He's in his lane, and as far as I can tell from a still photo he's comfortably in control. That's more than can be said for most of the traffic on that road. Kudos for good riding.

I waasn't trying to come off rude as you are acting. the track is just a better place to find the edge of the tire. GreenMachine zx-10r nope not at all!

Tiago, you've got two broken arms and now you are blaming the tires. C'mon man. A single-vehicle accident is almost always the rider's fault. Sure, there are always contributing factors (wet road, gravel, "cold tires," etc.), but it's up to the rider to adjust to conditions. If you are blaming only the external factors for the accident you are deceiving yourself. Unless you recognize that you are ultimately responsible for what happened, you are bound to repeat the same mistake and crash again. In any case, I wish you a speedy recovery and I hope you get back on the bike again soon.

Tiago, don’t assume that when someone gives you shit about something they are doing it to be jerks. They might just wish you well :)

Of course an accident can happen to anyone. I’ve dumped my bike before too, and it was my fault. My point is this: when you crash and live, you need to ask yourself what *you* could’ve done differently. By recognizing which error(s) on your part contributed to the accident you learn to avoid repeating those mistakes in the future.

In your last post you said you recognize that it was your fault and that you learned from it. Good. That’s all I was after. Again, I hope you heal fast and I wish you all the best.

Two arms.
Man that is tough.
Riding and life is a experience.
And we all know......Experience is what you get, When you DON'T get what you want.
I have lot's of experience :-).
Heal fast.

Uh, maybe it is a dumb question that I should have known, but uh, how is it you haven't had your surgery and have two broken arms and can still type?Heh, guess your feet are more talented then mine;).. Heal well and come back with your new edge..

thiagoleal16, I hope you get well, and I am glad you know I was just teasing ya.. I know how it feels, I have high sided at about 60 and it hurt to the point that if a was chewing something my whole right side hurt(the side I landed on). I know 'my bad' unfamiliar, too fast, and I went sailing through two front yards in front of the owners to boot!.. Anyway, just messin with ya..
