First Road Crash...

[Mightyman]

I have fallen off of my ped in the past doing about 10mph but never actually fallen off or crashed properly until the other day.

I'm thankful it was nothing bigger, as it easily could have been.

I had my helmet mic on at the time so you can hear me swearing at the guy

Partly my fault as I was over the speed limit slightly.. But he did pull out very late to be fair.

Also, TDR / DT brakes aren't the best as I'm sure you all know. And a wet day to top it off..

All in all though, it wouldn't have happened if my throttle grip hadn't of come loose as I left work. I'm usually TOO cautious when I see cars sitting in spots like this.

The ol'codger didn't see you, Guilty!

At least it wasn't to fast

Nicely saved! You could have easily slammed the front brake on and low sided it.

That's the best thing about my build. The brakes.

I'd have probably punched the ole git LOL
Nice save tho!!!

@Mightyman

hey dude,quick question did you have sintered pads?

my brakes also suck lol

[Mightyman]

@tdr125greg No idea to be honest! I don't brake enough for them to need changing all that regularly and haven't done so throughout the 2 years of my ownership. The HEL braided lines certainly helped though.

@Mightyman okay mate thanks,i will look into the HEL hoses once ive swapped the forks whhel and brake over
