Car pulled out in front of me, locked the back tire up, slide on some gravel, lowsided. Picked the bike up, moved it to a side street. Rode on into work, worked, came home, still pissed.
Just some road rash, bruises, and pride shot to shit.
I hate you fell. Just glad you are okay. Don't worry about the pride thing man, everybody goes down just a matter of time. It is going to happen. If you made a mistake then learn from it, that is what I've had to do.
You're okay, other than the rashed ego and small cuts, so permission given to count your chickens. I locked up my rear today, but kept it locked so I wouldn't highside if it regained traction. Came out okay, just skipped a heart beat.

Straight road, was going well below the speed limit, speed limit is around 55 there. I tried everything, front rear, back tire locked up once I geared down and then she locked up. It was either that or hit the side/back of the car. Nothing I could do. Would have had a better chance keeping it up without the gravel there. Soon as I hit those few loose rocks she was down.
