Went down for the first time :(
Well I guess it was bound to happen eventually (been riding about 6 years). Lady pulled in front of me and proceeded to slam on her brakes, causing me to lock up and go down. \\;Sprained my right ankle and have a little road rash on my shoulder and knee (about 35mph). \\;Bike is mostly ok, engine guard and saddlebag guard is scratched, as well as the lid (popped open when I hit I guess). \\;Everybody be safe out there!

I guess it's more accurate to say she pulled into my lane (from the left lane into mine, the far right). \\; Well since she didn't even stop (or slow down), I'd have to go with the latter! \\; The truck that stopped behind me said she even looked in her mirror and kept going! \\; He didn't see where she came from either though.

Jeesh, I can't believe some of you people, I'm sure glad you all are perfect drivers and never made a mistake and never didn't see somebody and pull out in front of them. \\; Some of you guys act like because you are on a bike he should have got up off the ground ran over to the car and shot the lady for making a mistake. \\; Give me a break, just be thankful nobody was hurt any worse then they were and all walked away..
