Wear Your Gear
Glad to hear you came out relatively unscathed and thank you for reminding us to go ATGATT.
Sadly, over the past few years, my eyes do not see the slight shadow contrast of road versus gravel, at speed, and I got caught out.
In and out of trees, early morning, I hit a patch of gravel going through a right hander, that I didn’t see. Both ends felt like they were on ice, being a bit of a dirt biker, especially riding on a lot of sand in FL, I fought the tank slapper down to about 10mph where I ended up on the grass verge on my side of the road. At which my front end just dug into the peat moss dirt and bought me to a quick soft stop. And although the bike tipped over it this soft, fluffy stuff, causing no damage, I got deposited back on the road and slammed my shoulder and face down into the road, good enough to trash my Shoei.
As a result, 40+ years after I started riding, I have decided to hang my leathers up. I may do a track day, here and there, but my desire to ride has been diminishing more as time goes by.

I was on a well-used route called Lovettsville Rd, major gravel covering the complete width of the road and about 15' in length. I was traveling about 60 MPH, the gravel was in the shadows I did not even see it until I was on it, front end was floating back and forth and must have been pointed to the right when we hit clear pavement cause it high sided and spit me off, landed on top of helmet and right shoulder.

My shoulder and wrist are sore, my arm has a good scratch above the elbow, knee and back are sore. A local told me that road had been like that for several days. No excuse for that amount of gravel to still be in that roadway. Helmet and Jacket have to be replaced; they did their job. I'll be switching to using my perforated leather jacket all the time. - Gene

I lost it and told him a few choice things and finished with as a Certified Motorcycle Safety Instructor I would be prepared to testify that said motorcyclist had no available options. Had he seen the gravel he could execute no avoidance maneuvers, the entire roadway was covered in deep gravel. Further given the shaded nature of the roadway it was not visible and once on it, the reaction of the motorcycle was immediate as evidence by the fact that rider and motorcycle separated in less than 75 feet from the end of the gravel, which is less than a second.
I cannot help but wonder what his training is and if even rides.

you (even if you had to use a bit of strong language).

That sounds like a lot of gravel to spill on the road and not flag or mark
off, or stay with until you call the highway patrol to come and flag it. It
also sounds like you were carrying a pretty good speed when you hit it. So
glad to hear you are okay and that the bike was not declared a total.
My two similar experiences were at much slower speeds. First on a
cloverleaf exit where what I thought was dried spilled paint was spilled
sand resulting in low side- sprained thumb and minor damage to bike, rode
it home. Second was riding the twisty back roads home in the rain when I
discovered just how friggin' slippery chip seal is when wet (it should be
banned). I totally got that now on ice feeling; traction went from
excellent to zero instantly. Reached the end of the chip seal, now going
much more sideways than before, traction returned, down I went. Broke
collarbone and a few bits on the bike with that one. Luckily, the tow truck
driver also rode, so he did a nice job of getting us both back home.
Yes, always wear your gear. Stay safe.

Cute, in this crowd I doubt you will get any pushback about wearing a helmet, and certainly not me. Full Face too, the scratches on the face shield is proof that it is better than $$$$$$ in cosmetic surgery. No comments about me needing some cosmetic surgery anyway, shh Nora thinks I'm good looking. - Gene

I was on a well-used route called Lovettsville Rd, major gravel covering the complete width of the road and about 15' in length. I was traveling about 60 MPH, the gravel was in the shadows I did not even see it until I was on it, front end was floating back and forth and must have been pointed to the right when we hit clear pavement cause it high sided and spit me off, landed on top of helmet and right shoulder. I HAD MY GEAR ON, Bohn armor https://www.bohnarmor.com/.../cool-air-mesh-armored.../https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bohnarmor.com%2Fproduct%2Fcool-air-mesh-armored-riding-pants%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR03sJlhZDGi6X_RYXjIwJnSzGbbHo_oD_HvSwDD_KuNLckYHKhiqZvaGy8&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cb6dad1d2036e4433734208d946edb489%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637618809018349127%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=sJiX7o37RBKXDVAve4hSpomwshR%2BhnjFnmyCkEfsYRU%3D&reserved=0 underneath my jeans, 1 little scrape on the jeans, RSD leather mesh gloves, Alpinestars mesh Jacket, and Shoei RF1200 full face Helmet. My shoulder and wrist are sore, my arm has a good scratch above the elbow, knee and back are sore. A local told me that road had been like that for several days. No excuse for that amount of gravel to still be in that roadway. Helmet and Jacket have to be replaced; they did their job. I'll be switching to using my perforated leather jacket all the time. - Gene

My beloved Victory Sportccruiser, a rare beast. They only made them 2
years 2000-2001. Mine is a 2001 Speed Yellow with White Stripes, there are
only 30 made in that color combo. An example of that bike was used to do
the sighting lap for 2 years for every AMA Superbike Race.
I was riding that bike to go to the Barbara Fritchie Classic, oldest
motorcycle race in USA. I had a good riding buddy, Bill Bowen, who was
riding his Sportcruiser to meetup with Nora and I, also on my Sportcruiser,
in 2008. Bill had a heart attack on the way and passed on the scene. We
adopted the road where he passed and do road cleanup 3 times a year and I
always ride my Sportcruiser to that race.

Wow! Sorry to hear about this, Gene.
I was up in Malibu about 20+ years ago and had a similar experience. Hit
sand while leaned over mid turn. Shady area and never saw it. High side and
landed on my head. Was unconscious for 15 minutes or so, until the
paramedics arrived. Life flight to UCLA trauma center and kept under
observation. Took months for my memory to get back to whatever can be
considered normal. Short term memory was the issue
Glad to hear you came out of this in one piece.
What bike were you riding?
