hitting a guard rail high sided on a wet road in gravel

I suppose it is not often that you get video of your crash, sometimes it is better if we do not, I made all of the mistakes that you could make, cold wet roads, a right hand turn which in Pa almost always means gravel in the corner. I was waved on by the car but it was a steep down hill which means even less traction. Minus some deep tissue damage to my arm and some serious bruising on my legs I limped away. I rode the bike back to the hotel 50 miles away with no clutch lever, the guys stopped at each intersection to stop traffic so I coulds slow down but not have to come to a complete stop.

Being a optomist in life I took my mistake and turned it into a commercial for my company figuring to make the best of it.

I have been riding for 35 years, the best advice I ever got from one of my friends was.

You know that voice in your head that asks "Should I do this" at our age it is better to say if you have to ask yourself should I make this pass, the answer should be always be NO

Video here if you care to watch me hit the guard rail the camera is rear facing. I am a riding instructor with the CSBA and use it to teach others form and technique, and to help keep riders from doing stupid stuff while not intending to be the example; there is no reason not to share a teachable moment ...Bob
