So on Friday morning I was riding my scooter to work. It had just rained so the ground was slippery. I was traveling down a 3 lane one way street and at an intersection, a car from the middle lane, I was in the left side, decided to switch lanes. This moron, without looking, moves straight towards me. So I slammed on my horn and my brakes at the same time.
When I did that, I started sliding all over the road and the bike came out under me. By the time I lost control I was only going about 5-10mph, but it was enough to hurt.
I didn’t break anything, but I did slightly bruise my tailbone, and scuffed up my jeans a bit.
I just got up, a little shakin, and stared at the driver and proceeded with a one finger salute. Went off to the side of the road, collected my thoughts and inspected the bike. All was good. I even made it to work on-time!
So now I have to be careful when I sit or it hurts. Plus I have decided not to ride my scooter in the rain anymore.
I drew a crappy picture so you can have more of a visual on what I was talking about. Enjoy!
