An Accident
Had a little accident early in the morning (about 0510-0520) on Thursday (04 January 2006). Went over a speed breaker (that was not marked and had no lights around), and could not keep the bike under control when I landed after the little flight. The helmet bore the brunt of the fall and I remained more of less undamaged. The bike had a little damage, but nothing major. I believe the damage would have been worse had I been driving at a higher speed (was driving at about 30-40 kmph because it was so cold that I could not imagine being able to drive any faster)
Words of Wisdom:
1. Don’t Drive.
2. If you must drive, don’t drive on roads that have bad lighting.
3. If you must drive on roads with bad light, drive at 10kmph or less.
Note to my co-workers: I should (hopefully) be back on Monday (08 January 2006)
