Osaka Cherokee

wiped out on my bike. was hauling ass down a wide road (old 26 from Sakai to Izumi Otsu if you care) when i decided to get on the sidewalk to avoid a truck that was coming behind me. there was about a two inch lip to get up on the sidewalk and i hit it going too fast and at not enough on an angle. my tire skidded along it right into a guard rail. i went flying and i was sliding across the concrete i saw my bike doing a couple tumbles right behind me. no major injuries to report. i bloody left knee, a scraped up right foot, an abrasion on my left elbow, bruised hands, a hole in my pants and in my gloves, and a severe blow to my pride. my bike came through without a scratch. that thing is a fucking tank.
takami foresaw this happening and expressed only slight concern resolving that these things are inevitable when you're married to an idiot.
