Hey folks, a quick FYI. Sadly due to my co-host Jim sustaining injuries in a minor motorcycle accident (cuts and bruises, nothing really serious, thank goodness), we’re gonna skip the podcast this week so Jim can rest and recuperate. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I wish Jim a speedy and easy recovery.
Edit: This video via Jim explains what happened. Fast forward to 11:10:

Rules:
1. You go where you’re looking.
2. DO NOT get off the throttle. The bike will immediately stop turning. I got spooked because I was too fast into a corner and on a bad line. I chopped the gas.
3. If you go into the grass, you’re going down. Try to look stylish about it.
Glad you’re not hurt too badly. I’m a cyclist also and have been in several accidents over my 25 years of riding. It’s going to happen, only the luckiest have never been in one. Frustrating when you know the accident was your fault and avoidable. My worst accident was one of those. Thankfully ended up with only a broken collarbone.
I’m a big fan of Keith Code’s book and Lee Park’s book on riding.
Also, full safety gear even when it’s blazing hot outside. Bare minimum armored jacket and helmet. Never shorts or open shoes.
Some British guy took his key?
Hope Jim gets better.
Get better, man. Glad you’re ok.
It’s good he’s not too badly hurt. I had a motorcycle accident too a few months ago so I know he could’ve ended a lot worse.
