Got my bike back from almost two weeks in the shop getting new ebc rotors .
my buddys like lets go riding.
we where riding on a busy 2 way street.
a van just turned into our path.
I was about 30ft behind my friend.
he locked the brakes fishtailed and highsided.
he then slid under the rear of the van.
He went under the rear wheels getting mashed up bad.
looked really f*ing bad.
he was lying on the road f*****d up screaming till the ambo got there
he's out of hospital now.
amazingly no broken bones, just an injured shoulder and ankle, ligaments and cartlidge etc..
bike the frame slider cracked the motor mount.
before seeing this i was a very hardcore rider. 130 mph on the FDR in traffic etc.
I ride mostly with brooklyn bike groups including double R
anyway since seeing that i've been riding like a real pussy and am mad freaked out,
i cant stop thinking about accidents etc. this is really affecting my riding, and enjoyment of my bike.
I went out to LI on the weekend and was cruising at about 75-80 instead of my normal 100-130.
I feel theres def something up with my riding psyche now...
anyone else witnessed something that changed their riding ??
