was riding to Mersing Malaysia for Bak Kut Teh as a member
of a small contingent of small bikes (sparks, waves &
pulsars) with the goldwings, st11s & vfr old men
riders.
I ran over a pothole in Malaysia roads....the front wheel run
thru it fine, but the back wheel was thrown sideway onto the
side of the road kerb where it dips down to a path of yellow
sand.
I obviously used my right palm & right knee to break the
fall.
The right knee was thankfully encased in my riding pants knee
guard so it was fine.
The right hand had bruises at the palm and the wrist broke out
as a fracture. there was another fracture at the arm.
Fellow riders says they saw from their rear mirrors and 3 of
them saw in front of them that they saw a cloud of yellow smoke and
guessed that a rider had fallen.
I had rolled horizontally onto the Bike Lane and was consious.
(I totally dont remember it. my memory stops at GP Esso and woke up
at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.) But the rider who pillon me back
to sg and tan tock seng says that i am consious and kept asking him
in a dull voice "how did i fell?"
Ayway, I liked to thank a busa rider for taking pics of the
scene of the accidennt so that i can see what happened and piece
the event together. he was embraressed that he was taking
pics but i was more grateful.
My bike now is no longer recognizable as a new sub rider changed
everything for me. From new fairings to sports rims.....
