Hi just thought i'd share my sh*tty day with you guys.
My second day using my PX 125 disk to commute to Manchester and disaster! I was setting off from a set of lights and i think my fingers must have slipped off the clutch causing my scooter to shoot forward, my hands kept gripped on the bars and for some unknown reason i kept accelerating, physics took over and i ended up flat on my back with the scooter on my chest.
After a fascinating day in A & E i have been discharged with bruised ribs and a playground style grazed knee.
I have made a point of going straight out on my scooter to exercise some demons and practice some clutch control, still very shaken up but i know i've had a lucky escape, i plan to scoot to work in the morning.
Just wanted to share that with you.
Marvin.
P.S. the scooter is fine, just a few surface scratches that i will sort out at the weekend
