Last weekend my dad and I took a little trip to California for a motorcycle run down there. It is kinda one of our father daughter yearly things :). We took a little spill…which was the first time I ever have. I got a pretty bad case of road rash on my knee, wrist, and also sprained my ankle.
The crazy thing was that I would have been ready to hop right back up on that bike and continue the ride. The only thing holding me back was the fact that I couldn’t get my boots on anymore, and my knee needed medical attention. Hehe :D.
Now I am just chilling, waiting for my body to recover. I feel so thankful that my injuries were not bad for a motorcycle accident. Many of the fellow riders were wondering if I would ever ride again. Heck yeah I will. But I have learned a valuable lesson and will not go without my gear! The gloves saved my hands (for the most part), the boots saved my ankle and foot, the jacket saved my arms, but I unfortunately was wearing jeans and so my knee had little protection. That will teach me!
Anyway I am pretty stoked still about getting myself a motorcycle. My dad has been trying to get me out to help him look for a replacement bike for himself and possibly a cheap one for me to get comfortable on :). It will still be a few more days of staying off my feet (for the sake of my ankle more than anything), but hopefully I will be able to check out possible bikes soon. Interesting how when something bad happens, it spawns good things to happen :D.
