Bah. One for the ticker.

Ah, I know that feeling well -- a combination of anger and shame and regret.  Sorry, mang.  Then again, you crashed in the middle of traffic and only have minor scuffing (to you, the bike and your gear) to show for it.  All in all, that's a "good" crash, to the extent any are.  And this uses up one from your crash quota, which is also good news. 

Glad you're ok, MM.   [moto]  I'll buy the beer.   

Beer. Good.

Sorry you stacked.  Gland you're not busted up.
I hate the low speed ones, embarrassing as they are.  I 'crashed' in a parking lot and got stuck under my bike.  The bike was a single cylinder and it flamed out right when I blipped the throttle, and I tipped over with my feet on the pegs; Crunch.  Flopping around like a fish - inebriation was key- but there was an element of dread that I've never been able to shake, laying prone, stuck, knee-high to a bunch of cars backing up.
Use more gas, just blast right out!  At least I learned something.

Once again, and again, it wasn't my day.

Cheers,
Jimbo

Thanks for the story and words of consolation Jimbo.

If it makes you feel any better I Crashed on the Superhawk at about 10 to 15. One car ahead of me was making a right onto Sir Francis Drake. It went,  I looked to the left to see if I could make it too before the onslaught of traffic came, and I went. When I looked at where I was going, the car in front had second thoughts and had stopped. I had a very minor crash into the rear side of the car that had stopped with my then girlfriend on the back (Now my wife of ten years). Stuff happens when you're not looking sometimes.

Fortunately that has been the only crash on the street for me other than some silly parking lot drops at less than 5 Mph.

So don't feel to bad. Just be glad it didn't happen at speed.
