Well, It happened.

I finally had my first accident after about 3 years of riding. Someone stopped suddenly in front of me and I wasn’t paying attention. Once panic set in I did everything wrong, stepped on the rear brake too hard and tried to steer away which caused me to end up on my side.

I feel like and idiot but, luckily all I walked away with is a scrapped knee, a bruised ego and a valuable lesson learned, I need to practice panic braking. The bike barely has a scratch and I didn’t even squish the loaf of bread in the saddlebag, so best worst case scenario I guess.
