Came off my bike today

[Vasquez]

Was going round a corner about 25mph and hit some diesel, it was mad I honestly though i'd just gone over some ice, just fell on my bum and the bike went sliding into the other lane in front of a bmw (don't worry the beemer was fine).

the bike was suprisingly undamaged, the left mirror is gone and the left back indicator other than it seems fine, though the handle bars seem a little squint, not very noticable though.

picked her up wheeled her over to the side and got her started again, no problem.

live and learn i suppose.

Hitting diesel is the worst as it just happens without warning. Good to hear it was the bike that slid in front of the BMW and not you! Make sure to get your bike checked out at a garage, in case your forks/frame are bent.

I will, anything else I should check?

I've had that happen to me before, though I was going a little too fast really and I should have spotted it, especially since the petrol station was right before the roundabout. I've learnt since then.

Good to know you're ok, as well as the bike being in good nick. As others have said get it checked out for bent forks, brakes and any other possible damage. I hope you now have the mandatory scratch on the crank case

yeah I do now

It was a fairly soft crash (from what I can tell) and I've looked at the forks and they seem ok I'll get my dad to look at them though as hes crashed plenty in his time.

I really hope this isn't going to be expensive
