Modern Vespa

OK this time it was the classic tale of taking a 90 degree turn at normal speed after our abnormaly wet spring and the inter section is badly rutted and washed out and filled with gravel from heavy rains. I lost control and laid it down rather then hit cars waitiing to turn left.

For those of you in Colorado it was on highway 7 turning right on colorado blvd . The pavement here is all torn up compounded by the weird rains we have had this year. One guy that stopped was a harley rider that nearly saw another bike go down at the same spot.

I ate it good and tore up my right elbow. knee, and shoulder. People that saw me wreck were cool including the the guy that saw another near wreck at the same spot and said he was gonna grab a broom and clean it it up.

Now I got my scoot ready to ride again but when re-attaching my righand mirror it broke off in my hand. Any ideas how to correct this problem will be apprecriated. Basically the mirror came off in my hand when trying to tighten it down.
Any advice appeciated

Bum deal about wrecking but glad to hear you are relatively ok after it.

I got dumped recently too. A lot of rain in the North East and cruising up to an intersection I happened to hit the brake right as I went over a manhole cover type thing. Rear tire slipped out and down I went.

Plenty of Advil and a beer or three will heal you up quick

Damn, sorry to hear about your accidents guys, I hope both heal up quickly.

ate it AGAIN? time for scooter 101

I should point out I was wearing an armored Corrazo jacket, full face helmet, riding boots and gloves. Had I not been it would surely have been a trip to the emergency room and I would have missed several days of work.

Wear your gear.

Poman - you are in the completely not helpful category.

Ouch. Be careful, guys.

Yikes, glad all is well. Hope someone can help with the mirror question, too.

Glad you're OK!
Where did the mirror break?

Glad you are OK.

Can you elaborate on "tore up my elbow,... and right shoulder" as you were wearing an "armored jacket"? When you say "armored" I assume "armour" means hard armour in elbow and shoulder.

Glad you alright. Now slow down.
