Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Look left when turning left 2 Years, 10 Months ago   looking to see how much room you have in a slow turn is a natural response, unfortunatly on a bike, you see the extra room and try to use it..........   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #210292 scoop47501 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 238 Re:Look left when turning left 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Glad your ok and hope the bike is as well.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #210336 jvcexc (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 477 Re:Look left when turning left 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Thanks scoop for the thought and the picture. Tried to find it earlier today to explain to the wife what I was supposed to be doing. jvcexc   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #210341 sal (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 379 Re:Look left when turning left 2 Years, 10 Months ago   jvcexc wrote: Well, as the subject suggest, you should always look left when turning left at low speeds. The wife and I went to the grandsons ballgame tonight. When we got to the parking lot, I was doing a typical low speed left u-turn at the end of the lot to go back to a space. Was pretty close quarters and I looked to the right to check how close to a truck I was and the Roadie came to a stop under full left turn. This thing drops like a rockwhen you do that . The wife didn't think it was so funny as she rolled off the back and hit her head on the parking lot. She had her helmet on and only jammed her wrist a little, but was not too happy with me. Knew better, just didn't do better. jvcexcDid the same thing to the wife in the driveway beginning of spring.She was a gymnast so she did a great roll.Still pisted off , but a great roll.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access. #210352 MrFurious (User) Flatlands of NW Ohio Gold Boarder Posts: 646 Re:Look left when turning left 2 Years, 10 Months ago   jvcexc wrote: The wife didn't think it was so funny as she rolled off the back and hit her head on the parking lot.

The foam used in helmets isn't designed to absorb more than one hit. Even if it only compressed a tad bit on this hit, it's that much less protection she'll have in a more serious accident. Even just dropping a helmet from waist high will damage the foam enough to warrant replacing it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #210717 Big Dawg (User) On the road again . . .
