Ouch

What a way to start....Big plans for a ride and following up with pics and commentary were replaced with some road rash on my knee and a trip to the shop to get parts....




And all because I was being lazy and didn't want to take apart the bike to jump the battery - instead opting for the more exciting 'bum-start'. Clutch got away from me and I was lifted from the ground by a freshly started bike and deposited a few yards down the road. Luckily the damage was limited to my knee, a cracked rib and a bent shift lever and peg. The paint was saved by my body as the bike came to the ground.

Oh yeah...the best part was that it was my wife's bike. I'm sure she'll start talking to me again soon.

Although I'm back in the saddle and riding to work every day, I have delayed plans for a long weekend ride.
