my 1st accident!!!

[Cla82]

hey everyone... got into my 1st accident the other day.. was s/b islington near the 401. a mini van cut me off pretty bad where if i didnt get away from it i would have been hit.
I hit the clutch, braked and next thing i knew i went flying of the bike and was rolling on the road...

it happened so fast im not sure what i did wrong, so any pointers/criticisms are appreciated.

broke my pinky! but the bike is fine, very minimal damage. broken brake pedal and just a very minor scrape on the bottom. so lucky...

Did you grip the tank with your knees?...


Was the driver charged or did he get away? This is why i always record my rides, people tend to drive less aggressively when they see the camera.

If they can see the camera they are aware of you. The ones that worry me are the ones that can't see a bike, truck, locomotive...

GWS OP

+1 ^ I agree...if they can't see a motorcycle/pedestrian/car/truck...they sure as hell won't see a small camera on your helmet/bike. They drive more careful when they see it because they also see you!

GWS OP - glad you didn't get too banged up and bike and body live to see another day

GWS pinky.. glad to hear you are well OP

[REDBALLS]

Did you make contact with the van? Or did you panic brake and high-side?

Btw Gws

I have my contour on all the time however most people always ask what it is ;p To the op i'm glad your okay, get back on as soon as you feel comfortable and don't let it get to you; it happens. All the best.

get used to it, it won't be your last accident, someone will, other then you will help you, it's beyond your control sometimes.
