Look Ma, no hands! (or: how I trashed my new GTS)

Jun 20th, 2006 | by Neil Barton | Posted in scooters | Comments Off

I crashed my new GTS today. It’s a good thing I have full insurance coverage. I was coming down a road, not paying as close attention as I should have (kind of on auto pilot). An oncoming pickup was drifting into my lane, I over compensated and swerved to the right, towards the curb. I hit my throttle more than I should have. Either I could have gone down with the bike and hurt myself, or ditch the bike and stay safe. So I ditched the bike. Not a scratch on me… can’t say the same for the bike.
