eeeeeew, had a close one yesterday

When I gave Barraka, (my listering ex-place of employment) a visit yesterday, I swooped in on The Flag ship, and misjudged how fast I needed to be going to get up the curb.
I slipped up in a scary way.
The bike went from a graceful loop from my lane, across the empty on-coming lane and square into the curb in front of the building to a dead stop. I expected to keep going so I would have time to get the landing gear down but the front wheel was going way too slow to get up the concrete curb.
I was in riding position and falling sideways real fast, that kind of crash almost always creates severe head wounds that bleed a lot plus you cant see them so you just keep pulling out hairy flesh when running your fingers across your scalp, all the while losing memory like a gas pump meter running backwards.
To make matters worse, the only helmet I wear at work is a pith helmet made if some kind of marshmallow , I had to act fast.
The only way to dismount that bike is to be entirely on the landing side.
I threw myself into the air without letting go of the handle bars, tucked my feet as far up close to my fat ass as I could and aimed for the ground, sticking a landing that resembled a dumpy Olympic, gymnast dismounting a double stacked McDonalds dumpster.
I was sooooo lucky friends, I could have stuck that sweet landing with nobody watching, that would have sucked!
I was very fortunate, there was a street full of people who all just thought I was just a show off. They didn't know I was just trying to save application data in the old noggin.

I'm glad I have training and not get hurt , the tall bike is still bar none the safest bike I have ever tried. Besides user error, traffic slows down in all directions as they notice me.
Portland drivers kill bike riders all the time, I guess they know if they kill me it will be extra messy so they back off.
Baby update: der still ain't no baby as of now, da mama is stable but misrable.
