Another addition to the statistics that show most accidents happend close to home (pehaps because that’s where we ride the most?). My worst bike wreck was 1/2 mile from the house. Have fun with the insurance company.

Thanks for the good wishes. I am really sore and will probably not have any lasting damage.

Brad, really glad you’re okay! Fast or slow, the damage can always be severe. I have had the same exact sensation about spinners and have nearly had the same accident you did. I’m proud of you for dressing properly. A little sweat is much less annoying than a skin graft! Get back on your horse, and ride, ride, ride!

Glad you aren’t hurt seriously. Wanna sell the VFR?

Thanks for the comments. I have more soreness today (Tuesday) than I did on Monday.

I never realized there was such a problem with the spinners – very interesting design error. Simulating movement is clearly dangerous. Maybe I should take them off the Prius

Glad you’re OK.

Brad, glad that you are okay. ATGATT, right? If this doesn’t show you nothing will.

Take care and start the Ibuprofen now.

Phew — very glad you’re okay, and that the gear paid off.

Interesting thought about the spinners — I don’t know that I realized before that aspect of how they could be dangerous.

Very good writeup.
