Hey Joe, glad to hear that you're not too badly hurt, and neither is your bike...
When I were a reckless youth I wore jeans when riding and collected many a scabby knee from various offs throughout the learning process : - given your proximity to Swindon it may be a good idea to have a browse round George White's bargain basement section and treat yourself to some leather or textile trousers that have some armour in them - you may be surprised how incredibly cheap some of that stuff is, and some protective gear could save you from far worse than a scabby knee in future... :'(

[smiley=thumbsup.gif] Agreed Scotty [smiley=thumbsup.gif] You can even get some of their Red Route armoured jeans but textiles probably a bit better in this weather

OOps! Did the same myself the day before my test. Glad your ok.

I high sided on a 125 the day of my test(Mod 1), kept being told i wasn't stopping quick enough so grabbed the front brake and went over the handle bars.

Fortunately Mr. Able had a spare bike for me and i went on a passed in the afternoon =), i was wearing a pair of textile trousers that where ripped to shreds at 35mph, jacket had a small tear but defiantly showed me the importance of wearing bike gear.

Glad your ok though Joe

Good to hear you're OK

Chewing tarmac ain't nice

Glad you didnt get badly hurt! Glad you are ok.. Might not be the most helpful comment now but small offs like that do make you a better riding, mine certainly did. All the best with the repairs for both of you!

Hi Joe sorry to hear about your accident but glad your ok. Riding is certainly an on going learning experience and I am just recovering from a broken leg as i too grabbed the front brake too hard :

And that YBR has never quite been the same since... :
I won't forget that Rob. You scared the bejesus out of me...

Any spill that you walk away from is called a 'learning experience'... [smiley=happy.gif]

I'm dreading mine :-/ but glad to hear you are ok and well impressed that you jumped straight back on the bike [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Hope bike isn't difficult/expensive to sort and glad it was just a scabby knee
