After the crash: What did you learn? - Page 2

Stay in the lines!!!!

My accident wasn't that bad considering the low speed but I was pulling off the road to help a downed friend. I still had a lot of speed with me when I crossed the white line right into a gravel build up.

Regardless, always stay away from the lines. They are slippery and crossing either one is bad news.

I never learn anything. I just keep crashing, and crashing, and crashing, and crashing...

let see, first of all (many years ago) dont loop a wheelie wearing shorts and a t shirt!! EVER, you wont have skin ANYWHERE, you cant feed yourself, dress yourself, etc

second: cars dont see you and will run over the entire left side of your body, fracturing your pelvis, breaking most of your ribs,shoulder, collar bone, etc

Cell phones leave a nice size bruise for about 2-3 weeks when you land on them.

I've thought about this one before, in terms of if I'm better off with it in the front pocket of my pants or the pocket on my jacket
