I went for a ride this morning on my old FZR Jade.

And she decided that I been neglecting her in favor of my R1 so she decided to throw me off....

I still love her even more now.....

Fortunately it was about 40mph so no real damage done to the bike.......

I have not fired so well....No broken bones but me left shoulder in well swollen...

First fall for 12 years....

And I am going out on me R1 later to go round the same bend faster hahahahahah

The first thing I did after I stopped sliding was run over and pick the bike up and get her out of the middle of the road...Then I felt pain in my left shoulder I took my glove of my left hand then thought.......

"SHIT MY PINKIE IS STILL ATTACHED"

It would have been a far more beneficial accident if my pinkie could of got decapitated.

These look interesting...

As i have got older my safety gear has increased.. Its the younger Valanatino's that need to take safety on board...

However, that airbag jacket ain't gonna save you from this..
