a hit from behind(I have heard the sound of skidding tyres far too often :D ) I just stood up a little… The next moment I felt the bang from behind and my bike was pushed about 5 feet in front. The little adjustment I made allowed me to quite literally walk away from the bike as it crumbled below me.

Anyway it turned out that there was an oil slick a few feet behind me and there were supposedly a lot of accidents at the exact same spot in the last few min! The bike looked fine but when I tried to start it I realized it had really taken the brunt of the damage. Ended up giving it for a much overdue service today.

Not having a ride for the day is too much of an handicap for me :( Had to cancel my plans for the evening… hopefully will have my noble stead with me by the end of the day :)
