Sucks big time, but could have been MUCH worse! Count your lucky stars.

If you are going to have to lay it down, grass looks comfy compared to asphalt. Glad you're ok and no damage to the bike..

Congrats on coming away unharmed. Thank God there was grass and not a guide rail. If I were you i'd give my ride bell a polishing and a kiss.

glad to hear all three of you are ok. As stated before, atleast she didn't say done all together. If you don't rush her she may come around on a nice clear night with alot of stars out.

Glad you both are okay. None of us is perfect. And I've been guilty of this and I'm VERY lucky I haven't gone down. I'm not judging, but you went down because you rode where you couldn't see. That's a valuable lesson for all of us. Thank you for posting this.
