Title: Dropped my Ppl 150 :(
Post by: mrrmutt on October 04, 2010, 08:57:07 PM
Saturday morning I was on my way to a club camping outing and my People 150 started to miss a little on the top end. I turned around and headed for home to get a different bike. Pulling into my own drive I was going a little fast, in a hurry 'case I was going to be late now, and I dumped her in the gravel.  I wasn't hurt so that was cool and the bike only broke off the left mirror and scratched the paint. I painted it in the first place so I guess I can paint it again. The reason I'm posting this is that because I was headed out for a weekend I had on most of my riding gear. I didn't have boots on but wish I had. I ride a lot around the house with mo gear at all and had this been the case I'd be cut up pretty bad. I'm especially glad I had gloves on. Remember to use your protective gear, no matter how far your going.

Good to hear you are ok. That is good advice, also something that I could practice a bit more.

Hate to see that this P150 going down thing is becoming contagious (see my post of about 2 weeks ago).  Glad you're OK and hope this is the last one we read about for a long time!
