I make this trip 2/3 times a week today was more eventful than the rest for whatever reason.
Started out on the way to work catching a known bunch of bumps on a major road tossed me over the handle bars but landed on my feet and only damage was a broke fuel filter and about a 5 minute repair .

on the way home a bit more of the same energy folowed me home.

While cruising down the busway I saw as usual a non aware of surroundings bus passenger exit bus and walk into my path so I used my foot to lock up the front wheel and over I went, done it many many times but this time my shoe fit in perfect and over I went. the asain woman about 30 feet away saw I crashed and asked if I was okay but I never looked at her and she walked away, I was lying on the floor making sure I was not to banged up before I moved. Bent poked a hole in my gas tank, broke my brand new phone I just replaced the screen, popped my bag of chips, broke a glass jar in my back pack, broke my rear light strawberries on my hip and shoulder and had to make a new gas tank to get home. of course the last 4 miles was in the rain. I did make it home before dark at least. View attachment 101073 View attachment 101073 View attachment 101073

yep a bit sore shoulder but nothing busted. was about 15 miles away from home when the endo happened. saved 1 qt from my tank and it got me home after I made my new tank up. no leaks either! best part was not even getting upset.
