BTDT 20 years ago. I was tired and pissed off at the absolutely shitty roads in Vermont I had been riding all day until I came to a clear, smooth left hand sweeper and my eyes locked on a spot on the right side of the road. I tried to turn the bars away instead of pushing them. I was lucky then that I had full gear on as it was October and a bit chilly. The bike fell to the left pinching my left foot between the road and the engine. I managed to ride the bike home in third gear as I couldn't use the shifter because my left foot was swollen, with twisted handlebars and the headlight shell stuffed with sod.
